EN 1176-2:2017 (E) 4 European foreword This document (EN 1176-2:2017) 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2018, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2018. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 1176-2:2008. The main changes are: a) amended definition of a swing; b) additional figure for an example of a swing with one rotational axis (see Figure 1); c) new figure on ground clearance (see Figure 7); d) new definition and requirements for group swing seats; e) improved recommendations for fences around swings; f) revised figure for free height of fall and surfacing requirements beneath a swing (see Figure 10); g) harmonization of B.4 and B.5 with the measuring device from the EN 1176 series. This document is part of a series of standards dealing with playground equipment and surfacing which consists of: — Part 1: General safety requirements and test methods; — Part 2: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for swings; — Part 3: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for slides; — Part 4: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for cableways; — Part 5: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for carousels; — Part 6: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for rocking equipment; — Part 7: Guidance on installation, inspection, maintenance and operation; — Part 10: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for fully enclosed play equipment; — Part 11: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for spatial network.

EN 1176-2:2017 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies additional safety requirements for swings intended for permanent installation for use by children. Where the main play function is not swinging, the relevant requirements in this part of EN 1176 may be used, as appropriate. NOTE Recommendations on the design and siting of swings are given in Annex A. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

NOTE In order not to confine the application of this European Standard to those items of equipment currently in use and to allow freedom of design for the manufacture of new equipment, only the fundamental forms of equipment and motion are defined. 3.1 swing moving equipment where the weight of the user is supported below a pivot or universal joint, where the pivot or universal joint is more than 1,3 m above the ground 3.2 swing with one rotational axis (Type 1) seat that is flexibly suspended individually from a load bearing cross beam that can swing to and fro in an arc at right angles to the cross beam Note 1 to entry: See Figure 1.

For group swing seats, the minimum ground clearance at rest position shall be 400 mm. For group swing seats with a flexible lower part the ground clearance shall be a minimum of 400 mm measured from the underside of the rigid part of the seat in its most onerous position (see Figure 7).

EN 1176-2:2017 (E) 11 In the case of contact swings with vertical tyres as seats (see Figure 12), the ground clearance may be reduced to 100 mm minimum. NOTE The minimum ground clearance is lower for contact swings with vertical tyres because their construction is flexible; if an impact occurs the tyre is deflected and the impact is reduced. Also, the tyre is made from impact attenuating material.
Key 1 rigid part 2 flexible part h4 ground clearance Figure 7 — Ground Clearance 4.3 Seat clearance for single point swing (Type 3) The seat clearance (see Figure 6) shall be at least 400 mm except in the direction of the beam on which the suspension is fixed. If during use, the side of the swing seat can come into contact with the swing frame, then protective material may be fitted to the frame at this point to protect the beam and the seat. NOTE The design of Type 3 swings permits a deviation from the free space requirement in EN 1176–1 because the hazard of colliding with the beam is readily foreseeable and the benefit to children of playing on swings o
