EN 1176-4 Playground Equipment and Surface Coating, Part 4: Additional Specific Safety Requirements and Test Methods for Cable Paths

This standard specifies additional safety requirements for ropeways designed for permanent installation for use by children.

The navigator should be constructed with its sides closed so that it does not slip and prevents the user from accessing the moving parts from the side.

The cable openings can allow the 8mm thumbstick to pass through, but should not be pinched between any moving parts when the stick is inserted at 70mm long.

The hook and hanger element shall be designed in such a way that they do not damage the cable during use. For suspended ropeways, the handle must be made in such a way that the user can always easily let go of his grip.

If the handle is a closed loop, it should not be made of flexible material that could squeeze the user's arm or hand, preventing the user from quickly releasing the grip.
