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 !shall" be selected and protected such that the structural integrity of the equipment manufac-tured 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. !In the choice of a material or substance for equipment, consideration should be given to the eventual dis-posal of the material or substance having regard to any possible environmental toxic hazard."

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

clothing/hair"." When an elevated surface abuts a multi-sports area as a spectator platform for visibility of multi-sports activi-ties, no impact attenuating surface is required within the multi-sports area if a barrier of !2 000 mm" minimum height is provided. The requirements for impact attenuating surface apply to the remaining sides of the elevated surface. NOTE The barrier is intended to prevent users gaining access to the multi-sports area either over the top or to the side of the barrier. 4.12 Removable elements If the equipment includes any elements that are designed to be removable (e.g. post, exchange of individual parts of equipment), any cavities or holes left in the surface shall be suitably covered to ensure continuity of the playing surface. 5 Specific requirements 5.1 General Equipment shall comply with general requirements of this European Standard except in so far as they are modified by this section. 5.2 Basketball equipment 5.2.1 Requirements 5.2.1.1 Classification Basketball equipment shall be classified by the design (types), the free space and typical performance crite-rion (classes) as shown in Tables 1 and 2.

climbing:  nets with square meshes shall not have a horizontal size of more than 50 mm horizontal spacing;  nets with diamond meshes shall not have a mesh size of more than 100 mm, measured from centre to centre;  nets with any other type of mesh shall meet the requirements specified in 4.4.2.1.2
but restricted to the probes 1 and 2. NOTE Mesh sizes and types are defined in EN 1263-1. The upper section of the net shall be designed in such a way to prevent the user from sitting in this area." Nets shall fulfil the following load requirements:  !1 080 N" minimum for mesh breaking strength (test method: EN ISO 1806);  7 000 N minimum for the rope breaking force of net head line (test method: EN ISO 2307). 5.4.2 Net fixings Net fixings shall be designed in such a way that the player cannot be hurt. NOTE This requirement may be fulfilled if e. g. external openings (i.e. on the circumference of the cross section of the uprights and the cross bar) are ≤ 8 mm or ≥ 25 mm. Net fixing shall not project into the space occupied by users during play or whilst accessing the equipment. Metal cup hooks shall not be used. If spring hooks are used as means of fixation or for the end of a rope, they shall have screw caps. 5.5 Multi-sports surround and ball stop screen 5.5.1 Multi-sports surround 5.5.1.1 General The multi-sports surround shall be at least 0,9 m in height. NOTE Given that users run into the surround during games, this is to prevent them from falling over. SIST EN 15312:2007+A1:2010

dimension of the framework of the surround (length or height) when tested in accordance with F.1 This requirement applies to the entire width of the surround and up to 2 m in height of the surround or its
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 !Very intense forceful" impact resistance to player's kicks The surround shall withstand !very intense forceful" 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 playing net and posts (e.g. for playing tennis, volley-ball)" are used, they shall fulfil the safety requirements of EN 1271, cla
