Tw

26、elve categories of hazard or sources of hazard have been considered relevant to gymnastic equipment. These are as follows: a) crushing; b) shearing; c) cutting and severing; d) entanglement and trapping; e) impact; f) stabbing or puncture; g) friction and abrasion; h) insufficient mechanical strengt

27、h; i) use of unsuitable material; j) unintended movement, including sliding; k) unsuitable ergonomic design; l) fire; m) wrong or missing information. 5 General safety requirements 5.1 Surface finish There shall be no protruding nails, projecting wire rope terminations or pointed or sharp-edged comp

28、onents. Rough surfaces should not present any risk of injury. All welds shall be smooth. Protruding bolt threads within any accessible part of the equipment shall be permanently covered, e.g. dome headed nuts. Nuts and bolt heads that project less than 8 mm are permitted in non accessible parts, pro

29、vided they are free from burrs. Corners, edges and projecting parts within the space occupied by the user that protrude more than 8 mm, and which are not shielded by adjacent areas that are not more than 25 mm from the end of the projecting part, shall be rounded off. The minimum radius of the curve

30、 shall be 3 mm. Figure 1 shows examples of protection for nuts and bolts and permissible protruding parts. Figure 2 shows examples of non-permissible protruding parts.

33、ps and shearing/crushing points When in use there shall be no openings, gaps and/or shearing/crushing points that can create a danger of head and neck or finger entrapment and where components of equipment are able to move relative to each other or to the floor, either by design or through deflectio

34、n or bending under load, no entrapment point shall be created by such movement. These requirements shall be assessed by carrying out a visual inspection and measurement using the meth-ods specified in Annex A. No danger of head and neck entrapment is considered to exist where the lowest part of the

35、circumference of an opening is less than 600 mm above floor level. Where an item of equipment may be used at different heights or in different orientations, all possible heights and orientations must be considered. These requirements also apply to all parts used during adjustment and transportation

36、of equipment. 5.2.2 Unintentional dropping Where a transport system is used, it shall not be possible for the equipment to drop when loaded at one end with a minimum weight of 750 N. When a transport system encounters a threshold the mechanism shall not be able to disengage or drop unin-tentionally.

37、 5.3 Stability and strength 5.3.1 General Unless specified elsewhere in individual equipment standards, verification of the stability and strength of equipment shall be achieved by engineering calculation or by testing in accordance with the procedures speci-fied in Annex B. 5.3.2 Stability For stab

38、ility testing where the normal action produces a destabilising force in a horizontal direction, e.g. vault-ing, the theoretical horizontal test force shall be calculated using the formula given in B.1.7. The calculation shall give a result which is 35 % of the self weight of the equipment or 50 N, w

39、hichever is the greater. Unless specified elsewhere in individual equipment standards, for equipment with unfixed body sections an actual test shall be carried out with a theoretical horizontal test force of 65 % of the theoretical test force calcu-lated according to the formula given in B.1.7, or 5

40、0 N, whichever is the greater. Unfixed body sections shall not become separated. 5.3.3 Strength When tested in accordance with Annex B, equipment shall not collapse or fracture, or show any permanent deformation that would result in an additional safety hazard as described in the standard. 5.4 Adjus

41、tment devices Any adjustment devices shall prevent accidental changes during use of the device or the equipment.

42、rs free space. This shall be assessed by carrying out a visual inspection and operation of the adjustment device. 5.5 Shock absorption of top padding When tested in accordance with the method specified in Annex C, the peak acceleration shall not exceed 500 m/s, if not specified in other, individual

43、equipment standards. 6 Marking All gymnastic equipment shall bear the following marking: a) number of the relevant European Standard; b) name, trademark or other means of identification of the manufacturer, retailer or importer; c) year of manufacture; d) number of users for which the equipment is i

45、of whether or not they can be inserted. In situations of doubt when using the probes relating to the tolerance an accurate measurement should be made to ensure the opening is in accordance with the nominal dimension. All tests shall be performed in the most onerous way. A.2 Apparatus Test probes of

46、dimensions as described in Figures A.1 and A.2. A.3 Conditioning and test temperature Condition the equipment and test probes for a minimum of 3 h at the test temperature of (23 2) C. A.4 Procedure A.4.1 Head and neck entrapment A.4.1.1 General The probe shall be applied with its longitudinal axis p

47、erpendicular to the plane of the opening. No rotation of the probe about any axis other than the longitudinal axis is permitted. Translations perpendicular to the longi-tudinal axis of the probe are allowed. The longitudinal axis of the probe is considered to coincide with the longest axis of the pr

48、obes handle. A.4.1.2 Procedure A.4.1.2.1 General Try to insert the cone shaped probe (see Figure A.1) into the opening. If the probe can enter the opening (opening 110 mm) it shall also pass the opening with its largest dimension (230 mm). A.4.1.2.2 Partially bound openings Try to insert the cone sh

49、aped probe (see Figure A.1) into the opening. The probe shall not become stuck. If the probe can enter the opening it shall touch the bottom of the opening (see Figures A.3 and A.4).
