European foreword
This document (EN 914:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 136 “Sports,
playground and other recreational facilities and equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an

This document supersedes EN 914:2008.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
This European Standard is one of several standards, each of which deals with a particular type or a
particular group of gymnastic equipment.
The principal changes from the previous edition of EN 914 are as follows:
a) adopting a new type (type 3) in Table 1 and Table 2 in conjunction with corresponding numeric
values;
b) dimension in Figure 1 adapted.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of
North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the
