Napihljiva igralna oprema - 1. del: Varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode

Ta evropski standard se uporablja za napihljivo igralno opremo, namenjeno uporabi otrok, mlajših od 14 let, in sicer posamezno in v skupini.
Ta standard določa varnostne zahteve za napihljivo igralno opremo, ki je namenjena zlasti skakanju in drsenju. Določa ukrepe za obravnavanje tveganj in čim večjo omejitev nesreč za uporabnike, ki naj jih upoštevajo načrtovalci, proizvajalci in dobavitelji napihljive igralne opreme. Določa informacije, ki jih je treba priložiti opremi. Zahteve so bile določene ob upoštevanju dejavnika tveganja na podlagi razpoložljivih podatkov.
Ta standard določa zahteve, ki bodo otroka zaščitile pred nevarnostmi, ki jih morda ne more predvideti med uporabo opreme v skladu z načrtovano uporabo ali na način, ki ga je mogoče razumno pričakovati.
Ta standard se ne uporablja za napihljivo vodno igralno opremo in opremo za prosti čas, domače napihljive igrače, napihljive stavbe, napihljive izdelke, ki se uporabljajo izključno za zaščito, napihljive izdelke, ki se uporabljajo za reševanje, ali druge vrste napihljivih igrač, ki niso namenjene predvsem skakanju ali drsenju.
