EN 71-8:2003 (E)74.1.4 Protruding partsProtruding parts such as bolt ends, threaded bolt ends and other protrusions shall be recessed or beprotected in such a way that they do not constitute a hazard to users of the equipment. This requirement isapplicable when protrusions are situated in places where the user is running, sliding, climbing, sitting, layingdown or on accessible moving parts.Protective caps shall comply with relevant requirements in EN 71-1, clause 4.9 (protruding parts).Spring washers, self-locking nuts, or other locking means shall be provided for all bolts.4.1.5 Climbing and swinging ropesRopes used for climbing and swinging shall have the following diameters:Ropes fixed at both ends diameter between 18 and 45 mmFree-hanging ropes fixed at upper end diameter between 25 and 45 mm4.2 Barriers, ladders etc (see A.3)4.2.1 Barriers and handrails preventing the child from falling downAny platform intended for sitting or standing 1000 mm or more from the ground shall be equipped with abarrier on all sides that face outwards from the toy.Openings in the barriers to give access to slides, climbing structures and ladders are allowed.The height of the barrier shall be 600 mm minimum.For barriers with an uneven top design, a ruler of 200 mm ± 5mm shall be used for measuring minimumheight. Place the ruler horizontally on top of the barrier. Measure the vertical distance between the platformand the bottom of the ruler. The distance shall in no place be less than 600 mm.NOTE Special requirements apply for slides (see 4.5.2 and 4.5.3).After testing according to 6.3 (dynamic strength of barriers and handrails), no part of the barrier or handrailshall collapse, so that the toy does not comply with the relevant requirements of EN 71.4.2.2 Means of access to toysThese requirements do not apply for toys with a platform height of 600 mm or less.Ladders and similar means of access to toys shall comply with the requirements in items a) to g).Additional requirements for slides are given in 4.5.4.a) Any opening shall comply with 4.3.1 (head and neck entrapment, probes C and D and test template D).b) The lateral width of the tread shall be 300 mm or more (see Figure 3).c) The distance between the treads shall be not more than 280 mm (see Figure 3).d) The surface of the tread shall not be slippery. This can be achieved by corrugation of the steps or by othertypes of materials.e) When ladders are provided with rungs, the diameter of the rungs shall be at least 16 mm but not morethan 45 mm.
EN 71-8:2003 (E)8f) The depth for treads on closed step ladders shall be 120 mm or more.g) The inclination for ladders that are fixed to the toy shall be between 55° and 90° to the horizontal.Dimensions in millimetresFigure 3 — Dimensions of ladders4.3 Entrapment (see A.4)4.3.1 Head and neck entrapmentActivity toys shall be constructed so that no openings create head and neck entrapment hazards either byhead first or feet first passage.NOTE Hazardous situations in which this type of entrapment can be encountered include the following:¾ completely bound openings through which a user can slide head first or feet first;¾ partially bound or V-shaped openings; and¾ shearing and moving openings.When choosing materials, the manufacturer shall take into account the entrapment hazards that can occurdue to distortion of material during use.a) Accessible completely bound openings with a lower edge of 600 mm or more above the ground, or aboveany other surface which is of such a size that it will support a child, shall, if they allow passage of probe C(see Figure 10), also allow passage of probe D (see Figure 11) when tested in accordance with 6.5.1(head and neck entrapment in completely bound openings).b) Accessible rigid circular openings with a lower edge of 600 mm or more above the ground, or above anyother surface which is of such a size that it will support a child shall not have an internal diameterbetween 130 mm and 230 mm.c) Accessible completely bound openings, when tested according to 6.5.1 shall have no parts that convergein the downward direction at an angle of less than 60° if the lower edge is 600 mm or more above theground (V-shaped opening).
EN 71-8:2003 (E)9d) Partially bound and V-shaped openings with a lower edge of 600 mm or more above the ground, or aboveany other surface which is of such a size that it will support a child, shall be constructed so that either:1) the opening is not accessible as defined in Figure 13 and when tested according to 6.5.2.3 a) (headand neck entrapment in partially bound and V-shaped openings), or2) the tip of the template contacts the base of the opening when tested according to 6.5.2.3 b) (headand neck entrapment in partially bound and V-shaped openings ).e) Non-rigid members (for example ropes) shall not overlap if by doing so they create openings that do notcomply with the requirements in a).f) Openings between flexible parts of suspended bridges and any rigid side members shall not be less than230 mm in diameter under the worst case condition of loading. Both loaded and unloaded situations shallbe considered.4.3.2 Entrapment of clothing and haira) Slides, fireman’s poles and roofs shall be constructed so that hazardous situations in which clothing orhair can be entrapped are not created. Such situations may be created by:1) gaps or V-shaped openings in which parts of clothing can become entrapped while or immediatelybefore the user is undergoing a forced movement;2) protrusions; and3) spindles/rotating parts.When tested according to 6.6 (toggle test), entrapment of the toggle or chain shall not occur.The toggle test, as given in 6.6, is restricted to the free space, as practical experience has shown that naturalmaterial and connections between different parts can vary over time.NOTE 1 When using elements of circular cross section, special consideration should be given to avoid clothing and hairentanglement. This can be achieved by using spacers or similar devices.b) Slides and fireman’s poles shall be constructed so that openings located within the free space do notentrap the toggle or chain when tested in accordance with 6.6 (toggle test).c) Roofs shall be constructed so that they do not entrap the toggle or chain when tested in accordance with6.6 (toggle test).d) Spindles and rotating parts shall have means of preventing entanglement of clothing or hair.NOTE 2 This can be achieved by use of suitable covering or shields.4.3.3 Entrapment of feetSurfaces intended for standing, running or walking shall not contain any gaps likely to cause foot or legentrapment. There shall be no gaps greater than 30 mm measured in one direction (see Figure 4).
