Introduction
This standard primarily targets planners, manufacturers, constructors, public authorities, operators,
technical experts and inspectors of skate elements and/or skateparks.
The purpose of this European Standard is to specify the safety requirements, which to a large extent
protect users and third parties (e.g. spectators) from hazards.
The use of skateparks is connected with sporting risks. Sporting skills and the use of suitable roller
sports equipment in combination with appropriate protective equipment essentially reduces the risk of
accident.
Not all possible forms of design, combinations, materials and/or structural elements of skateparks
and/or skate elements will be specified within this European Standard, as they are constantly
developing. Skateparks are often characterised by interconnected flowing rolling surfaces and elements.
With regard to these specific skate elements the general requirements of this standard need to be
considered.
It is essential that the development, construction and maintenance are carried out by competent
persons with sufficient training, experience and knowledge of this standard, as well as an
understanding of roller sports.
