Important Note on Safety and Children’s Outdoor Fitness Equipment
All our children’s outdoor fitness products conform to the only safety standard for Outdoor fitness equipment – BS EN 16630:2015 (permanently installed outdoor fitness equipment standard).
The BS EN 16630:2015 standard specifically states that the equipment it covers ‘is not playground equipment for children’. Therefore, we recommend that children or users who are less than 1400mm in height should not be using any certified Outdoor Fitness Equipment covered within BS EN 16630:2015. Instead we recommend that outdoor gym equipment for children should conform to the BS EN 16630:2015 standard AND has been adapted for children.
What Outdoor Gym Equipment Do Action Play and Leisure Supply for Children?
All the outdoor gym equipment Action Play & Leisure supply for children has been adapted specifically for users below 1.4m in height AND conforms to the BS EN 16630:2015 safety standard. As there is no British or European standard at this time which does cover the <1.4m height aspect, our equipment is designed to pass the same test methods AND safety requirements in terms of operation and movement as stated in the BS EN 16630:2015.standard. The main difference is that the equipment has been scaled-down in size to make it more accessible to children and users under 1.4m in height. ALSO, the internal stopping mechanisms within the equipment have been adapted to eliminate crush or shearing points and added smoother radiuses for foot plates and seats.
There is no muscle-building equipment within this range. This is because it is not encouraged to focus on muscle-building amongst children. Please note that our children’s outdoor gym equipment is solely intended for cardiovascular, co-ordination and balance exercises.
We would recommend that a risk assessment be carried out by the provider in order to implement safe working practices and usage for their clients. Instructions of how to use the equipment are provided and located on each unit, more detailed instructions can be provided on request. Please refer to the documentation and certification supplied for any other information including maintenance of equipment.
