European foreword
This document (prEN 13200-10:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 315
“Spectator facilities”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
Introduction
This document has been prepared in order to specify the general criteria for spectator safety
management.
Attention is drawn to the fact that in certain Countries additional/different requirements may be
applicable due to existing national regulations or equivalent.
This document starts from the Council of the European Union Resolution of 4 December 2006 and has
been prepared in order to specify the technical general criteria for the planning and safety of the
management in spectator facilities.
The principal objective of this document is to provide guidance on the assessment of how many
spectators can be safely accommodated within the viewing accommodation of spectator facilities used
for a sporting event.
The assessment to determine the safe capacity of spectator facilities is the most important step towards
the achievement of reasonable safety.
1 Scope
This document specifies general characteristics regarding infrastructures of safety and emergency
management in spectator facilities.
It specifies the method of calculating a safe capacity for the planning of the any event. e.

3.18
risk
combination of the probability of an event and its consequence
3.19
risk criteria
terms of reference by which the significance of risk is assessed
3.20
risk evaluation
process of comparing the estimated risk against given risk criteria to determine the significance of the
risk
4 Characteristics
4.1 Safe capacities
The most important condition for spectator facility safety is to set the maximum number of spectators
that may be accommodated. At spectator facilities, the safety management team should prescribe the
capacities for the premises as a whole and for each separate section of the viewing accommodation.
This standard provides guidance on how to determine the safe capacity within every kind of spectator
facilities. It emphasises that this capacity depends not merely on the available viewing accommodation
and the capacities of the entrances and exits, including the emergency exit capacity, but on the physical
condition (the (P) factor) and the quality of the safety management (the (S) factor) of the spectator
facilities. The safe capacity of a seated stand may be lower than the number of seats within it.
Another important aspect of the process is the type of event. Ground management will be used to
preparing for all the issues presented by the usual activity or event at the spectator facilities. However,
it needs to be recognised that different events will have their own unique circumstances, req
