Overview
EN 12346:1998 - published by CEN - is a European Standard that sets safety requirements and test methods specifically for gymnastic wall bars, lattice ladders and climbing frames. It is intended to be used together with the general safety requirements in EN 913, providing supplementary, product-specific guidance for indoor gymnastic equipment. The standard targets the safe design, construction and verification of these fixed climbing/vertical apparatus used in sports halls, schools and training facilities.
Key topics
EN 12346 focuses on product-specific safety and validation. Key technical topics typically covered include:
- Design and construction principles to minimise hazards associated with wall bars, lattice ladders and climbing frames.
- Material selection and surface finish requirements to reduce splinters, corrosion and sharp edges.
- Strength, stability and anchorage - requirements and test methods to confirm structural integrity under expected loads.
- Protection against entrapment and impact risks by addressing spacing, protrusions and accessible openings.
- Fixing and mounting details for safe installation on walls or free-standing supports.
- Durability and maintenance considerations including guidance for inspection intervals and replacement criteria.
- Marking, instructions and user information to ensure correct assembly, installation and safe use.
Note: EN 12346 is intended as a supplement to EN 913; it does not replace the general requirements that apply to a wider range of gymnastic apparatus.
Applications
This standard is practical and relevant to a range of stakeholders involved with indoor gymnastic equipment:
- Manufacturers of wall bars, lattice ladders and climbing frames, to design and test products that comply with European safety expectations.
- Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies that perform mechanical and safety testing according to the specified test methods.
- Installers and facility managers in schools, sports centres and recreational facilities who need to ensure safe mounting and ongoing inspection.
- Procurement officers and specifiers who require standardized safety criteria when buying or specifying gymnastic equipment.
- Safety inspectors and insurers assessing compliance with European gym equipment safety norms.
