This European Standard specifies general safety requirements for the manufacture, installation, inspection and maintenance of permanently installed, freely accessible outdoor fitness equipment. This European Standard does not cover electrically powered or assisted equipment. The equipment is intended for persons from the age of 14 years or having an overall height greater than 1400 mm to promote fitness by using the equipment to exercise.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure an adequate level of safety while playing in or on the equipment or around it, and at the same time to promote activities and qualities that are known to benefit children because they offer valuable experiences that will help them to deal with situations outside the playground.
