Permanently installed outdoor fitness equipment - Safety requirements and test methods
This European standard specifies general safety requirements for the manufacture, installation, inspection and maintenance of permanently installed, freely accessible outdoor fitness equipment. This standard does not cover electrically driven equipment, functional training facilities (typically with unrestrained weights) nor military style obstacle courses.
The equipment is intended for youths and adults or users having an overall height greater than 1 400 mm to promote fitness by using the equipment to exercise. Equipment covered by this standard is not playground equipment for children (EN 1176 series), indoor stationary training equipment (EN 957 series) or free access multi-sports equipment (EN 15312) even if it meets the requirements of each of these standards.
NOTE In this standard "permanently installed outdoor fitness equipment" is simply called "fitness equipment".

Modules fixes d'entraînement physique de plein air - Exigences de sécurité et méthodes d'essai
La présente Norme européenne spécifie des exigences de sécurité générales relatives à la fabrication, à l’installation, au contrôle et à la maintenance des modules fixes d’entraînement physique (fitness) de plein air en accès libre. Elle ne couvre pas les équipements électriques, les modules d’exercice fonctionnel (généralement avec des poids libres) ni les parcours d’obstacles du type parcours du combattant.
Les modules d’entraînement physique sont destinés aux adolescents et aux adultes ou aux utilisateurs mesurant plus de 1 400 mm et visent à promouvoir l’activité physique par le biais d’exercices réalisés sur les modules. La présente norme ne couvre pas les équipements d’aires de jeux pour enfants (série EN 1176), les appareils d’entraînement fixes en intérieur (série EN 957) ni les équipements sportifs en accès libre (EN 15312), même si les équipements couverts par la présente norme répondent aux exigences de chacune des normes précédemment citées.
NOTE Dans la présente norme, « module fixe d’entraînement physique de plein air » est simplement appelé « module d’entraînement physique ».

As long as there is human interaction with moving equipment there is a residual risk that cannot be further mitigated in order to maintain the function. However, a slightly incorrect execution is considered not to cause severe health consequences for the user. In the case of improper use, bruises, sprains and occasional bone fractures caused (e.g. by falls) might have to be accepted. In correspondence with the available opportunities, it is advisable to offer introductory courses at regular intervals, in which trained experts explain the individual pieces of equipment, their handling and their possible effects on the body and mind. The design of outdoor fitness equipment is subject to constant development. Therefore, the design of particular types of equipment might not be specified in this European Standard, however the general requirements of this European Standard apply to all equipment.

— either by using considerable material thicknesses, — or by leaving rubber parts visible for inspection. Consideration should be given to weathering of structural components through ultraviolet influences. 4.2.6 Dangerous substances Dangerous substances shall not be used in the manufacture of fitness equipment in such a way that they can cause adverse health effects to the user of the equipment. NOTE Attention is drawn to the provisions of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 and its subsequent modifications. Prohibited materials include, but are not limited to, asbestos, lead, formaldehyde, mercury compounds, coal tar oils. 4.3 Design and manufacture 4.3.1 General Fitness equipment shall be designed or set-up/assembled so that the intended use is/are easily identified by the user. It shall be considered during the planning and design of fitness equipment that such equipment should also be accessible for people with limited capabilities and should be useable in accordance with these capabilities. Fitness equipment shall be designed so that marginally incorrect executions of exercises do not lead to serious damage for the user.
When at rest the fitness equipment shall automatically adjust so that the equipment is ready for the following user. The equipment should be designed so that the user cannot attain a constrained posture.
Fitness equipment shall not permit the functions neck pressing (see Figure 4) and deadlifting (see Figure 5).
NOTE The aim of this requirement is to avoid excessive compression of the spinal column. SIST EN 16630:2015

For fitness equipment, the structural integrity shall be proved for the worst case of the intended combinations. Structural integrity, including stability, of the equipment shall be evaluated by one of the following methods: a) calculation on the basis of the applicable specifications in EN 1176-1:2008, Annex A and Annex B, except for Table A.1; Table 1 of this standard should be used instead; b) physical testing, in accordance with EN 1176-1:2008, Annex C (using weights in accordance with Table 1); c) combination of a) and b).

4.3.3 Surface finish of accessible parts of equipment There shall be no protruding nails, protruding wire rope terminations, pointed or sharp-edged components. Wooden equipment shall be made of wood with a low susceptibility to splintering. The surface finish of equipment made of other materials (e.g. glass fibre) shall be non-splintering. Rough surfaces shall not present any risk of injury. All weld seams shall be smooth. Protruding bolt threads shall be permanently covered on all accessible parts of equipment (e.g. with dome headed nuts). Nuts and bolt heads that protrude less than 8 mm are permissible on inaccessible parts, provided that they are free from burrs. Corners, edges and protruding parts within the training space that protrude more than 8 mm, and which are not shielded by adjacent areas that are not more than 25 mm away from the end of the protruding part, shall SIST EN 16630:2015

Tread surfaces shall be designed so that liquid can drain off. A tread surface with a minimum width of 100 mm and minimum length of 300 mm shall be available per foot. Additionally, the tread surface shall provide at least a three-sided safeguard (at the front, left and right) that is a minimum of 10 mm high and extends over a length of 75 % of the side surface. This requirement is not applicable to rotary discs with a diameter of at least 320 mm. 4.3.5 Moving parts There shall be no crushing or shearing points for the user between moving and/or stationary parts of the equipment during use. The distance from moving parts to adjacent moving or fixed parts shall be either < 8 mm or ≥ 25 mm, if only the fingers are at risk. Otherwise, it shall be either < 8 mm or ≥ 60 mm.
Any trailing of pedalling equipment shall be reduced by technical means, e.g. braking, free wheel. For the following rotating parts, trailing shall be reduced by technical means: — rotary discs with open surfaces; SIST EN 16630:2015
