3、 the UK implementation of EN 1176-2:2008. It supersedes BS EN 1176-2:1998 which will be withdrawn on 31 May 2009.The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee SW/65, Childrens playground equipment.Operators and providers are advised that equipment conforming to EN 1176

4、 require regular maintenance. Guidance on this and appropriate inspection, maintenance and operation schedules are contained within BS EN 1176-7:2008.National standards have been published by BSI on childrens playground equipment since BS 3178 was first issued in 1959, this standard concentrated on

5、specifications for specific types of equipment. It was replaced in 1979 by BS 5696 which switched focus to a design and safety approach.With the increasing introduction of overseas equipment BSI led the way by calling for a European Standard to address the conflicting safety advice and standards fro

6、m other countries. This was published in 1999 as BS EN 1176 and further focused on the safety of playground equipment.All standards published by BSI are regularly assessed and this revision is part of the process, it takes into account new design concepts and the operating experience available to th

7、e standards committees.It is advised that the previous version of BS EN 1176 will not be withdrawn until 31 May 2009 to give manufacturers time to amend their product lines.Playground equipment not complying with this revision should not automatically be considered as being unsafe or to require repl

8、acement. A risk assessment by competent persons should be used to determine what action, if any, is necessary. Manufacturers and Inspectors of the Register of Play Inspectors International (RPII) are amongst those that will be able to assist in this.A list of organizations represented on this commit

42、1 unless otherwise specified in this part of EN 1176. 4.2 Ground clearance The minimum ground clearance (seeFigure 5) at rest position shall be 350 mm. For tyre seats of swings of Types 1, 2 and 3, the ground clearance in the resting position shall be at least 400 mm. In the case of contact swings w

43、ith vertical tyres as seats (see Figure 11), the ground clearance can be reduced to 100 mm minimum. NOTE Contact swings with vertical tyres may have a lower ground clearance because their construction is flexible; if an impact occurs the tyre is deflected and the impact is reduced. Also, the tyre is

44、 made from impact attenuating material. 4.3 Seat clearance for single point swing (Type 3) The minimum seat clearance (see Figure 6) shall be at least 400 mm except in the direction of the beam on which the suspension is fixed. NOTE If during use, the side of the swing seat can come into contact wit

45、h the swing frame, then protective material may be fitted to the frame at this point to protect the beam. 4.4 Minimum clearance and lateral stability of swing seats with more than one point of suspension 4.4.1 Minimum space between the seats of swings The minimum horizontal dimension, C, between the

46、 side (see Figure 7a) of a swing seat and the adjacent structure in the rest position shall be 20 % length of the suspension member (+ 200 mm). The minimum horizontal dimension, S, between adjacent swing seats (see Figure 7a) in the rest position shall be 20 % length of the suspension member (+ 300

47、mm). For Type 4 swings the minimum distance between the seat surface and the central axis shall be 400 mm when the seat is at an angle of 90 (see Figure 7c).
