Foreword
This European Standard (EN 13200-3:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 315 “Spectator
facilities”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by
endorsement, at the latest by May 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May
2006.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries
are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
Introduction
This European Standard has been prepared in order to specify the general design criteria for spectator facilities
(permanent, movable, demountable and telescopic), with the purpose of enabling their functionality.
Within this European Standard minimum and recommended values for dimensions and loadings are occasionally
presented. It should be recognised that these values are to be considered as values that in part recognise different
national requirements as a basic provision.
Attention is drawn to the fact that in certain countries additional/different requirements may be applicable due to
existing national regulations or equivalent.
This European Standard is divided among six parts:
EN 13200-1, Spectator facilities - Part 1: Layout criteria for spectator viewing area - Specification
prCEN/TR 13200-2, Spectator facilities - Layout criteria of service area –Part 2: Characteristics and national situations
EN 13200-3, Spectator facilities - Part 3: Separating elements - Requirements
prEN 13200-4 Spectator facilities - Part 4: Seats - product characteristics
prEN 13200-5 Spectator facilities - Part 5: Telescopic stands
prEN 13200-6, Spectator facilities – Part 6: Demountable (temporary) stands
IMPORTANT NOTES
NOTE 1 The proposed values for barrier loadings contained in Tables A1, A2 and A3 may be justified from experimentally
determined values appropriate to the barrier provision.
NOTE 2 Separating elements for demountable and retractable stands are included within this European Standard.
NOTE 3 Safety management does not form part of this European Standard.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies design requirements for layout and product characteristics for separating elements
within spectator accommodation at permanent or temporary entertainment venues including sport stadia, sport halls,
indoor and outdoor facilities for the purpose of enabling their functionality.
Other permanent venues such as theatres, cinemas, opera houses, lecture halls and similar are excluded from this
standard.
Elements and barriers included in this standard are:
a) external perimeter barriers (5.2)
b) activity area barriers (5.3)
c) segregation elements (5.4)
d) crush barriers (5.5)
e) barriers in front of and behind seating (5.6)
f) barriers in spectator galleries (5.7)
g) ingress and turnstiles (5.8)
h) exit doors and gates (see 5.9)
i) temporary barriers (5.10)
j) front of stage barriers (5.11)
