Overview

EN 13200-1:2019 - Spectator facilities: Part 1 - sets out the general design and management requirements for spectator viewing areas at permanent and temporary entertainment venues (e.g., sport stadia, sport halls, indoor and outdoor facilities). Published by CEN, it specifies terminology, basic layout principles and functional requirements to enable safe, comfortable and functional spectator areas.
Note: this standard does not apply to theatres, cinemas, opera houses and similar venues, and provisions for media facilities are excluded.

Key Topics and Requirements

  • Scope and terminology: Defines key terms such as viewing area, activity area, service area, vomitory, sightline, design capacity and flow capacity to ensure consistent design language.
  • Materials, structures and finishes: Guidance on structural fire resistance, finishes, furniture and slip resistance for outdoor pavements; requirements reference national/regulatory fire classifications.
  • Electrical and emergency systems:
    • Requirements for electrical installations to minimize fire risk and ensure circuit segregation.
    • Emergency lighting: minimum 5 lx along exit routes (1 m above floor); recommended 10 lx for spectator visual comfort; endurance requirements (e.g., emergency lighting 60 min).
    • Safety power supply and battery charger provisions with defined minimum endurance for alarms and firefighting systems.
  • Spectator control and safety devices:
    • CCTV systems for monitoring viewing areas, passageways and entrances with night-time recognition capability.
    • Public address systems, auxiliary power, scoreboards and orientation/wayfinding provisions.
  • Viewing area design:
    • Detailed requirements for seating places (individual seats, benches, stepped seating) and standing places (steps and sloped terraces).
    • Design of places for spectators with special needs and gangways, vomitories, rows and blocks for good circulation and sightlines.
  • Capacity and flows:
    • Methods to determine design capacity and flow capacity of exits.
    • Consideration of loads, dynamic actions and sightline geometry.
  • Annexes: practical examples, distance of vision, classification of sports areas, roof coverings and flow capacity illustrations.

Applications and Users

Who uses EN 13200-1:2019:

  • Stadium architects and structural engineers - for layout, sightline and structural/fire considerations.
  • Venue designers and consultants - for seating/standing configuration and accessibility planning.
