Spectator facilities - Part 4: Seats - Product characteristics
This European Standard specifies the mechanical, physical and chemical product characteristics of fixed seating used in sports venues (indoor and outdoor) in the spectator viewing area (S.V.A.). It also specifies the criteria for fixing the seating to the structure.
These characteristics and criteria are determined in order to assure an adequate resistance to static and dynamic stresses and to atmospheric agents. This European Standard specifies comfort, functionality and safety requirements to prevent serious injury through normal functional use, as well as misuse that might reasonably be excepted to occur. This European Standard does not include any fire behaviour or resistance requirements.
Zuschaueranlagen - Teil 4: Sitze - Produktmerkmale
Dieser europäische Norm-Entwurf legt die mechanischen, physikalischen und chemischen Produktmerkmale
von ortsfest montierten Sitzen im Zuschauerbereich von Sport- und Mehrzweckanlagen (in Innenräumen und
im Freien) fest. Außerdem werden die Kriterien für die Befestigung des Gestühls am Baukörper festgelegt.
Diese Merkmale und Kriterien werden bestimmt, um eine angemessene Beständigkeit gegenüber statischer
und dynamischer Belastung sowie gegenüber witterungsbedingter und luftchemischer Beanspruchung
sicherzustellen. Die Norm legt die Anforderungen an Komfort, Funktionalität und Sicherheit fest, um
ernsthaften Verletzungen sowohl bei üblichen Gebrauch als auch bei Missbrauch vorzubeugen und letzteren
weitestgehend auszuschließen. In dieser Norm sind keine Anforderungen in Bezug auf Brandverhalten und
Beständigkeit enthalten.
Installations pour spectateurs - Partie 4: Sièges - Caractéristiques des produits
Norme Européenne spécifie les caractéristiques mécaniques, physiques et chimiques des sièges fixes utilisés
lors de manifestations sportives (à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur), dans l’espace d’observation des spectateurs.
Elle spécifie également les critères de fixation des sièges à la structure.
Ces caractéristiques et critères sont déterminés dans le but d’assurer une résistance adéquate aux
contraintes statiques et dynamiques ainsi qu’aux agents atmosphériques. La présente Norme Européenne
spécifie des exigences concernant le confort, la fonctionnalité et la sécurité pour prévenir toute blessure grave
pouvant résulter d’une utilisation fonctionnelle normale ainsi que d’un mauvais usage raisonnablement
prévisible. La présente Norme Européenne ne comprend aucune exigence relative au comportement au feu
des sièges.
