DIN Handbook 105

Playgrounds and recreational facilities should be designed not only to encourage users to play and engage in physical activity, they must also be safe. This requires strict technical provisions to which playground designers and operators must adhere.

The most important European Standards (DIN EN Standards) dealing with the safety of playground equipment and surfacing are compiled in this handbook. Included are ten standards from the DIN EN 1176 series specifying safety requirements and test methods for playground equipment and surfacing, DIN EN 1177 on the impact attenuation of playground surfacing, and four standards dealing with sports and recreational facilities. This compilation is particularly attractive because it represents huge savings over the purchase of the individual standards.

DIN Handbook 105 is an indispensable reference guide for playground designers, installers, and operators, as well as for playground equipment manufacturers and purchasers, and anyone concerned with the safety of public playground and recreational equipment
