EN 13200-1 Spectator Facilities - General Features of the Spectator Monitoring Area

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of EN 13200-1 test. This standard covers the design and management requirements to ensure the functionality of spectator facilities located in permanent or temporary entertainment venues, including sports stadiums, sports venues, indoor and outdoor facilities.

This standard does not apply to theatres, cinemas, opera houses, auditoriums, conference halls and other similar permanent venues where people gather.

This standard has been prepared to determine general design criteria to ensure the functionality of spectator facilities. In this standard, minimum and recommended values ​​for dimensions are presented from time to time. It is noted that in some countries additional/different requirements may apply due to existing national regulations or equivalent. In some countries, the minimum number of spectators is relevant to the application of this standard.

With regard to the public address system, it is important to ensure that sound levels are appropriately adjusted to account for changes that may occur during an event. This can be achieved automatically by installing an ambient noise detection system. It is important that such a system is fail-safe at maximum power where it is installed.

It is essential that event owners facilitate audience security and that security officials are able to communicate clearly with spectators inside and outside the spectator facilities through a sufficiently strong and reliable public address system.

Maintaining power is essential to ensure continued operation of all control point functions and selected communications systems in the event of a power outage, fire or other emergency.

Therefore, auxiliary power shall be provided at least sufficient to ensure the operation of emergency lighting and all other safety-related facilities (emergency lights, control rooms, scoreboards, etc.) for at least three hours after interruption of normal supply.
