24、use by children. The aim is to provide protection to the user against possible hazards during use. Where the main play function is not sliding, the relevant requirements in this part of EN 1176 may be used, as appropriate.This document is not applicable to waterslides, rollerways or slide installati
25、ons where auxiliary equipment such as mats or sledges are used. This document is not applicable to inclined surfaces that do not contain and guide the user, e.g. banister rails (inclined parallel bars).2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in
26、this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

27、ts and test methods3 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 1176-1 and the following apply.3.1slidestructure with inclined surface(s) that contains and guides the user sliding in a defined trackNOTE Inclined planes, designed primarily for other
28、purposes, such as roofs, do not constitute slides.3.2embankment slideslide in which the majority of the sliding section follows the contour of the landNOTE Access to the starting section is usually direct from the mound or via an access ladder or stairs.3.3attachment slideslide for which access to t
29、he starting section is possible only by passing via other equipment or parts of equipmentNOTE Such equipment includes climbing nets, bridges, platforms, inclined planes, other climbing devices.3.4helical slideslide where the sliding section follows spiralsNOTE See Figure 4.3.5curved slideslide where
30、 the sliding section follows curvesNOTE See Figure 4.3.6free-standing slideslide which is separate from any other piece of equipment with its own means of access from the ground directly to the starting section5BS EN 1176-3:2017EN 1176-3:2017 (E)3.7tunnel slideslide where the sliding section has an
31、enclosed cross section3.8mixed tunnel slideslide for which only the upper section of the sliding section has an enclosed cross section3.9multi-track slideslide with several defined tracks separated by dividers3.10starting sectionsection on which the user is enabled to get into sliding positionNOTE T
32、he starting section can be a platform or an extension of a platform of playground equipment.3.11sliding sectionsection on which the user is undergoing forced movement3.12run-out sectionsection on which the users speed is reduced to enable a safe departure from the slide3.13guarding sectionadditional
33、 component of a slide, which serves the function of a barrier, to protect users from falls from the starting sectionNOTE The guarding section can extend into the region of the sliding section.3.14lateral protectionside of the starting section or sliding section that retains and guides the user4 Safe
34、ty requirements4.1 GeneralSlides shall conform to EN 1176-1 unless otherwise specified in this part of EN 1176.4.2 AccessAccess to the starting section shall be by means of an access ladder, stairs, climbing section or device.In the case of embankment slides, access to the starting section may be ga
35、ined directly from the mound.For free-standing slides, the maximum vertical height that the first stairs can reach without a change in direction or offset, by a minimum width of the means of access, shall be 2 500 mm.Where the starting section of a slide is easily accessible the free height of fall
36、(h) shall be 1 000 mm maximum unless guarding is provided (see 4.3.2).For all attachment slides with a fall height greater than 1 000 mm, a rail or crossbar across the access opening shall be provided (see Figure 1a). The rail or crossbar shall be positioned between the platform guard rail or barrie
37、r and the start of the sliding section.The height of the rail or crossbar shall be between 600 mm and 900 mm above the starting section.6 BS EN 1176-3:2017EN 1176-3:2017 (E)For attachment slides with a starting section or barrier beyond the edge of the platform, the area of the starting section betw
38、een the rail or crossbar and the platform shall comply with the same requirements as platforms in EN 1176-1.NOTE Such requirements include the height of guard rail or barrier.Dimensions in millimetresb) Example of lateral protection of a starting section of a free-standing slideKey1 zone representin

40、ast 350 mm length. The starting section shall have a downward slope tolerance from 0 to 5 in the direction of the sliding section, the measurement being made at the centreline of the starting section.For attachment slides the platform may be used as a starting section.KeyA starting section measured

42、 Guarding sectionThe starting section shall have a guarding section conforming to the barrier requirements of EN 1176-1 when one of the following applies: the length of the starting section is more than 400 mm; the starting section is easily accessible and has a free height of fall of more than 1 00
43、0 mm; the free height of fall of the starting section is more than 2 000 mm.The guarding section shall either be a continuation of the lateral protection or be outside the plane of the lateral protection.When the guarding section is separate from or outside the plane of the lateral protection, the m
44、aximum vertical or horizontal offset shall be less than 89 mm.For attachment slides, the opening in the barrier shall be the same as the width of the starting section or guarding section.For attachment slides where all or part of the starting section is beyond the platform edge, the guarding section
45、 shall have a height of at least 500 mm at some point (see Figure 1a).For attachment slides where the platform is used as the entire starting section, the requirements for protection against falling in EN 1176-1:2017, 4.2.4, apply.8 BS EN 1176-3:2017EN 1176-3:2017 (E)For free-standing slides, the gu
46、arding section shall have a height of at least that required for platforms at one point (see Figure 1b).4.3.3 WidthThe width of the starting section shall be equal to that of the sliding section. The starting section shall be designed so that it is aligned with the direction of the initial sliding m
47、ovement. If the starting section is a platform or the extension of a platform the starting section may be greater in width than the sliding section.4.3.4 Lateral protection (sides)The lateral protection of the starting section shall be a continuous unbroken extension of the lateral protection of the
48、 sliding section.The construction of the lateral protection may be from multiple components. Any joints should be free from entrapment and not present a hazard to users.Any variations in the angle of declination of the top of the lateral protection in the sliding direction shall be made with a radiu
49、s of at least 50 mm at some point.4.4 Sliding section4.4.1 Length and angleThe length of the initial straight sliding section shall not exceed 7 000 mm.The length of the second and subsequent straight sliding sections after a bend shall not exceed 5 000 mm.NOTE 1 Background information and rationale regarding limiting straight sliding sections are given in informative Annex B.The angle of declination to the horizontal of the sliding section shall not exceed 60 at any point and shall not exceed an average of 40.
