3、 is the UK implementation of EN 1176-4:2008. It supersedes BS EN 1176-4:1998 which will be withdrawn on 31 May 2009.The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee SW/65, Childrens playground equipment.Operators and providers are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 1

4、176 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

5、on 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

6、from 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

7、 the standards committees.It is advised that the previous version of BS EN 1176 will not be withdrawn until 31 May 2009 to give manufacturers time to amend their product lines.Playground equipment not complying with this revision should not automatically be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

8、eplacement. 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 com

32、ods for rocking equipment 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 1176-1:2008 and the following apply. 3.1 cableway item of childrens playground equipment whereby children can travel on or along a cable under the force of gravity (see Figure 1

33、) 3.2 hanging type cableway cableway equipped with a suspension assembly which includes a grip for hanging 3.3 seating type cableway cableway equipped with a suspension assembly which includes a seat 3.4 starting point area in which the user can reach the grip or seat and set the equipment in motion

34、 3.5 area of travel area in which the user can travel freely 3.6 terminus area furthest away from the starting point that the user can reach by travelling across the area of travel 3.7 traveller moving part that, by influence of gravity, moves the user along the cable (see Figure 1) BS EN 1176-4:200

37、se specified in this part of EN 1176. BS EN 1176-4:2008EN 1176-4:2008 (E) 8 4.2 Framework and fixing points for the cable Framework and fixing points for the cable shall be designed to withstand the computed loads (static and dy-namic) transmitted by the cable, in accordance with EN 1176-1. There sh

38、all be an adjusting device so that the correct sag can be maintained for the life of the cable. 4.3 Calculation of forces acting on the cable of a cableway The cable shall be designed so that it can withstand the forces acting upon it according to EN 1176-1:2008, Annex A. 4.4 Stops When tested in ac

39、cordance with Annex A, the stop at the terminus shall progressively slow down the traveller until it stops and the suspension element shall not swing through an angle of more than 45, as shown in Fig-ure 4. NOTE This test includes an allowance for starting speed. 4.5 Traveller The traveller shall be

40、 constructed so that it cannot slip out of place. Travellers shall be provided with means to prevent accidental access to the sheaves (e.g. by cladding them). There shall be only one traveller on the same cable. The traveller and suspension element shall be designed such that it does not cause damag

41、e to the cable dur-ing use. 4.6 Suspension assembly For seating type cableways rigid suspension elements shall not be used. If a flexible suspension element is used it shall be designed to prevent risk of strangulation. If a pulling device for the traveller is provided it shall be designed to preven

42、t risk of strangulation. 4.7 Cableways arranged in parallel For cableways arranged in parallel, the distance between the cables shall be at least 2 000 mm. 4.8 Grips For hanging type cableways the grip shall be constructed to ensure that the user can easily release their hold at all times. If the gr

43、ip is an enclosed loop, it shall not be made from flexible material that could tighten around the users arm or hand thus preventing the user from releasing their grip quickly. Enclosed loops shall conform to the entrapment requirements in EN 1176-1:2008, 4.2.7. It shall not be possible to climb on t

44、he grip. If the grip is rigid and does not form a loop, the ends of the grip shall conform to EN 1176-6:2008, Annex E. NOTE This is to reduce the risk of eye injury from the ends of projecting hand supports. BS EN 1176-4:2008EN 1176-4:2008 (E) 9 Suspension type cableways from which users will hang b

45、y the hands shall conform to EN 1176-1:2008, 4.2.4.6. 4.9 Seats Seats shall be designed so that the user can leave the cableway quickly and at all times. Seats which form loops or circular rings shall not be used. When tested in accordance with EN 1176-2:2008, Annex C, peak values of acceleration sh

46、all be not greater than 50g and the average surface compression shall not exceed 90 N/cm2. 4.10 Speed When tested in accordance with Annex B the maximum speed of the traveller shall not exceed 7 m/s. 4.11 Free height of fall The free height of fall, for all cableway types, shall be measured unloaded

47、. In the sitting position the free height of fall, H2, shall not exceed 2 000 mm. In the hanging position the free height of fall shall be measured from the grip position minus 1 500 mm to the surface below, as the user should not be able to access the cable (see Figure 2). In the hanging position,

48、the free height of fall, H2, shall not exceed 1 500 mm (see Figure 2). NOTE The sagging of the cable and thus the distance ground/cable, ground/grip and ground/seat are dependent on temperature. The minimum and maximum dimensions specified apply to a reference temperature of 15 C. Dimensions in mill
