EN 1176

EN 1176 is a European safety standard that sets requirements for playground equipment and surfacing to ensure children's safety during play. It covers design, installation, maintenance, and inspection guidelines for items like swings, slides, and climbing frames. The standard aims to minimize injury risks by establishing safety distances, material quality, durability, and appropriate protective flooring. Compliance helps playgrounds create a safe environment for children to play and develop confidence while reducing hazards associated with equipment failure or improper setup.
