Sports and recreational equipment - Parkour equipment - Safety requirements and test methods
This European Standard specifies requirements for parkour equipment for use mainly by users starting from 8 years of age. This European Standard recognizes that parkour movement is personally determined by users, using controlled physical exertion from, to and through equipment elements and structures; both permanently installed and portable.
The requirements are intended to protect users from hazards that they might be unable to foresee when using the equipment as intended, or in a manner that can be reasonably anticipated.
This European Standard also specifies requirements for the installation and maintenance of parkour equipment, including area, height, flow, location and separation from other facilities, including children’s playgrounds and multi-use games areas (free access multi-sports equipment).
NOTE As listed above, this European Standard is only applicable to parkour equipment, installation and maintenance, but not for example to parkour activities.
Sport- und Freizeitanlagen - Parkoureinrichtungen - Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Diese Europäische Norm bestimmt die Anforderungen an Parkour-Elemente für die vorwiegende Benutzung durch Benutzer ab 8 Jahren. Diese Europäische Norm erkennt an, dass beim Parkour die Bewegung durch die Benutzer mithilfe eines kontrollierten Körpereinsatzes von, auf und durch Elemente(n) und Strukturen des Geräts persönlich bestimmt wird; das gilt sowohl für dauerhaft aufgestellte als auch für ortsbewegliche Geräte.
Die Anforderungen sind dazu bestimmt, die Benutzer gegen Gefahren zu schützen, die sie vielleicht nicht vorhersehen können, wenn sie das Gerät bestimmungsgemäß oder auf eine vernünftigerweise vorhersehbare Art verwenden.
Diese Europäische Norm legt ebenfalls Anforderungen an die Aufstellung und Wartung des Parkour-Elements fest, einschlie߬lich Fläche, Höhe, Ablauf, Standort und Trennung von anderen Einrichtungen, wie Kinderspielplätze und Mehrzweck-Spielflächen (frei zugängliche Mehrzweck-Sportanlagen).
ANMERKUNG Diese Europäische Norm gilt nur, wie oben stehend angegeben, für Parkour-Elemente, deren Aufstellung und Wartung, aber nicht zum Beispiel für Parkour-Aktivitäten.
Equipements de sports et de loisirs - Equipements de parkour - Exigences de sécurité et méthodes d'essai
La présente norme spécifie les exigences relatives aux équipements de parkour destinés à être utilisés principalement par des jeunes (8 – 18 ans) et des adultes. La présente norme reconnaît que le parkour ne fait pas partie des jeux d’enfants et que les déplacements sont déterminés personnellement par les utilisateurs, au moyen d’efforts physiques contrôlés depuis, vers et à travers des équipements et des structures, qu’ils soient déplaçables ou installés de façon permanente.
Ces exigences visent à protéger les utilisateurs des dangers qu’ils peuvent être incapables de prévoir lors de l’utilisation de l’équipement comme prévu, ou d’une manière raisonnablement prévisible.
La présente norme spécifie également les exigences relatives à l’installation et à la maintenance des équipements de parkour, y compris la surface, la hauteur, l’enchaînement, l’emplacement et la séparation d’avec les autres installations, y compris les aires de jeux pour enfants et les espaces de jeux multi-usage (équipements multisports libres d’accès).
NOTE Comme indiqué ci-dessus, la présente norme est applicable uniquement aux équipements de parkour, à leur installation et à leur maintenance, mais pas par exemple aux activités de parkour.
Oprema za šport in rekreacijo - Oprema za parkour - Varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode
Ta evropski standard določa zahteve za opremo za parkour, ki jo uporabljajo predvsem mladi (od 8 do 18 let) in odrasli. Ta evropski standard ugotavlja, da parkour ni primeren za otroško igro in da gibanje določa uporabnik osebno, pri čemer uporablja nadzorovan telesni napor za prehod iz, v in skozi elemente opreme in strukture, ki so trajno nameščeni ali prenosni.
Zahteve so namenjene zaščiti uporabnikov pred nevarnostmi, ki jih morda ne morejo predvideti med uporabo opreme v skladu s predvideno uporabo ali na način, ki ga je mogoče razumno pričakovati.
Ta evropski standard določa tudi zahteve za namestitev in vzdrževanje opreme parkour, vključno z območjem, višino, potekom, lokacijo in ločenostjo od drugih objektov, vključno z otroškimi igrišči in večnamenskimi igralnimi površinami (prosto dostopna večnamenska športna oprema).
OPOMBA: Kot je navedeno zgoraj, ta evropski standard se uporablja le za opremo parkour, njeno montažo in vzdrževanje, ne pa na primer za dejavnosti parkour.

