Introduction
This European Standard has been prepared in order to specify the general design criteria for spectator facilities
(permanent, movable, demountable and telescopic), with the purpose of enabling their functionality.
Within this European Standard minimum and recommended values for dimensions and loadings are occasionally
presented. It should be recognised that these values are to be considered as values that in part recognise different
national requirements as a basic provision.
Attention is drawn to the fact that in certain countries additional/different requirements may be applicable due to
existing national regulations or equivalent.
This European Standard is divided among six parts:
EN 13200-1, Spectator facilities - Part 1: Layout criteria for spectator viewing area - Specification
prCEN/TR 13200-2, Spectator facilities - Layout criteria of service area –Part 2: Characteristics and national situations
EN 13200-3, Spectator facilities - Part 3: Separating elements - Requirements
prEN 13200-4 Spectator facilities - Part 4: Seats - product characteristics
prEN 13200-5 Spectator facilities - Part 5: Telescopic stands
prEN 13200-6, Spectator facilities – Part 6: Demountable (temporary) stands
IMPORTANT NOTES
NOTE 1 The proposed values for barrier loadings contained in Tables A1, A2 and A3 may be justified from experimentally
determined values appropriate to the barrier provision.
NOTE 2 Separating elements for demountable and retractable stands are included within this European Standard.
NOTE 3 Safety management does not form part of this European Standard.

4 General requirements
4.1 Preliminary considerations
4.1.1 In the assessment of the need for a barrier and the type of barrier to be provided, the designer and ground
management shall consider the building use and the risks to building users.
Where, in a building more than one use is anticipated, either the barrier design shall be chosen to suit the worst case
or more than one type of barrier shall be provided as appropriate to the location.

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------

SIST EN 13200-3:2006
EN 13200-3:2005 (E)
Where there is a difference in level exceeding 500 mm consideration shall be given to the necessary provision of a
barrier to restrict or control the movement of spectators: however barriers may be required in certain circumstances
where the difference in levels is less than 500 mm.
4.1.2 Where walls, glazing or other elements of buildings or structures perform the functions of barriers, the
designer shall either:
a) ensure that these separating elements satisfy the criteria given in this standard, or
b) provide additional barriers designed in accordance with this standard.
4.1.3 The design of barrier adopted shall be such as to reduce the risk of persons falling, rolling, sliding or slipping
through gaps in the barrier to an acceptable level. Except in areas not likely to be used by children, barriers shall be
designed so that the widest gap in the barrier does not permit a sphere of diameter of 120 mm (maximum) to pass
through, making due allowance for deflection under load. The recommended diameter of the sphere is 100 mm.
Barriers shall be non climbable.
4.2 Barrier design and loading
Barriers shall be designed to resist safely the minimum horizontal imposed loads specified in Tables A.1, A.2 or A.3.
Regardless of the height of the barrier (4.4), the horizontal imposed load shall be considered to act at a height of 1,1
m above the datum, when applied as a static load at right angles to the longitudinal axis.
Designers shall ensure that any construction or structure acting as a support for barriers is of adequate strength and
stability to resist safely all applied loads, without excessive stress, deflection or distortion.
Where values are given for minimum and recommended levels of loading, the adoption of a value shall be
substantiated by documented risk assessment, taking into account the purpose and position of that barrier during its
lifecycle.
NOTE Recommended values suit all applications. In applying Table A.1 due accord should be given to National Regulation
regarding safety
4.3 Design procedures
For barriers limit state design procedures shall be used, according to the recommended procedure given in the
Eurocode appropriate for the material to be used, treating the loads given as characteristic loads, for limit state design.
When using limit state design, the partial safety factors for loads and materials shall be those recommended by the
appropriate material's code of practice. The strength of the barrier shall be designed as Ultimate Limit State and the
deflection as Serviceability Limit State.
4.4 Barrier heights
Barriers used in standing accommodation, seated accommodation and on stairways and ramps shall be designed to a
height of not less than 1,1 m, measured from the datum, unless they fall into one of the following two categories:
a) barriers within 530 mm in front of fixed seating can be a minimum height of 800 mm above the datum (see Figure
A.1).
NOTE 1 See E specified Figures 3 and 4 in EN 13200-1:2003.
In such cases consideration shall be given to the horizontal width of the barrier to prevent falling over, i.e. in certain
instances a lower height can be acceptable with a wide barrier (see Figure A.1).
b) barriers immediately behind a row of seats should be a minimum height of 1,1m above the datum, which in this case
is the level of the seat (Figure A.2).

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------

SIST EN 13200-3:2006
EN 13200-3:2005 (E)
In all cases, as stated in 4.2, regardless of the height, the horizontal imposed load shall still be considered to act at a
height of 1,1 m above the datum.
NOTE 2 Further guidance on the height of crush barriers is provided in 5.4.
4.5 Deflection
A barrier for the protection of people that is structurally safe shall not possess sufficient flexibility to alarm the building
users when subjected to normal service.
NOTE This recommendation is in addition to any recommendations for limiting deflection under full load given in the
appropriate structural codes for the material to be used, in which event the most onerous limit is to be applied.
4.6 Fixings
Care shall be taken to ensure that the strength of the fixing is adequate for the loading to which the barrier will be
subjected. All joints shall be designed to provide the full strength of the members being joined.
Wherever a single fixing or support is essential to prevent the collapse or failure of a barrier, or of a critical part of a
barrier, the design shall avoid reliance wholly on the pull-out strength of the fixing. Fixing design shall take particular
account of the material into which the fixing is placed, the spacing between fixings, the edge distance, and the position
of any reinforcement.
4.7 Safety details
The finished barrier shall have no sharp edges or projections that may cause injury to persons or damage to clothing
or other objects.
Infill panels and balusters are intended to provide support and protection to the user, and shall be designed to restrain
people without causing additional injury from sharp edges, thin sections, projecting details, etc. (see A.1).
4.8 Support from adjacent construction
Designers shall ensure that any construction or structure acting as support for barriers is of adequate strength and
stability to sustain all applied loads safely without excessive stress, deflection or distortion.
4.9 Maintenance
The design shall provide the safe maintenance of barriers. Consideration shall be given to the possibility of tampering
or vandalism.
4.10 Barriers and sightline considerations
All spectators viewing areas shall have a clear, unobstructed view of the whole activity area, as defined in EN 13200-1.
NOTE It is recognised that even barriers meeting the height requirements listed in 4.4 may obstruct sightlines.
5 Specific requirements
5.1 General
The requirements for design and loading for all barriers is given in Table A.1, A.2 and A.3. This section is additionally
concerned with barriers in the following locations:
