This European Standard specifies requirements, including safety, for the equipment itself as well as for its in-stallation, inspection and maintenance. This European Standard is applicable to multi-sports equipment in-tended for individual and collective public use primarily by children and teenagers. This type of equipment is not intended for use by very young children, e.g. less than 36 months. This European Standard is not applicable to playground equipment as defined in EN 1176-1, free access fa-cilities used for roller sports equipment (see EN 14974), fitness trails, artificial climbing structures (see
!EN 12572-1, EN 12572-2 and EN 12572-3"). This European Standard does not deal with beach equipment, the ground surfaces the local environment and any feature outside the multi-sports equipment. This European Standard does not include any specific requirements other than for access and egress for dis-abled users. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

EN 15312:2007+A1:2010 (E) 6 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 free access multi-sports equipment equipment with which it is possible to practice one or more-sports where the access to the facilities is neither regulated nor necessarily supervised 3.2 goal defined opening or area which forms the target for ball games, usually comprising two uprights and one crossbar NOTE The net is optional. 3.3 basketball equipment equipment comprising the following components: one backboard-one ring; the supporting frame; stability de-vices NOTE The net is optional. 3.4 multi-sports surround element surrounding the area where ball games are played and which is designed to limit the motion of the user and/or the area of play NOTE A multi-sports surround is e.g. a fence or a ball rebound wall; ball games are e.g. hockey, football. 3.5 ball stop-screen flexible or rigid fence or screen for restricting a ball
from going in a specific direction NOTE It is important that the location of the area of play accounts for the risks of balls leaving it. If the area of play is located next to a road, a ball stop screen may minimize the risk of players having to recover the ball from the road. It is equally important that other activities (e.g. playground area, artificial climbing structure) are protected from ball impact. 4 General requirements 4.1 Materials Materials !shall" be selected and protected such that the structural integrity of the equipment manufac-tured from them is not affected before the next relevant maintenance inspection. NOTE The provisions relating to certain materials in this European Standard do not imply that other equivalent mate-rials are unsuitable in the manufacture of multi-sports equipment. The selection of materials and their use should be in accordance with the appropriate European Standards where applicable. Particular care should be taken in the choice of materials where equipment is to be used in extreme climatic or atmospheric conditions. Where very low or very high temperatures can be anticipated care should be taken with material selection to avoid possible hazards through direct skin contact. !In the choice of a material or substance for equipment, consideration should be given to the eventual dis-posal of the material or substance having regard to any possible environmental toxic hazard."

EN 15312:2007+A1:2010 (E) 7 !NOTE Information on the identification and classification of such substances can be found in the Direc-tive 67/548/EEC (classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances) [10] as well as in the Regulation (EC) no.1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evalua-tion, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) [11]." 4.2 Structural integrity Structural integrity of the equipment, including stability, shall be assessed by one of the following unless oth-erwise stated in Clause 5: a) calculation, carried out in accordance with Annexes A and B, b) physical testing, in accordance with Annex C, or c) a combination selected from either a) or b). When calculations are carried out in accordance with Annex B, no limit states shall be exceeded at combina-tions of loads as given in B.2. When tested in accordance with Annex C, the equipment shall not show any cracks, damage or excessive permanent deformation. For some equipment, these specific calculations or tests are not always appropriate, but the structural integrity shall be at least equivalent. For a family of products, the structural integrity for the worst case of the intended combinations shall be proved. Each structure shall resist both the permanent and variable loads acting on equipment and parts of equipment as described in Annex C. NOTE 1 No allowance for accidental loads, i.e. loads produced by fire, collision by vehicles or earthquake, need to-be made for multi-sports equipment. NOTE 2 The loads associated with fatigue are in general much smaller than the loads in combination with the appro-priate load factors when calculated according to B.2. Therefore, the equipment does not need to be verified for fatigue, in general. Structural parts shall resist the worst case loading condition. NOTE 3 In order to achieve this, it can be necessary to remove that part of the user load causing favourable effects, as shown in Figure 1. SIST EN 15312:2007+A1:2010

The surface finish of equip-ment made of other materials (e.g. glass fibre) shall be non-splintering. Rough surfaces should not present any risk of injury. There shall be no protruding nails, projecting wire, rope terminations or pointed or hard and sharp-edged parts within any accessible part of the equipment. Corners, edges and projecting parts within any accessible part of the equipment that project more than 8 mm, and which are not shielded by adjacent areas that are not more than 25 mm from the end of the projecting part, shall be rounded off. The minimum radius of the curve shall be 3 mm. Protruding bolt threads within any accessible part of the equipment shall be permanently covered, e.g. dome-headed nuts. Nuts and bolt heads that project less than 8 mm shall be free from burrs. All welds shall be ground smooth. NOTE Figure 2 shows examples of protection for nuts and bolts. Dimensions in millimetres

Hazardous situations in which this type of entrapment can be encountered include the following: a) completely bound openings through which a user may slide feet first or head first, b) partially bound or V-shaped openings and c) other openings (e.g. shearing or moving openings). 4.4.2.1.2 Completely bound openings Accessible completely bound openings with a lower edge more than 600 mm above ground shall be tested in accordance with D.3.1 Small probes n°1 and n°2 shall not pass through any opening unless it also allows the passage of large probe n°3. Non-rigid parts (e.g. ropes) shall not overlap if this creates apertures that are not in accordance with the above. 4.4.2.1.3 Partially bound and V-shaped openings Partially bound and V-shaped openings with an entrance at 600 mm or more above the ground shall be con-structed so that either: a) the opening is not accessible when tested in accordance with D.3.2, or b) if accessible at a position of 600 mm or more above ground when tested in accordance with D.3.2, depending on the angular orientation range of the opening (see Figure D6a), shall comply with the following: Range 1: (template centre line ± 45° from vertical); the template apex contacts the base of the opening and the depth of the opening is less than the length of the template to the underside of the shoulder sec-tion. !Range 2: (template centre line from horizontal to + 45°); when the template apex contacts the base of the opening, the depth of the opening shall be less than the ‘A’ portion of the template. If the depth of the opening is greater than the ‘A’ portion of the template all parts of the opening above the ‘A’ portion shall also allow insertion of the shoulder section of the template or probe n°3."
