EN 13200-5:2006 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 13200-5:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 315 “Spectator facilities”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2007, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2007. The European Standard with the general title "Spectator facilities" is divided into six parts: EN 13200-1:2003 Spectator facilities – Part 1: Layout criteria for spectator viewing area – Specification
CEN/TR 13200-2 Spectator facilities – Layout criteria of service area – Part 2: Characteristics and national situations EN 13200-3 Spectator facilities – Part 3: Separating elements – Requirements prEN 13200-4 Spectator facilities – Part 4: Seats – Product characteristics EN 13200-5 Spectator facilities – Part 5: Telescopic stands EN 13200-6 Spectator facilities – Part 6: Demountable (temporary) stands According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.



EN 13200-5:2006 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard has been prepared in order to specify the general design criteria for spectator facilities (permanent, movable, demountable and telescopic), with the purpose of enabling their functionality. Within this standard, minimum and recommended values for dimensions are occasionally presented. It should be recognised that these values are to be considered as values that, in part, recognise different national requirements as a basic provision. Attention is drawn to the fact that in certain countries additional/different requirements may be applicable due to existing national regulations or the equivalent.

Where materials, components and methods of design and construction are not specifically covered by CEN Standards, the designer should be satisfied that the materials and methods to be employed are such as to ensure sufficient levels of safety, durability, integrity, strength, serviceability and performance. Alternatively, a test assembly should be built to test the structure, component, material or method under consideration. The test assembly should be representative as to materials, workmanship and details of the design and construction for which approval is sought. 5 Design 5.1 General Telescopic stands may be described as a series of platform assemblies or tiers, supported on main vertical columns that wheel or interface with the main floor surface in such a way as to allow the system to be opened and closed in a front to back direction. Each row or tier interlocks with the previous one so that when opened and ready for use, the structure acts like a single truss running from a low level at the front to the highest tier at the rear (see Figure 3).

Key 1 Closed depth (C/D) 2 Row depth (R/D) 3 Row rise (R/R) Figure 3 — Example of telescopic stand Telescopic stands are usually fixed to the structure of the building but can extend and retract within the room or location. In the case of moveable units, careful consideration must be given to operator/operational safety when moving the system.
Telescopic stands are predominantly sited indoors and require a stable, level and firm floor surface to operate upon. Stands range from small installations with bench seats (often in schools and small sports halls), to very large arena installations with, for example, 10,000 fully upholstered, individual seats on 20 rows of tiered platforms. These larger projects require considerable specialised engineering design input from the manufacturer. A seating place is required to provide a minimum viewing standard together with a sufficient level of safety for the spectator body. Viewing standards refer to the ability of a seated spectator to see a predetermined focal point in the activity area. This viewing standard is often referred to as a sight line.
The layout of the seating deck and the geometry of the deck are required to provide for the safe access and egress of spectators.
Protective barriers on the perimeter of the seating deck and within the seating layout provide protection against falling.
The supporting structure is required to safely resist the static and dynamic forces created by the spectator body and in the case of telescopic stands, particular attention should be made to the horizontal and vertical locking systems that prevent each row or platform from disengaging with the adjacent row or platform.
The material loads and loads of the spectators of telescopic stands shall not exceed the point loads of the bearing capacity of the floor. It has to be considered that resilient sports floors have limited bearing capacities for static and dynamic loads. Criteria concerning sightline, layout and protection from falling are similar to permanent and telescopic seating decks. However, the nature of vertical support of permanent and telescopic seating decks is significantly different as is the ratio of live load to dead load.
