Overview
EN 12655:1998 (adopted as SIST EN 12655:2002) is a CEN standard that specifies functional and safety requirements and associated test methods for gymnastic hanging rings. It supplements the general safety requirements in EN 913 and applies to three defined types of hanging rings (see table 1 in the standard). ICS classification: 97.220.30 (sports equipment).
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: Defines which types of gymnastic hanging rings are covered and how this standard relates to EN 913.
- Functional requirements (clause 4): Sets out the expected performance characteristics that hanging rings must meet for safe and effective use in gymnastics.
- Specific safety requirements (clause 5): Details the safety features and limits that apply specifically to rings beyond the general requirements in EN 913.
- Test methods: Includes prescribed test procedures to verify compliance with functional and safety criteria; these tests enable objective assessment by manufacturers and testing laboratories.
- Conformity and documentation: Requires records and evidence of testing and compliance for product verification and procurement.
Applications
EN 12655 is practical and relevant for:
- Manufacturers and designers of gymnastic hanging rings - to ensure products meet functional specifications and pass required tests prior to market release.
- Testing laboratories and certification bodies - to perform and report conformity testing against the standard’s methods and clauses.
- Gymnastics clubs, schools, and sports facilities - to inform safe procurement, installation, and maintenance decisions when selecting hanging rings.
- Procurement officers and safety officers - to define contract specifications and verify supplier claims for durability and safety.
- Regulatory and compliance teams - to demonstrate adherence to CEN sport-equipment safety practices when required by local regulations or institutional policies.
Practical value
- Ensures consistent safety and performance across products used in training and competition.
- Reduces risk of equipment-related accidents by defining measurable safety and test requirements.
- Facilitates international trade and procurement by providing a harmonized European benchmark for hanging rings.
