Playground equipment and surfacing - Part 2: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for swings

This European Standard specifies additional safety requirements for swings intended for permanent installation for use by children. Where the main play function is not swinging, the relevant requirements in this part of EN 1176 may be used, as appropriate.
NOTE   Recommendations on the design and siting of swings are given in Annex A.

Spielplatzgeräte und Spielplatzböden - Teil 2: Zusätzliche besondere sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Schaukeln

Diese Europäische Norm legt zusätzliche sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen an Schaukeln fest, die dauerhaft installiert und für die Benutzung durch Kinder vorgesehen sind. Sofern die Hauptspielfunktion nicht Schaukeln ist, dürfen die entsprechenden Anforderungen in diesem Teil der EN 1176, sofern zutreffend, angewendet werden.
ANMERKUNG   In Anhang A werden Empfehlungen zur Konstruktion und zum Aufstellungsbereich von Schaukeln gegeben.

Équipement et sols d'aires de jeux - Partie 2: Exigences de sécurité et méthodes d'essai complémentaires spécifiques aux balançoires

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences de sécurité complémentaires pour les balançoires destinées à être installées de façon permanente et utilisées par des enfants. Lorsque la principale fonction de jeu n’est pas de se balancer, les exigences appropriées définies dans cette partie de l’EN 1176 peuvent être utilisées, selon le cas.
NOTE   L’Annexe A donne des recommandations relatives à la conception et à l’emplacement des balançoires.
