Aufblasbare Spielgeräte - Teil 4: Zusätzliche sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Bungeeruns

Dieses Dokument legt zusätzliche sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen an aufblasbare Bungeeruns fest und sollte in Verbindung mit Teil1 gelesen werden (siehe AnhangA).
Dieses Dokument ist für aufblasbare Spielgeräte anwendbar, die für die Benutzung durch Personen mit einer Mindestkörperhöhe von 1200mm und einer Höchstmasse von 120kg vorgesehen sind.
Dieses Dokument legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen für ein aufblasbares Spiel fest, bei dem die Haupt
aktivität darin besteht, horizontal gegen ein befestigtes Bungee-Elastikseil anzulaufen. Es legt Maßnahmen für die Handhabung von Gefahren und auch für die Begrenzung von Unfällen der Benutzer auf ein Mindestmaß fest, die von den mit der Konstruktion, Herstellung und Lieferung des aufblasbaren Spieles befassten Stellen zu beachten sind.
Es legt die mit dem Gerät mitzuliefernden Informationen fest. Die Anforderungen wurden unter Berücksichti
gung des Risikofaktors auf der Grundlage verfügbarer Daten festgelegt.
Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen fest, durch die die Benutzer vor Gefahren geschützt werden, die diese möglicherweise nicht vorhersehen könnten, wenn sie das Gerät bestimmungsgemäß oder wie vernünftiger
weise vorhersehbar benutzen.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für aufblasbare Spiel- und Freizeitgeräte zur Verwendung auf dem Wasser, aufblas
bares Spielzeug für den privaten Gebrauch, Tragluftbauten und die nur zum Schutz und zur Rettung
ten aufblasbaren Geräte oder andere Arten von aufblasbarem Spielzeug, bei dem die Hauptbetätigung nicht das horizontale Anlaufen gegen ein befestigtes Bungee-Elastikseil ist.
Um die Anwendung dieses Dokumentes nicht nur auf die Geräte zu beschränken, die derzeit in Gebrauch sind, und um Gestaltungsspielraum für die Herstellung neuer Geräte zuzulassen, werden in Abschnitt3 lediglich die grundlegenden Formen von Geräten und Bewegungen festgelegt.

Il spécifie les informations à fournir avec l’équipement. Ces exigences ont été établies en tenant compte du facteur de risque basé sur les données disponibles.
Le présent document spécifie les exigences permettant de protéger les utilisateurs contre les risques qu’ils peuvent ne pas être en capacité de prévoir lors de l’utilisation normale de l’équipement ou d’une manière qu’il est possible d’anticiper raisonnablement.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux équipements ludiques de loisirs gonflables flottants, aux jouets gonflables domestiques, aux constructions pneumatiques, aux structures gonflables utilisées uniquement pour la protection, aux équipements gonflables utilisés pour le sauvetage, ni à d’autres types de jouets gonflables dont l’activité première n’est pas de tirer horizontalement sur une corde élastique sécurisée.

Introduction
Play is a means by which people discover and understand the world in which they live and is an essential
element in a person’s physical and mental growth.
It is important for a person’s rounded development that, through play, they arrive at an understanding of
danger, which provides a basis for assessing safety in a variety of situations. The balance between
challenge and safety is an important consideration.
The inflatable game referred to in this document can provide different levels of challenge and excitement.
This document aims to minimize the level of risk and the possibility of serious injury while allowing
people to enjoy themselves when using inflatable equipment.
It is not the purpose of the requirements of this document to affect a person’s need to play nor to lessen
the contribution that inflatable play equipment makes either to the person’s development or meaningful
play from an educational point of view.
Where inflatable play equipment is combined with other items of play equipment, the relevant standards
for the other items of equipment should also be applied.

anticipated.
This document is not applicable to inflatable water- borne play and leisure equipment, domestic
inflatable toys, air-supported buildings, inflatables used solely for protection, inflatables used for rescue,
or other types of inflatable toys where the primary activity is not pulling horizontally against a secured
