Introduction
The object of this document is to achieve a minimum level of quality in the design and manufacture of
aluminium stage decks and frames in the entertainment industry.
Entertainment technology is an interdisciplinary field with specific technology and unique safety
requirements. Entertainment technology is used in places of assembly, staging and production areas for
events and theatrical productions. Such locations include but are not limited to theatres, multi-purpose
halls, exhibition halls, film-, television-, photography- and radio-studios as well as facilities in concert
halls, museums, schools, bars, discotheques, open-air stages and other places for shows and events. In
some cases, atypical non-performance places are also used.
This document has been developed based on the previous requirements of DIN 15921:2015-09.
This document has been drawn up according to past experience and risk analysis.

These installations are not permitted to be used for the transportation of persons or for the movement of loads above people’s heads.
Standing under loads is permitted when these are at rest.
NOTE 2   Only during setup, the operator might, for operational reasons, be required to stand in the hazard zone for short periods of time.
This document also applies to installations with new technologies or customized designs that are not expressly named here but are being used in identical modes of operation.
This document does not apply to:
—   stands with a Load Limit ≤ 3 kg;
—   camera stands;
—   wooden stands.
This document also specifies the information to be communicated between manufacturers and users, and the details that are to be provided with regards to the intended use of the machinery installations.
