4 General requirements
4.1 Exemptions from certain requirements in EN 71-1 (see A.2)
The requirements in EN 71-1 are applicable to trampolines for domestic use with exemptions for the
requirements under the following headings in EN 71-1:
— edges (EN 71-1:2014, 4.7);
— sharp points (EN 71-1:2014, 4.8);
— protruding parts (EN 71-1:2014, 4.9);
— toys which a child can enter (EN 71-1:2014, 4.14.1).
The above mentioned requirements from EN 71-1 are not exempted for trampolines intended for
children under 36 months.
NOTE This European standard specifies specific requirements for edges, sharp points and protruding parts
for trampolines for domestic use which is why the corresponding requirements of EN 71–1 do not apply to
trampolines (for children of 36 months and over).

4.2 Trampoline categories
Trampolines shall be classified by the size, height and maximum user weight according to Table 1.
Table 1 — Trampoline size, height and maximum user weight requirements
Mini Medium Large
Frame size < 1 500 ≥ 1 500 < 2 500 ≥ 2 500
in mm
Frame height < 350 ≥ 350 ≥ 350
in mm
Maximum user weight 25 50 Manufacturer defined
in kg
The frame size for a circular trampoline is equal to the diameter (see Figure 3) while for non-circular
trampolines it is equal to the maximum distance between two opposite points of the outside of the
frame (e.g. the largest diagonal in the case of a rectangular trampoline).
If at least one of the measurements in Table 1 is exceeded, the trampoline shall be classified in the
closest higher category.
4.3 General requirements for the trampoline construction (see A.3)
4.3.1 Requirements for mini-trampolines (see 4.2)
Mini-trampolines intended for indoor use shall be provided with anti-slip feet. Such trampolines shall
not slip when tested according to EN 13219:2008, 5.2.
Mini-trampolines may be equipped with handrails to assist the balance of the user. Mini-trampolines
may be equipped with an enclosure. If mini-trampolines are equipped with handrails they shall not be
equipped with an enclosure.
NOTE See 4.3.3.2 for requirements on enclosures.
4.3.2 Requirements for medium and large trampolines (see 4.2)
Medium and large trampolines shall be equipped with an enclosure but shall not be equipped with a
handrail.
NOTE See 4.3.3.2 for requirements on enclosures.
4.3.3 Requirements for all trampoline categories
4.3.3.1 General requirements
The construction of the trampoline shall ensure that during play (or movement of the trampoline) the
assembled joints cannot become dislodged.
NOTE This requirement can be fulfilled by the use of pit pins or bolts.
After being tested according to 6.4 (testing of the assembly), the legs and the frame shall remain in their
initial connection position without apparent movement.
The assembled joints of the trampoline and enclosure, if any, shall stay connected when tested according
to 6.1.2 (enclosure and poles impact strength test).

4.3.3.2 Enclosures
The opening of the enclosure shall also allow access for an adult.
Any enclosure shall allow supervision of the child during play on any point of the periphery of the
trampoline.
Access under the trampoline shall be free and the zone between the mat and ground shall not be
enclosed. No barrier shall be mounted around the trampoline frame.
It shall be possible to open the opening in the enclosure from the inside and from the outside
independently. The opening for access through any enclosure shall be easy to distinguish from the rest
of the enclosure.
NOTE 1 EN 71–1:2014, A.33 contains Good practices for visibility and legibility for warnings. Some of the
recommendations given in this annex could also be applied for distinguishing the opening for access from the rest
of the enclosure.
If buckles are used for the opening, the opening force needed for opening each (single) buckle shall be
50 N or less.
If a zip is used for the opening, the opening-direction the zip shall be from bottom to top.
The slider of any zip or any other means of opening shall be of a colour which contrasts with the colour
of the teeth and ribbons of the zip, unless a conspicuous handle of a different colour is attached to the
slider.
NOTE 2 This requirement can be fulfilled by having a double-tagged slider on a zip-fastener.
The height of the enclosure shall be:
— at least 1,5 m for trampolines with a frame size of less than 2,5 m;
— at least 1,8 m for trampolines with a frame size of 2,5 m or more.
When tested according to 6.4 (testing of the assembly), no element supporting the enclosure (e.g. poles,
liaison tubes, caps) shall dismantle.
4.4 Durability of materials (see A.4)
4.4.1 Metallic parts
This requirement does not apply to mini-trampolines (see 4.2 (trampoline categories)), if designed for
indoor use only, and not to stainless metals (aluminium alloy or copper or stainless steel).
When tested in accordance with 6.5.1 (durability test, metallic parts), all structural metallic parts as
well as metal fasteners and fixing mechanisms, coated or non-coated, shall present less than 1/10:th of
red-rusted surface area. White rust is accepted.
4.4.2 Non metallic parts
Before and after being tested according to 6.5.2 (durability test, non metallic parts), the outermost
material of the padding system for the frame and the material of the enclosure shall have a ‘maximum
force’ (as defined in EN ISO 13934-1) of at least 150 N. Before and after being tested according to 6.5.2
(durability test, non metallic parts), the mat shall all retain at least 80 % of their maximum force (as
defined in EN ISO 13934-1). The requirement applies to two sets of test specimens (one in the warp and
one in the weft direction) as specified in EN ISO 13934-1.

4.5 Entrapment (see A.5)
4.5.1 Finger entrapment
This requirement applies to any rigid openings accessible during bouncing.
Accessible holes, slots and gaps in any rigid material that are within the reach of a child during use of
the toy when the body of the child is in a forced movement, shall not allow a 7 mm diameter rod to be
inserted to a depth of 10 mm or more, unless a 12 mm diameter rod can also be inserted.
If a trampoline is intended for children under 36 months, the accessible holes, slots or gaps in any rigid
material that are within the reach of a child during use of the toy when the body of the child is in a
forced movement, shall not allow a 5 mm diameter rod to be inserted to a depth of 10 mm or more
unless a 12 mm diameter rod can also be inserted.
