Overview

EN 1271:2014 - published by CEN - is the European standard that defines functional and safety requirements plus test methods for indoor and outdoor volleyball equipment. It applies to two equipment types (posts with ground sockets or floor/base fixings) and five equipment classes (A–E) covering top-level competition, club, practice/school and sitting volleyball. This standard is not applicable to beach volleyball and does not cover the umpire stand.

Key topics and requirements

  • Classification and dimensions
    • Two equipment types: Type 1 (with ground sockets/fixings) and Type 2 (with floor/base fixings).
    • Five classes (A–E) for intended sport level (top competition, club, practice, and sitting variants).
    • Net geometry and equipment dimensions are specified (e.g., net mesh for classes A, B and D is 100 mm × 100 mm).
  • Materials and construction
    • Posts: corrosion-resistant metals (hot‑galvanized, powder-coated, painted) or equivalent.
    • Net: suitable fibres with a top net line of synthetic or corrosion‑resistant steel wire (plastic-coated acceptable).
    • Antennae: glass-fibre reinforced plastics or equivalent; for classes A, B, D marked with contrasting 100 mm stripes.
  • Safety requirements
    • Post strength: no collapse, no cracks, and permanent deformation after test ≤ 10 mm.
    • Tensioning devices and rope attachments: must not release unintentionally; handles must be removable/retractable or remain inside the post.
    • Post pads required from ground up to 2 000 mm, fully encompassing protrusions; damping value < 50 g under specified drop test.
    • Ground sockets for outdoor use: corrosion resistant and drained.
  • Test methods
    • Detailed procedure for evaluating post/permanent deflection under measured net tension (initial force F1 and increased force F2 = F1 × 1.2) with class-specific forces and test heights.
    • Textile and rope breaking strengths specified (e.g., top net line breaking forces: Classes A/B/D ≈ 6 000 N, C/E ≈ 3 000 N).
  • Marking and user instructions
    • Equipment must be accompanied by installation, use and safety instructions and marking information.

Applications and who uses it

  • Manufacturers of volleyball posts, nets, antennae and bases - to design compliant products.
  • Test laboratories and certification bodies - to carry out conformity and safety testing.
  • Sports facility managers, clubs and schools - to specify, procure and maintain safe volleyball equipment.
  • Event organisers and federations - to ensure equipment meets competition class requirements (including sitting volleyball).
  • Installers and maintenance teams - for correct installation, grounding and padding requirements.

Related standards

  • EN 913:2008 (gymnastic equipment - used for pad/drop testing)
  • EN ISO 1806, EN ISO 2307, ISO 3108 (textile/rope test methods and breaking load determination)
