Figure 2 — Example of a swing with several rotational axes (Type 2) 3.4 single point swing (Type 3) seat or platform with cables or chains that meet at one fixing point so that the swing can move in all directions Note 1 to entry: See Figure 3. SIST EN 1176-2:2018

a) b) Figure 3 — Examples of a single point swings (Type 3) 3.5 contact swing (Type 4) group of seats flexibly suspended individually from load bearing cross beams, which are arranged around a central axis (a centre point), typically six in number Note 1 to entry: See Figure 4.
Key 1 central axis Figure 4 — Example of a contact swing (Type 4) 3.6 swing height distance between the middle of the fulcrum of the suspension and the playing surface Note 1 to entry: See Figure 5. SIST EN 1176-2:2018

Key 1 rotational axis h1 swing height h2 length of swing suspension member (h1-h3) h3 height of seat h4 ground clearance Figure 5 — Height dimensions 3.9 ground clearance distance between the specified under-part of the seat and the playing surface Note 1 to entry: The measurement position depends on seat type, see 4.2. 3.10 seat clearance distance between the lower edge of the seat and any obstacle adjacent to the path of the swing Note 1 to entry: See Figure 6.

For group swing seats, the minimum ground clearance at rest position shall be 400 mm. For group swing seats with a flexible lower part the ground clearance shall be a minimum of 400 mm measured from the underside of the rigid part of the seat in its most onerous position (see Figure 7).

Key 1 rigid part 2 flexible part h4 ground clearance Figure 7 — Ground Clearance 4.3 Seat clearance for single point swing (Type 3) The seat clearance (see Figure 6) shall be at least 400 mm except in the direction of the beam on which the suspension is fixed. If during use, the side of the swing seat can come into contact with the swing frame, then protective material may be fitted to the frame at this point to protect the beam and the seat. NOTE The design of Type 3 swings permits a deviation from the free space requirement in EN 1176–1 because the hazard of colliding with the beam is readily foreseeable and the benefit to children of playing on swings o
