4.1.1 General Structural integrity, including stability, of the equipment shall be assessed by one of the following: a) calculation, carried out in accordance with Annex A and Annex B; b) physical testing, in accordance with Annex C; or c) a combination of a) and b). When calculations are carried out in accordance with Annex B, no limit states shall be exceeded at combinations of loads as given in B.2. When tested in accordance with Annex C, the equipment shall not show any cracks or damage. Deformation shall remain within the elastic field. In some cases, these specific calculations or tests are not appropriate but the structural integrity shall be at least equivalent. Each structure shall resist both the permanent and variable loads acting on equipment and parts of equipment as described in Annex C. No allowance for accidental loads, i.e. loads produced by fire, collision by vehicles or earthquake has to be made for swimming pool equipment. The loads associated with fatigue are much smaller than the loads in combination with the appropriate load factors when calculated according to B.2. Therefore, swimming pool equipment need not be verified for fatigue. Structural parts shall resist the worst case loading condition. If a piece of equipment is made by components, it has to be constructed in such a way that every component is secured in its working position. 4.1.2 Materials 4.1.2.1 General Any material may be used provided it is fit for purpose, also considering the particular characteristics of the swimming pool environment (e.g. oxidizing atmosphere, humidity, ageing). SIST EN 13451-1:2011



EN 13451-1:2011 (E) 9 Where stainless steel is used, see 4.1.2.2, and where plastic material is used, see 4.1.2.3. Risk assessment should be developed according to EN ISO 12100. 4.1.2.2 Use of stainless steel As stress corrosion cracking may affect stainless steel in the swimming pool atmosphere, wherever the use of stainless steel is considered a design risk assessment shall be carried out. For the selection and use of stainless steel with safety critical load bearing function in the swimming pool atmosphere, see Annex G. 4.1.2.3 Use of plastic Wherever the risk assessment identifies possible hazards for users in case of progressive degradation of plastic components, appropriate actions shall be taken (e.g. stating a maximum life span, necessity of periodical inspection). Wherever the design risk assessment identifies the possibility of fracture or failure due to degradation, the component shall be subject to continuing risk assessment. NOTE For a possible ageing test see NF T 54-405-1. 4.2 Minimum space The manufacturer/supplier shall indicate the minimum space needed for the installation, operation and use of their equipment. 4.3 Handrails, barriers, safety barriers 4.3.1 Handrails Handrails for general use shall be not less than 800 mm and not more than 1 100 mm above the foot position. Handrails designed for children only shall be not less than 600 mm and not more than 850 mm above the foot position.
4.3.2 Barriers The design of the barriers shall not encourage the users to stand or sit on them and shall prevent climbing. Barriers may be in form of gratings, full faced panels or walls. NOTE The design should consider the visual needs connected with the use of the facility. 4.3.3 Safety barriers Safety barriers shall be used to prevent users from falling from heights > 600 mm, except in situations where a risk assessment shows that a safety barrier is not necessary.
Gaps shall have a width ≤ 110 mm and where two or more safety barriers are used in combination (e.g. ladder, stair and platform) the safety barrier shall be designed to give continuous protection. Safety barriers shall have a height ≥ 1 000 mm, measured from the highest point on which a person can stand within 1 000 mm from the barriers themselves, see Figure 3. SIST EN 13451-1:2011

EN 13451-1:2011 (E) 13 4.7 Entrapment, crushing and shearing points 4.7.1 General Entrapment, crushing and shearing hazards shall be identified and considered in the risk assessment. Equipment shall be constructed so that any openings do not create an entrapment hazard or, in the case of moving equipment, a crushing or shearing hazard. 4.7.2 Permissible openings 4.7.2.1 Principle Any user accessible openings shall be restricted to the following range of opening or gap size dimensions; 0 mm to 8 mm, 25 mm to 110 mm and 230 mm or more, unless specifically permitted in other clauses/annexes of this European Standard and/or parts of this standard series. The permissible opening or gap size dimensions apply where the length of the opening exceeds the width. 4.7.2.2 Finger and toe entrapment Where there is a risk of finger or toe entrapment, the permissible opening shall be ≤ 8mm and the test in D.2 and D.3 shall be applied. If probe C does not pass through the opening compliance is achieved. If probe C passes through the opening, probe D shall also pass. 4.7.2.3 Foot and hand entrapment Where there is a risk of foot or hand entrapment the permissible opening shall be ≥ 25 mm and ≤ 110 mm and the test in D.1 and D.3 shall be applied. If probe D passes through the opening, probe A shall not pass. 4.7.2.4 Head or neck entrapment Where there is a risk of head or neck entrapment the permissible opening shall be ≤ 110 mm or ≥ 230 mm and the test in D.1 shall be applied. If probe A passes through the opening with a clearance ≤ 1 mm compliance is achieved. If probe A passes through the opening with a clearance ≥ 1 mm, probe B shall also pass. Where an opening is ≥ 230 mm it should not permit passage to further entrapment hazards or danger. Where there is a combination of risks, the lesser of the permitted opening sizes shall be used. 4.7.3 Protections and grids Where openings are protected or dimensionally restricted (e.g. by cover plates or grids) such devices shall not be removable without the use of tools or tamper proof techniques. 4.7.4 Moving parts Equipment shall be constructed so that there are no crushing or shearing hazards between moving parts and/or fixed parts. Where opening sizes change during use due to movement, the permissible opening sizes stated in 4.7.2 shall apply. SIST EN 13451-1:2011



EN 13451-1:2011 (E) 14 4.7.5 Slits Slits creating an entrapment hazard (e.g. nails, hair) shall be:  avoided by design;  eliminated by technical means (e.g. elastic gaskets) when generated by the installation of the equipment. 4.7.6 Entrapment of hair Hair entrapment shall be avoided. Particular attention shall be paid to the elimination of slits, especially around suction outlets, where the effect of suction may increase the risk, wherever a complete elimination is technically not possible, the remaining entrapment points shall be protected.