Note 2 to entry: Movements such as somersaults, flips or tricks are gymnastic/acrobatic movements. Gymnastics/acrobatics is an entirely separate sport in its own right and has been practised much longer than the sport of parkour. However, traceurs/freerunners (practitioners) sometimes include acrobatics as part of their movement for fun and as a method of improving coordination, flight, balance and spatial awareness. 3.17 parkour equipment product or a combination of products intended to be used to practice a sport of parkour 3.18 portable property of an item that can be moved when needed and is not fixed to one place, position or posture 3.19 rails and bars rails are typically of a square or rectangular section; bars are typically of a circular or oval section 3.20 supervision condition where a competent person personally attends and oversees the setting and takes care of the user's safety Note 1 to entry: In some countries, national sports associations and/or governing bodies may have rules and/or advice for proper supervision and the level of supervisor's competence.

· 0,1 m wide, and which has less than a 30° angle from the horizontal, shall be able to carry the load caused by at least one user. NOTE 1 This also applies to rungs or steps for supporting a user’s feet. Additional measures shall be taken for equipment in which the stability depends on only one cross section. When parkour equipment relies on one post for its stability, the construction shall be carried out such as to: a) minimize rotting or corrosion in parts contributing to stability; b) allow for controlling degradation and the need for decommissioning; and c) be used without collapse within the foreseen inspection period when maintained correctly. NOTE 2 No allowance for accidental loads, i.e. loads produced by fire, collision by vehicles or earthquake, needs to be made. NOTE 3 The loads associated with fatigue are generally much smaller than the loads in combination with the appropriate load factors when calculated in accordance with A.2. Therefore, equipment in general doesn't need to be verified for fatigue. Structural parts shall resist the worst-case loading condition, as demonstrated by, for example, that part of the user load causing favourable effects, as shown in Figure 3. SIST EN 16899:2017
Key 1 part of load to be removed Figure 3 — Example of removal of that part of the user load which causes a favourable effect Landings shall be designed to withstand repeated shock from users, including occasional heavy impacts, from more than one user landing at the same time. The manufacturer can choose either a physical test done according to Annex C or provide static calculations performed by appropriate methods. For combined structures, when tested in accordance with Annex C, surround, panel and fixing points shall show no signs of cracks or deformation, loosening of connecting parts, or any other failure of structural integrity (see Figure 4).

The minimum and maximum heights for bars on an elevated landing shall be in accordance with Figure 8. Bars shall have a diameter greater than 16 mm. If the bar or rail has a diameter of 100 mm or bigger, it is considered a landing. When a bar or a rail is installed on the landing wider than 200 mm and inclined less than 30°, the foot shall be prevented from going through the gap between the bar (or rail) and landing by filling it, unless the gap is greater than body clearance.

When only one side is open, the maximum declination shall be 5°. 5.6 Protection against injuries during movement and falling Objects in the falling space shall be restricted to landings, bars and rails. All elements of the parkour area are inspected as one cluster. They shall fulfil requirements given in 5.7 regarding clearances and requirements given in 6.5 regarding falling space. 5.7 Clearances Grooves shall be
