Gokarti za prosti čas - 1. del: Varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode za gokarte
Ta evropski standard se uporablja za gokarte v skladu s točko 3.1, ki niso namenjeni uporabi na javnih cestah.
Ta evropski standard se uporablja:
– samo za gokarte za prosti čas;
– za gokarte, ki jih poganja motor z notranjim zgorevanjem, vključno z motorji z zgorevanjem, ki jih poganja utekočinjeni naftni plin;
– za gokarte, ki se uporabljajo na notranjih in zunanjih progah, stalno ali začasno;
– za gokarte, ki se uporabljajo na nadzorovanih progah, namenjenih vožnji z gokarti za prosti čas, z zatesnjeno površino (kot je asfalt, beton, led ali sneg).
Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za:
– gokarte, ki se uporabljajo za tekmovanja, ki jih organizirata CIK-FIA in/ali ASN ter sta za njih odgovorna, pri čemer se prek podeljevanja licenc, ki ga izvaja ASN ali eden od njegovih pridruženih članov, kot je opredeljeno v Mednarodnem športnem pravilniku, zagotovi skladnost z varnostnimi, športnimi, disciplinskimi in tehničnimi pravili CIAK-FIA in/ali ASN;
– gokarte, zasnovane izključno za tekmovanje in kot igrača;
– terenske gokarte;
– gokarte z dvema sedežema ali več;

Zahteve, povezane z nevarnostmi električnega pogona, niso obravnavane v tem evropskem standardu.
Zahteve, povezane z vibriranjem celotnega telesa, niso obravnavane v tem evropskem standardu.
Ta evropski standard določa ustrezne ukrepe za odpravo ali zmanjšanje tveganj, ki izhajajo iz pomembnih nevarnosti, nevarnih razmer in dogodkov (glej točko 6) med delovanjem in vzdrževanjem gokartov, kadar se ti izvajajo v skladu z namenom proizvajalca.
Varnost pri vožnji z gokarti je odvisna od pravilnega medsebojnega vplivanja med gokarti za prosti čas ter opremo in funkcijami proge. Splošna priporočila za proge, ki se uporabljajo za vožnjo z gokarti za prosti čas, so vključeni v ta del standarda.
Ta dokument se ne uporablja za gokarte, izdelane pred datumom izdaje tega evropskega standarda s strani CEN.
OPOMBA: Posebne zahteve za zasnovo in delovanje prog bodo vključene v prihodnji 2. del tega standarda.

The tool shall be applied until the vertical component of the tool (1) makes contact with the outermost point of the all-around protection before adjusting the two measuring arms (3) and (2) until they make contact with the protection; the values of a, b and c shall be determined with the two measuring arms (3) and (2) in these positions in accordance with Figure 3.

For tubular system, the upper and lower tubes shall correspond respectively. The vertical distance between the centre lines of the tubes in contact shall not exceed ± 7 mm. Additional tubes to protect an air box as part of all around protection is permitted. 7.4.1.4 Additional requirements for plastic all-around protection In addition to the requirements of 7.4.1.1 and 7.4.1.2, the contact surfaces of plastic all-around protection systems, regardless of the direction of contact between two karts of the same type, shall correspond over a minimum vertical distance of 65 mm, the kart being on a level surface with no steering input. As a minimum, this requirement shall be verified by measurement at the 12 positions on the all-around protection indicated at Figure 4 for each of the two karts of the same type. NOTE The checking of the correspondence of the contact areas at the combinations arising from the 12 measurement positions on each kart involves the consideration of 144 combinations of contact between the two karts. For example, Figure 4 illustrates 1 of the 144 combinations where position 11 of kart A contacts position 2 of kart B.

Energy absorption systems shall be able to maintain their absorption properties under repeated low speed impacts. In order to verify that absorption properties are adequate and maintained after recurring impacts, the crash test according to Annex B shall be repeated four times for each direction of impact. The resultant acceleration measured on the kart shall not exceed the following upper limits for all the impact events. a) For Kart type A2, B, C1: 1) Frontal crash maximum acceleration allowed: 15 g 2) Left and right side crash maximum acceleration allowed: 15 g 3) Rear crash maximum acceleration allowed: 20 g b) For Kart type C2: 1) Frontal crash maximum acceleration allowed: 15 g 2) Left and right side crash maximum acceleration allowed: 20 g 3) Rear crash maximum acceleration allowed: 20 g The result of the first crash test and the fourth crash test and the state of compliance shall be recorded for every direction of impact. There shall be no fractures in the elements constituting the kart protection system. SIST EN 16230-1:2014+A1:2015
EN 16230-1:2013+A1:2014 (E) 17 7.4.2 Seat Karts shall be designed to accommodate the range of intended drivers in accordance with Table 1. This may be achieved by supplying inserts to modify the size and shape of the seat. The dimensions of the seat, if appropriate with a suitable insert fitted, shall provide a distance between the top of the seat and the position of the bottom of the driver's neck in accordance with the following: a) Kart Type A1: 100 mm ± 25 mm, b) Kart Type A2: 100 mm ± 25 mm, c) Kart Type B, C1 and C2: 1) driver height 1 500 mm to 1 750 mm: 150 mm ± 35 mm, 2) driver height 1 750 mm to 1 950 mm: 200 mm ± 35 mm This standard only covers low backed seats where the seat back is sufficiently below the driver's neck to allow flexibility of the spine. Higher backed seats that provide support for the head are permitted but the kart manufacturer is responsible for their specification. 7.4.3 Brake system performance 7.4.3.1 General Karts shall be equipped with a brake system the function of which is to effectively reduce the speed of the kart when driving in order to minimise the following risks: — risk of contacts between karts moving at different speeds; — risk of impacting the track protections at high speeds; — risk of losing control of the kart speed in general. 7.4.3.2 Karts type A1 and A2 When tested in accordance with the static test described in C.1 the brakes of types A1 and A2 karts shall resist, without any turning of the brake tester, a braking torque of at least 100 Nm with a foot control force of 300 N applied. 7.4.3.3 Karts type B, C1 and C2 When tested in accordance with the dynamic test described in C.2.6 (dry stop test) karts of types B, C1 and C2 shall reach a mean fully developed deceleration (MFDD) of at least 3 m/s². When tested in accordance with the dynamic test described in C.2
