EN 13200-1:2012 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard has been prepared in order to specify the general design criteria for spectator facilities, with the purpose of enabling their functionality. Within this European Standard, minimum and recommended values for dimensions are occasionally presented.
Attention is drawn to the fact that in certain countries additional/different requirements may be applicable due to existing national regulations or equivalent. In certain countries, the minimum number of spectators is related to the application of this standard. SIST EN 13200-1:2012



EN 13200-1:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies design and management requirements for spectator facilities at permanent or temporary entertainment venues including sport stadia, sport halls, indoor and outdoor facilities for the purpose of enabling their functionality. This European Standard is not applicable to other permanent venues such as theatres, cinemas, opera houses, auditoriums, lecture halls and similar places where persons congregate. NOTE Provisions for media facilities are not included in this standard. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

facility in which both the activity area and viewing area are covered and enclosed 3.20 outdoor facility open facility or uncovered activity area 4 Materials and technical installations 4.1 General The materials and technical installations shall be made in accordance with the law in force in each country and shall take into account the applicable European Standards. 4.2 Structures, finishes and furniture Fire resistance requirements of structural elements shall be assessed in accordance with the requirements and test procedures established by the regulations in force in each country, regardless of the type of material structural elements are made of (e.g. concrete, clay, steel, solid wood, laminated timber, composite members). The size, thickness and protections of the above-mentioned types of materials and the classification of the premises according to fire load shall be determined in accordance with the tables and methods specified by the regulations in force in each country. The applicable European standards shall also be taken into account. Passages, stairs and steps of outdoor facilities shall be free from stagnation in case of rain and provide appropriate slip resistance. NOTE The pavements of outdoor sports facilities do not require classification for the purposes of reaction to fire. Chairs and other upholstered furniture shall belong to reaction to fire class 1 IM, whereas seats that are neither upholstered nor coated, and that are made of rigid combustible materials, shall belong to a reaction to fire class not higher than 2. In indoor facilities where the viewing area is extended to the activity area, reaction to fire classification of pavements is needed. If the pavements are made of combustible materials, they shall clearly be counted within fire load for the assessment of the fire resistance requirements of structural elements of sports facilities. If devices are provided for actual improvement of overall safety conditions of indoor facilities and of indoor premises in outdoor facilities, such as effective gas evacuation systems installed with automatic fire detection systems and/or automatic sprinkler systems, the use of materials that belong to higher reaction to fire classes may be permitted. 4.3 Electrical installations For the purposes of fire prevention, electrical installations:  shall not be a cause of fire or explosion;  shall neither keep the fire alight nor be a privileged way of spreading fire. The fire behaviour of structural members shall be compatible with the specific intended use of each of the premises;  shall be divided so that possible failures do not bring the entire system out of order; SIST EN 13200-1:2012



EN 13200-1:2012 (E) 8  shall have switching devices located in "protected" positions and shall be provided with clear indications of the relevant circuits. The following safety equipment shall be provided:  lighting installation;  alarm system;  detection system;  fire-extinguishing systems. Safety electrical power supply should be automatic with short interruption (< 0,5 sec) for signaling systems, alarm systems and lighting installations and with average interruption (< 15 sec) for water firefighting systems. Battery chargers shall be automatic and shall be capable of being fully charged within 12 h. The safety electrical power supply endurance shall allow safe conduct of rescue and turning off operations for the necessary time. The minimum endurance is established for each plant as follows:  indication and alarm system: 30 min;  emergency lighting: 60 min;  water firefighting systems: 60 min. Indoor facilities, outdoor facilities intended for night use and indoor premises of outdoor sport facilities shall be equipped with emergency lighting. The emergency lighting shall ensure a lighting level not lower than 5 lx 1 m above the floor along exit routes; self-powered lamps that can ensure functioning for at least 1 h are allowed. If an event takes place after sunset or lasts beyond sunset, spectator areas shall be fitted with lighting. Indoor spectator facilities and spectator viewing areas shall be fitted with lighting. For visual comfort of spectators rather than safety or emergency reasons, the lighting level shall be at least 10 lx. NOTE For more information about lighting, see EN 12193 and EN 1838. 4.4 Spectator control devices Where provided, a closed circuit television system (CCTV) shall allow the observation of the viewing area, service area and passageways of the facility, from a dedicated and attended room, as well as registration of relevant images. The system shall also allow the recognition of an individual spectator during night-time events. In general, a video surveillance installation that is capable of managing and controlling the flow of spectators inside and outside a sports facility implies the structural analysis of the sports facility. Cameras for the protection of fan passageways and entrance/exit areas shall be deployed so that movements of people near the perimeter fence are always under control. The number of cameras varies depending on the type of installation. The key requirement is to cover the entire viewing area.
CCTV may be extended to service and external areas. SIST EN 13200-1:2012



EN 13200-1:2012 (E) 9 An essential feature is the capability of the system to monitor real-time incidents that occur on the grandstands and outside, with a resolution that allows authorities to identify the responsible people. The cameras should be placed on secure vibration-free points that are inaccessible to the public. The speed of operation and then the rotation should be controlled to allow a 180° reorientation in few seconds. 4.5 Public address announcements 4.5.1 General Concerning the public address system, it is important to ensure that the sound levels are suitably adjusted to take account of any changes during an event. This can be achieved automatically by the installation of an ambient noise sensing system. Where such a system is installed, it is important that it be fail-safe at maximum power. Consideration should be given to occupational health through excessive noise. 4.5.2 Public address announcement and systems It is essential that event holders facilitate spectator safety and that security authorities are capable of communicating clearly with spectators inside and outside the spectator facilities by means of a sufficiently powerful and reliable public address system. Such a system should:  have its control centre located in, or immediately adjacent to, the spectator facilities control room, in a position where the operator has CCTV coverage of the spectator facility;  be capable of addressing messages exclusively to individual sectors of the spectator facilities, including banks of turnstiles, internal rooms, hospitality suites and blocks of seating;  be capable of having its volume automatically increased to guarantee that messages will always be audible to spectators even when sudden increases in the crowd noise level occur.
NOTE For example the scoring of a goal during the delivery of a safety message would cause the volume level of the system to instantly and automatically rise above the surge in crowd noise levels.  have an override which would permit the spectator facilities controller to cut in to any separate s
