CEN/TR 16467:2013

Playground equipment accessible for all children

This Technical Report covers open access, unsupervised play spaces. It does not cover adventure playgrounds or other play spaces which are used under supervision. The intention of this document is to enable users, to a large extent, to access play spaces and use the equipment independent of the help of others.
This Technical Report is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1176 and provides guidance to those involved in the specification, provision and management of play environments. It is intended to help create spaces that will promote opportunities for children of differing abilities to have the opportunity to participate in unsupervised play, and with appropriate levels of challenge and risk.
The scope of EN 1176 (all parts) covers only the safety requirements for play equipment and play surfaces. When developing this Technical Report, however, it was realised that the scope for "play for all" needed to consider a wider context, covering not just the immediate play space but also provide information about the broader environment and other access and facility issues.

Barrierefreie Kinderspielplatzgeräte

Équipements d'aires de jeux accessibles à tous les enfants

Le présent Rapport technique couvre les espaces de jeux non surveillés, en libre accès. Il ne traite pas des terrains d’aventures ou autres espaces de jeux utilisés sous surveillance. Ce document a pour objectif de permettre aux utilisateurs, dans une large mesure, d’accéder aux espaces de jeux et d’utiliser les équipements sans l’aide des autres.
Le présent Rapport technique est destiné à être utilisé conjointement avec l’EN 1176 et donne des lignes directrices aux personnes chargées de la spécification, la fourniture et la gestion des environnements de jeux. Il vise à aider à créer des espaces qui augmenteront les opportunités offertes aux enfants ayant différentes aptitudes à participer à des jeux non surveillés, avec des niveaux de difficulté et un risque appropriés.
Le domaine d’application de l’EN 1176 (toutes les parties) ne couvre que les exigences de sécurité relatives aux équipements et aux surfaces de jeu. Lors de l’élaboration du présent Rapport technique, il a toutefois été admis que le domaine d’application du « jeu pour tous » devait être pris dans un contexte plus étendu, ne couvrant pas simplement l’espace de jeu immédiat mais fournissant également des informations sur l’environnement plus large et d’autres problèmes d’accès et d’installation.

Oprema otroških igrišč, dostopna vsem otrokom

To tehnično poročilo zajema nenadzorovana igrišča s prostim dostopom. Ne zajema pustolovskih igrišč ali drugih igrišč, ki se uporabljajo pod nadzorom. Namen tega dokumenta je uporabnikom v širokem obsegu omogočiti dostop do igrišč in samostojno uporabo opreme brez pomoči drugih. To tehnično poročilo je namenjeno za uporabo skupaj s standardom EN 1176 ter zagotavlja smernice za ljudi, ki sodelujejo pri pripravi specifikacij, zagotavljanju storitev in upravljanju igrišč. Njegov namen je prispevati k ustvarjanju prostorov, ki bodo spodbujali priložnosti, da se otroci z različnimi sposobnostmi vključijo v nenadzorovano igro z ustreznimi ravnmi izzivov in tveganj. Področje uporabe standarda EN 1176 (vsi deli) zajema le varnostne zahteve za igralno opremo in igralne površine. Vendar se je pri razvijanju tega tehničnega poročila pokazalo, da je treba na področje uporabe pojma »igra za vse« vključiti širši kontekst, ki ne bi zajemal le neposrednega igralnega prostora, ampak bi tudi zagotovil informacije o širšem okolju ter drugih vprašanjih v zvezi z dostopom in prostorom.

0 Introduction
0.1 General
CEN/TC 136/SC 1 decided in September 2007 to develop a document to support the following statement
taken from the introduction of EN 1176-1.
It is also recognised that there is an increasing need for play provision to be accessible to users with
disabilities.
Germany made the proposal for a European document, as they had developed a national standard
DIN 33942.
This CEN Technical Report is intended to provide guidance only.
