3、 is the UK implementation of EN 1176-5:2008. It supersedes BS EN 1176-5:1999 which will be withdrawn on 31 May 2009.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

4、 1176 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 concentrat

5、ed 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 standa

6、rds 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 availab

7、le to 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 It is advised that the previous version of BS EN 1176 will not be withdrawn until 31 May 2009 to give manufacturers time to amend their product lines.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 re

8、quire replacement. 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

9、this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary. This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract.

33、ods for swings 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 carousel playground equipment intended for more than one user, that rotates around a central vertical axis without os-cillation 3.2 carousel type A

34、 rotating chairs carousels without a closed rotating platform whose user stations are defined by seats or handholds that are rigidly connected with the central shaft via the supporting structure (see Figure 1) BS EN 1176-5:2008EN 1176-5:2008 (E) 6 Figure 1 Example of carousel type A (rotating chair)

35、 3.3 carousel type B classic carousel carousels with a closed rotating platform whose user stations are defined by the upper side of the platform itself and/or by additional seats or handholds that are rigidly fixed on the platform and/or the central shaft (see Figure 2) Figure 2 Example of carousel

36、 type B (classic carousel) BS EN 1176-5:2008EN 1176-5:2008 (E) 7 3.4 carousel type C spinning mushrooms, hanging glides carousels whose user stations are rigidly (spinning mushrooms) or flexibly (hanging glides) fixed to the under side of the supporting structure (see Figure 3) Figure 3 Example of c

37、arousel type C (spinning mushrooms, hanging glides) 3.5 carousel type D track-driven carousel carousel structures that are set in rotation around flat or undulating circular tracks by muscle power (from the hands or feet) transmitted to drive wheels (see Figure 4) Key view on X (enlarged) Figure 4 E

38、xample of carousel type D (track-driven carousel) BS EN 1176-5:2008EN 1176-5:2008 (E) 8 3.6 carousel type E giant revolving disks giant revolving disks are carousels having an inclined axis (as specified in 4.5) whose user stations are not clearly definable (see Figure 5) NOTE They can be set in rot

39、ation by the users physical strength up to the running speed of the users and taking into account gravity. Figure 5 Example of carousel type E (giant revolving disk) 3.7 user station seat or platform and/or handholds on a carousel that allow the user to stay on or to propel the carousel NOTE The use

40、r stations are either rigidly connected to the supporting structure or are mounted on it so as to be mo-bile. 3.8 carousel range space in which the user stations and their supporting structures move when the carousel is in use 3.9 ground clearance H2clear distance between the moving parts of the str

41、ucture and the installation surface (see Figure 6) 3.10 carousel diameter d diameter of the circle described by the construction element farthest away from the centre of the rotational axis where the carousel is in use 3.11 carousel axis central shaft on which the supporting structure is pivot-mount

42、ed and that is rigidly connected to the founda-tions or installation components NOTE The carousel axis can also be a theoretical line when the carousel structure is mounted on a circular track. 4 Safety requirements 4.1 General Carousels shall conform to EN 1176-1 unless otherwise specified in this

43、part of EN 1176. NOTE Hand rails provided on carousels need not meet the height requirements given in EN 1176-1:2008, 4.2.4.2. BS EN 1176-5:2008EN 1176-5:2008 (E) 9 4.2 Free height of fall and impact area Except for carousels of type C, the free height of fall shall be not more than 1 000 mm at any

44、point. For type C carousels, the free height of fall shall be measured from the grip position minus 1 500 mm to the surface below (see also 5.3.4). The impact area around the carousel shall have critical fall height of at least 1 000 mm. 4.3 Free space/falling space NOTE See Figure 6. The principal

45、risk connected to carousels is that of the centrifugal force which results from the rotation. In de-viating from the requirements for free space (see EN 1176-1), for carousels the free space and falling space are the same. NOTE This is substantiated by the fact that the centrifugal force which is ge

46、nerated by the carousel often leads to the user leaving the carousel in an uncontrolled movement. Therefore, attention should be paid to there being no obstacles in the falling space. Unless otherwise specified, the free space/falling space shall be as follows: a) to the side of the carousel, at lea

47、st 2 000 mm; and b) for the free space above the carousel, at least 2 000 mm. When carousels are placed near other items of playground equipment, the impact area of the carousel and the impact area of the other playground equipment shall not overlap.

49、 requirements in EN 1176-1 regarding entrapment of body parts of users (e.g. arms and legs), care should also be taken regarding entrapment of clothing (e.g. jackets, body warmers) that could re-strain users when getting off the carousel. User stations of type A carousels that are supplied with seats shall be equipped with a backrest or hand grip. 4.5 Axis The axis of support of the carousel shall not be inclined at an angle of more than 5 from the vertical. 4.6 Speed of rotation Carousels that use a mechanical advantage to
