Varnost igrač - 8. del: Igrače za prostočasne aktivnosti za domačo uporabo

Ta evropski standard določa zahteve in metode preskušanja za igrače za prostočasne aktivnosti, ki so pogosto vezane ali vključujejo prečnik, ter podobne igrače, namenjene otrokom pod 14 leti, na ali v katerih se igrajo in ki pogosto nosijo težo enega ali več otrok. Ta evropski standard določa tudi zahteve za: –    pripomočke in komponente igrač za prostočasne aktivnosti, ki se prodajajo posebej; –    elemente gugalnic, ki so pripravljeni za uporabo na ali v kombinaciji z igračo za prostočasne aktivnosti; –   konstrukcijski paketi za igrače za prostočasne aktivnosti, vključno s komponentami, ki se uporabljajo za gradnjo igrač za prostočasne aktivnosti, v skladu za načrtovano gradnjo stavbe. Področje uporabe tega evropskega standarda ne zajema: –    opreme za igrišča, ki je namenjena javni rabi, opisana v standardu EN 1176; –   zibalnih igrač za prostočasne aktivnosti, ki so pritrjene na lok, kot so zibalni konji in podobne igrače, zajete v standardu EN 71-1; –    igralnih bazenov z največjo izmerjeno globino vode preko 400 mm med ravnjo preplavljanja in najglobljo točko v bazenu; -    trampolinov za igro. OPOMBA 1    Zahteve za trampoline za igro in napihljive igrače, ki niso za v vodo, so v izdelavi. OPOMBA 2    Obstaja večje tveganje za utopitve v bazenih za igro, kjer globina vode presega 400 mm.

This European Standard also specifies requirements for:
— separately sold accessories for, and components of activity toys;
— separately sold swing elements that are ready for use on or in combination with an activity toy;
— construction packages for activity toys including components used to build activity toys according
to a scheduled building instruction.
The scope of this European Standard excludes:

— bow-mounted rocking activity toys such as rocking horses and similar toys, which are covered by
specific requirements in EN 71-1;
— toy pools with maximum depth of water over 400 mm measured, between the overflow level and
the deepest point within the pool;
NOTE 1 For information regarding the classification of pools as toys see European Commission guidance
document No. 8 from Bibliographical Entry [1].
— pools with maximum depth of water over 400 mm measured, between the overflow level and the
deepest point within the pool, without play elements covered e.g. by the EN 16582 series or
EN 16927.
NOTE 2 There is an enhanced risk of drowning in toy pools where the depth of water is in excess of
400 mm.
— trampolines for domestic use dealt with in EN 71-14.
— inflatable activity toys (except paddling pools).

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
activity toy
toy for domestic use, in which the support structure remains stationary while the activity is taking place
and which is intended for the performance by a child of any of the following activities: climbing,
jumping, swinging, sliding, rocking, spinning, paddling, crawling and creeping, or any combination
thereof
Note 1 to entry: Examples of such toys are swings, slides, carousels, climbing frames, rigid playhouses, paddling
pools. In contrast, ride-on vehicles are not considered as activity toys.
3.2
anchor
device used to fix an activity toy to the standing surface
3.3
barrier
device intended to prevent the user from falling and from passing beneath
[SOURCE: EN 1176-1:2017, 3.24]
3.4
crossbeam
bar or beam which forms a main load bearing part of certain activity toys (see Figure 1)
3.5
entrapment
hazard presented by a situation in which a body, part of a body, or clothing is entrapped
3.6
exposed edge
edge intended to be touched and/or gripped by a child during the use of an activity toy
Note 1 to entry: Exposed edges are commonly found on doors, windows, shutters, ladders, steps, handrails,
retaining sides for slides and seats.
3.7
forced movement
movement of the user caused by the equipment (e.g. swinging, sliding, carousel rotation etc.) which,
once started, cannot be totally controlled by the user
Note 1 to entry: Falls are not considered forced movement as they are not imposed on the user by the
equipment but occur for other reasons.
[SOURCE: EN 1176-1:2017, 3.34, modified — An original Note 2 to entry is not reproduced here.]
3.8
free height of fall
greatest vertical distance from the clearly intended body support to the impact area below
8

SIST EN 71-8:2018
EN 71-8:2018 (E)
3.9
free space
space in, on or around the activity toy that can be occupied by a user undergoing a forced movement
caused by use of the equipment (e.g. swinging, sliding, rocking, revolving)
Note 1 to entry: The definition of free space does not include the three-dimensional space in which a falling
movement takes place.
3.10
handrail
rail intended to assist the user to balance
[SOURCE: EN 1176-1:2017, 3.22]
3.11
platform
raised surface where one or more users can stand without the need of hand support
Note 1 to entry: The classification of a platform will vary depending on its function. Surfaces where the user is
only able to stand with the aid of hand supports are not classified as platforms. Exclusion of surfaces from the
definition can be achieved by a number of means, e.g.:
— reducing the surface area to restrict free movement and encourage holding on;
— incline the surface to encourage holding on;
— introducing movement to the surface to encourage holding on.
[SOURCE: EN 1176-1:2017, 3.21, modified — The wording of the Note 1 to entry was modified.]
3.12
slide
structure with inclined surface(s) on which the user slides in a defined track
Note 1 to entry: Inclined planes, designed primarily for other purposes, such as roofs, do not constitute slides.
3.13
suspension connector
device which forms the direct contact between a crossbeam and the means of suspension (see Figure 1)
3.14
swing
structure incorporating a crossbeam, suspension connectors and a swing device with swing element,
suspension coupling and means of suspension
Note 1 to entry: Examples of swings are shown in Figure 1.
