3.1.5 Protection against falling The protection against falling of stairs, ramps, platforms or similar shall comply with DIN EN 1176-1.
3.1.6 External climbability Protection against climbing shall be provided at a height up to 2 m from ground level and 2 m above other potential footholds or supports.
Such methods of protection shall conform to entrapment requirements and to the visibility requirements.
NOTE This may be achieved by small mesh netting, panels without openings or with openings of less than 8 mm.
3.1.7 Dimensions Length
Measured from the leading edge of the tramp. frame at least 5,8 m.
Width
Tramp.-width + at least 1,25 m on each side of the tramp (measured from connection spring-frame)
Exception 1: If multiple trampolines are positioned parallel to each other, the distance between any two shall be at least 2,45 m measured from center of bed.
Exception 2: If multiple tramp. are positioned on different sides of the foam pit (f.e. opposite), then the distance between the leading edge of the frames shall be at least 5,8 m.
Depth
At least 150 cm from floor of the pit to top edge of frame for single sided access.
At least 180 cm from floor of the pit to top edge of frame for several sided access.
3.1.8 TC bed mount Foam pits have to be equipped with a exit feature (f.e. trampoline bed).
For single sided access the exit feature must be in a height from the floor of at least 60 cm and be positioned at a distance from the top edge of the trampoline frame of at least 90 cm.
For several sided access the exit feature must be in a height from the floor of at least 60 cm and be positioned at a distance from the top edge of the tramp. frame of at least 120 cm.
When the foam pit is filled with impact absorbing blocks and at rest, the bed incorporated into the design must be at least 15 cm above the foam pit floor at the lowest point.
3.1.9 Blocks The impact attenuating block material shall have a volume of at least 3500 cm3 and a cube or rectangular cuboid shape.
Shall conform to the requirements in acc. to 4.2.
3.2 Playground equipment
3.2.1Accessibility for adults Playground equipment shall be designed to ensure that adults are able to gain access to assist children within the equipment.
Enclosed parts of the equipment such as tunnels and playhouses, with an internal distance greater than 2 000 mm from an entry point shall have at least two access openings that are independent of one another and situated on different sides of the equipment.
These openings shall not be capable of being locked and shall be accessible without any additional aids (e.g. a ladder that is not an integral part of the equipment).
These access openings shall have no dimension less than 500 mm.
Because of the risk of fire, these two openings shall allow the user to leave the equipment by different routes.
3.2.2 Types of protection Below figure shows the appropriate type of protection with different heights of equipment.
When installed on ramps or stairs, handrails, guardrails or barriers shall commence at the lowest position on the ramp or stairs.
For all other equipment, openings in the barrier provided with a guardrail, which give access to steep play elements, shall not be greater than 1 200 mm (see Figure c).
