9、.37 Bibliography .42 iv ISO 2016 All rights reserved ISO 20187:2016(E) Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO techn
10、ical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
11、with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria need
12、ed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives). Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
13、rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

ISO 2016 All rights reserved v ISO 20187:2016(E) Introduction Play is the means by which children discover a
16、nd understand the world in which they live and is an essential element in a childs physical and mental growth. It is important for childrens rounded development that, through play, they arrive at an understanding of danger which provides a basis for assessing safety in a variety of situations. The b
17、alance between challenge and safety is an important consideration. The inflatable play equipment referred to in this International Standard can provide different levels of challenge and recreation. This International Standard aims to minimize the level of risk and the possibility of serious injury w
18、hile allowing children to enjoy themselves when playing in or on inflatable equipment. This International Standard acknowledges the difficulties of addressing safety issues by age criteria alone because the ability to handle risk is based on the individual users level of skill and not age. Moreover,
19、 users other than the intended age range will make use of the inflatable equipment, in which case, the provisions of this International Standard still apply. It is not the purpose of the requirements of this International Standard to affect a childs need to play, nor to lessen the contribution that
20、inflatable play equipment makes either to the childs development or meaningful play from an educational point of view. Where inflatable play equipment is combined with other items of childrens playground equipment, the relevant standards applying to the other items of equipment is to also be consult
21、ed.vi ISO 2016 All rights reserved Inflatable play equipment Safety requirements and test methods 1 Scope This International Standard is applicable to inflatable play equipment intended for use by children up to 14 years of age individually and as a group activity. This International Standard specif
22、ies safety requirements for inflatable play equipment for which the primary activities are bouncing and sliding. It sets measures to address risks and also to minimize accidents to users for those involved in the design, manufacture, and supply of inflatable play equipment. It specifies information
23、to be supplied with the equipment. The requirements have been laid down bearing in mind the risk factor based on available data. This International Standard specifies the requirements that will protect a child from hazards that he or she may be unable to foresee when using the equipment as intended
24、or in a manner that can be reasonably anticipated. This International Standard is not applicable to inflatable water-borne play and leisure equipment, domestic inflatable toys, air-supported buildings, inflatables used solely for protection, inflatables used for rescue, or other types of inflatable
25、toys where the primary activity is not bouncing or sliding. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

Fabrics and joints in fabrics shall be of adequate tear and t
41、ensile strength for the weight of the intended user and have sufficient air retention to enable the inflatable, when pressurized to the level specified in the operations manual, to resume its shape after distortion under load. The following fabrics shall be used in those structural parts of the infl
42、atable where force or stress is applied by the user: a) minimum tear strength 350 N (see test method Annex E); b) minimum tensile strength 1 850 N (see ISO 1421); c) minimum coating adhesion 100 N (see ISO 2411). 4.1.2 Thread Threads shall be non-rotting yarn and at least 88 N tensile strength. Stit
43、ching shall be lock-stitch. The length of individual stitches shall be a minimum of 3 mm and a maximum of 8 mm. 4.1.3 Netting Retention netting is commonly used to define the playing area to contain the users and to retain items of mobile play equipment, such as balls. Retention netting shall not si
44、gnificantly impair visibility. Retention netting shall be strong enough to contain the largest/heaviest user for whom the inflatable is designed. In order to prevent users from climbing retention netting the mesh size, where the netting is more than 1 m vertical height and accessible to the user, sh
45、all be 30 mm or less to exclude users feet.4 ISO 2016 All rights reserved ISO 20187:2016(E) Where netting is used for roofs and is accessible to the user, the mesh size shall be small enough to prevent the 8 mm finger rod from passing through (see Figure 2). Dimensions in millimetres Figure 2 8 mm f
46、inger rod Clamber netting (commonly laid on slopes to form foot and hand holds) shall be securely fixed to prevent lifting by the user. The rope from which it is made shall be at least 12 mm in diameter and shall be securely knotted. Strand ends shall be treated to prevent fraying. Care shall be tak
47、en when heat sealing so as not to form hard or sharp edges. 4.1.4 Ropes Ropes shall be fixed at both ends and the total amplitude of swing shall not exceed 20 % of the distance between the fixing points, such that it shall not be possible to make a loop in the rope of large enough diameter to allow
48、probe E to pass through (see Figure D.1). NOTE This requirement is intended to remove the risk of strangulation. The rope diameter shall be between 18 mm and 45 mm. Fibre ropes (textile type) shall conform to ISO 9554 or ISO 2307. Alternatively, a works certificate shall be supplied stating the mate
49、rial used and the safe working load. Monofilament plastics ropes shall not be used. 4.1.5 Zips Zips shall withstand air pressures and tension generated within the structure. Zips used for entrances and exits shall be reliable, easy to use, able to open from both sides, and shall allow access and egress by adults. Zips used for deflation purposes shall have the puller hidden from view (e.g. by a flap or pocket). 4.1.6 Dangerous substances and decorative finishes Dangerous substances shall not be used for inflatabl
