EN 1069-1:2017 (E) 6 Introduction The market for water slides is extremely wide and specific and still developing. It is impossible to define an all-embracing safety specification, including dimensions and design requirements as required by a standard, without limiting the design possibilities and preventing innovative and new but safe products. This European Standard is intended to establish safety requirements and design guidance rules to serve anyone involved with water slides, especially designers, manufacturers, operators and users, to ensure safe and more efficient products. Its basic approach is the consciousness that the sliding action usually implies for the users a higher risk level than using a pool. For certain aspects of design, manufacturing, installation, operation and use only specific guidelines, without any technical specification, are given, which should be taken into consideration and be fulfilled in order to ensure safety for operators and users. SIST EN 1069-1:2017

This Standard specifies general safety requirements for water slides in swimming pools of public use and specific requirements for defined types of water slides. These specific safety requirements are also applicable to undefined types as far as possible. These requirements concern safety and the technical rules for design, calculation and testing. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
