Introduction
The market for water slides is extremely wide and specific and still developing. It is impossible to define
an all-embracing safety specification, including dimensions and design requirements as required by a
standard, without limiting the design possibilities and preventing innovative and new but safe products.
This European Standard is intended to establish safety requirements and design guidance rules to serve
anyone involved with water slides, especially designers, manufacturers, operators and users, to ensure
safe and more efficient products. Its basic approach is the consciousness that the sliding action usually
implies for the users a higher risk level than using a pool. For certain aspects of design, manufacturing,
installation, operation and use only specific guidelines, without any technical specification, are given,
which should be taken into consideration and be fulfilled in order to ensure safety for operators and
users.

1 Scope
This European Standard is applicable to all water slides installed in swimming pools of public use.
This Standard specifies general safety requirements for water slides in swimming pools of public use
and specific requirements for defined types of water slides. These specific safety requirements are also
applicable to undefined types as far as possible.
These requirements concern safety and the technical rules for design, calculation and testing.
