Climbing/bouldering walls for use in the water area of swimming pools of public use - Safety and operational requirements
This document specifies safety requirements for climbing/bouldering walls, which are vertical and/or
overhanging towards the water area, for use in the water area of swimming pools for public use in
addition to the general safety requirements of EN 13451-1. It is therefore advised to read this document
in conjunction with EN 13451-1. Requirements for the use, the operation and the maintenance are also
specified.
This standard is applicable to climbing/bouldering walls in classified swimming pools as specified in
EN 15288-1.
This standard is not applicable to climbing/bouldering walls in swimming pools for domestic use.
This standard has limited application to water areas which consist of segregated areas of rivers, lakes or
the sea. It is advised to follow the design, working methods and operational requirements insofar as
they are relevant. This standard is not applicable to artificial climbing structures according to
EN 12572 (all parts) and to inflatable climbing/bouldering walls according to EN ISO 25649-6.
In the aspects which overlap with EN 13451-10 the requirements of this EN standard take precedence
over the EN 13451-10.
NOTE In this standard, "climbing" and "bouldering" are used synonymously.
Kletter-/Boulderwände für den Einsatz im Wasserbereich von öffentlich genutzten Schwimmbädern - Sicherheitstechnische und betriebliche Anforderungen
Dieses Dokument legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen an Kletterwände für den Einsatz im Wasser-bereich von öffentlich genutzten Schwimmbädern zusätzlich zu den allgemeinen sicherheitstechnischen An-forderungen nach EN 13451-1 fest und sollte in Verbindung mit dieser gelesen werden. Ebenfalls festgelegt werden Anforderungen für den Gebrauch, den Betrieb und die Wartung.
Diese Norm gilt für Kletterwände in klassifizierten Schwimmbädern nach den Festlegungen in EN 15288-1.
Diese Norm ist nur begrenzt auf Schwimmbäder anwendbar, die aus abgetrennten Bereichen von Flüssen, Seen oder dem Meer bestehen. Die Empfehlungen bezüglich der sicheren Ausführung, des sicheren Betriebs und der Aufsicht sollten jedoch, soweit zutreffend, befolgt werden. Die Norm gilt nicht für künstliche Kletteranlagen nach EN 12572 und aufblasbare Kletterwände nach EN 15649-6.
Bei Aspekten, die sich mit EN 13451-10 überschneiden, haben die Anforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm Vorrang vor EN 13451-10.
Murs et blocs d’escalade destinés aux bassins des piscines à usage public - Exigences de sécurité et d’exploitation
Le présent document spécifie les exigences de sécurité relatives aux murs d’escalade destinés aux bassins des piscines à usage public qui viennent compléter les exigences générales de sécurité de l’EN 13451-1 et il convient de le lire conjointement avec cette dernière. Des exigences relatives à l’utilisation, à l’exploitation et à la maintenance sont également spécifiées.
La présente norme s’applique aux murs d’escalade dans les piscines classifiées comme spécifié dans l’EN 15288-1.
La présente norme ne s’applique que de manière restreinte aux bassins constitués de zones délimitées de cours d’eau, de lacs ou de mers. Il convient que les recommandations relatives à la conception, aux méthodes de travail et à la surveillance en toute sécurité soient appliquées lorsqu’elles sont pertinentes. La présente norme ne s’applique pas aux structures artificielles d’escalade conformes à l’EN 12572 ni aux murs d’escalade gonflables conformes à l’EN 15649-6.
En ce qui concerne les aspects qui se chevauchent avec l’EN 13451-10, les exigences de la présente EN prévalent sur celles de l’EN 13451-10.
Plezalne/balvanske stene za uporabo na vodnih površinah javnih plavalnih bazenov - Zahteve za varnost in obratovanje
Ta dokument določa varnostne zahteve za plezalne/balvanske stene, ki so navpične in/ali previsne na površino vode in se poleg splošnih varnostnih zahtev standarda EN 13451-1 uporabljajo na vodnih površinah javnih plavalnih bazenov. Dokument je torej priporočljivo uporabljati v povezavi s standardom EN 13451-1. Določene so tudi zahteve za uporabo, obratovanje in vzdrževanje.
Ta standard se uporablja za plezalne/balvanske stene v klasificiranih plavalnih bazenih, kot to določa standard EN 15288-1.
Ta standard se ne uporablja za plezalne/balvanske stene v plavalnih bazenih za domačo uporabo.
Ta standard se samo delno uporablja za vodne površine, zgrajene na ločenih območjih rek, jezer ali morja. Priporočljivo je upoštevati projekte, metode dela in zahteve glede obratovanja, če je to ustrezno. Ta standard se ne uporablja za umetne plezalne konstrukcije v skladu s standardom EN 12572 (vsi deli) in za napihljive plezalne/balvanske stene v skladu s standardom EN ISO 25649-6.
Zahteve iz tega standarda EN, ki se prekrivajo z zahtevami standarda EN 13451-10, imajo prednost pred zahtevami standarda EN 13451-10.
OPOMBA: V tem standardu se »plezanje«« in »balvansko plezanje« uporabljata kot sopomenki.

EN 17164:2018 (E) 3 European foreword This document (EN 17164:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 136 “Sports, playground and other recreational facilities and equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2019, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2019. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. SIST EN 17164:2019
EN 17164:2018 (E) 4 Introduction Climbing/bouldering walls for use in the water area are artificial climbing structures which enable climbing above water without rope safeguarding. The climbing process is terminated either by an accidental fall into the water or by an intentional jump or intentional dropping into the water. When specifying the water depths, it is assumed that no more height can be gained from a fall - as opposed to a jump from a diving board - and the splashdown feature is normally a different one. The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance with CEN-CENELEC Guide 8:2015 may involve the use of a patent concerning climbing/bouldering walls given in Clause 4. CEN/CENELEC take no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of this patent right. The holder of this patent right has ensured CEN/CENELEC that he is willing to negotiate licences under reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the world. In this respect, the statement of the holder of this patent right is registered with CEN/CENELEC. Information may be obtained from: Christofer Born Bleichstraße 10 A 90429 Nuremberg Germany Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights other than those identified above. CEN/CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The market for climbing/bouldering walls for use in the water area of public used swimming pools is specific and still developing. It is impossible to define an all-embracing safety specification, including all dimensions and design requirements as required by a standard, without limiting the design possibilities and preventing innovative and new, but safe products. This standard is intended to establish safety requirements and design guidance rules to serve anyone involved with climbing/bouldering walls for use in the water area of public used swimming pools, especially designers, manufacturers, operators and users, to ensure largely safe products. Its basic approach is the consciousness that the use of climbing/bouldering walls usually implies for the users a higher risk level than swimming. Consequently, the use of a climbing/bouldering wall requires a certain degree of self-responsibility in terms of sports equipment. These safety requirements should be taken into consideration and be fulfilled in order to avoid danger to users as much as possible. SIST EN 17164:2019
