from going in a specific direction NOTE It is important that the location of the area of play accounts for the risks of balls leaving it. If the area of play is located next to a road, a ball stop screen may minimize the risk of players having to recover the ball from the road. It is equally important that other activities (e.g. playground area, artificial climbing structure) are protected from ball impact. 4 General requirements 4.1 Materials Materials should be selected and protected such that the structural integrity of the equipment manufactured from them is not affected before the next relevant maintenance inspection. NOTE The provisions relating to certain materials in this European Standard do not imply that other equivalent mate-rials are unsuitable in the manufacture of multi-sports equipment. The selection of materials and their use should be in accordance with the appropriate European Standards where applicable. Particular care should be taken in the choice of materials where equipment is to be used in extreme climatic or atmospheric conditions. Where very low or very high temperatures can be anticipated care should be taken with material selection to avoid possible hazards through direct skin contact.

Key 1 part of the load to be removed because of favourable effects Figure 1 — Example of removal of that part of the user load which causes a favourable effect 4.3 Finish of equipment Wooden equipment shall be made of wood with a low susceptibility to splintering. The surface finish of equip-ment made of other materials (e.g. glass fibre) shall be non-splintering. Rough surfaces should not present any risk of injury. There shall be no protruding nails, projecting wire, rope terminations or pointed or hard and sharp-edged parts within any accessible part of the equipment. Corners, edges and projecting parts within any accessible part of the equipment that project more than 8 mm, and which are not shielded by adjacent areas that are not more than 25 mm from the end of the projecting part, shall be rounded off. The minimum radius of the curve shall be 3 mm. Protruding bolt threads within any accessible part of the equipment shall be permanently covered, e.g. dome-headed nuts. Nuts and bolt heads that project less than 8 mm shall be free from burrs. All welds shall be ground smooth. NOTE Figure 2 shows examples of protection for nuts and bolts. Dimensions in millimetres

entire height if the height of the surround is lower than 2 m. It is recommended that up to 3 m in height (or
entire height if the surround is lower than 3 m) of the surround²
can withstand repeated impact from balls. 5.5.1.2.2 Repeated impact resistance to player's kicks The surround shall withstand repeated shock from players' feet, incurring heavier impact than that from balls. NOTE This is because users are likely to run into the surround. The surround shall not show any breakage when tested in accordance with F.2. This requirement applies to the entire width of the surround and up to 1 m in height of the surround or its entire height, if the height of the surround is lower than 1 m. 5.5.1.3 Access and egress For fully enclosed facilities, there shall be at least one opening with a minimum width of 900 mm. This may be within the goal area. NOTE If access requires a change in direction the layout should not prevent a wheelchair turning to gain access. 5.5.2 Ball stop screen In the case, when a rigid ball stop screen is combined with the multi-sport surround, requirements of 4.2 apply in full up to a height of 1,5 m. In the case, when a ball stop screen is designed to yield and is combined with the surround, requirements of 4.2 apply only to the surround and to the structural supports of the ball stop-screen up to 1,5 m. In the case of a ball stop-screen, where access has not been encouraged, it is only necessary to consider self-weight and wind loading when calculating the structural integrity requirement in 4.2. 5.6 Multi-function central nets and posts When a multi-function net and posts (e.g. for playing tennis, volley-ball…) are used, they shall fulfil the safety requirements of EN 1271, class C, as a minimum. 5.7 Table tennis tables If table tennis tables are installed, they shall fulfil the general requirements of Clause 4. The table tennis tables shall be firmly fixed to the ground or be secured against displacement either by their own weight or by anchoring. The table tennis tables installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions shall withstand without any displacement or toppling over a horizontal force of 1,5 kN per m length of the table structure, applied in the middle of the highest part of the structure (excluding the net), in both the length and the width of the table. 6 Test methods 6.1 General test methods Unless otherwise specified in the following, the requirements shall be verified by measurement, visual exami-nation or practical tests. Before testing the equipment shall be assembled according to manufacturer's instructions into a condition similar to position of use.
