Setting the Standards
The new European Safety Standard for Free Access Neighbourhood
Sports Facilities, commonly known as Multi Use Games Area’s
(MUGA’s) has now been passed and coded EN15312. Playdale are
delighted to announce that their timber/aluminium Agorespace range
of Multi Sports Courts comply fully with this standard.
Multi-sports facilities are becoming evermore popular and with
the new European Standard now in place, this ensures that they are
as safe as possible for users, predominantly children and
teenagers. Playdale Playgrounds Ltd is the UK agent for Agorespace,
the creators of this concept who have over 2000 reference sites
across Europe. There is a vast range of Multi sport concepts
available that apply to this new safety standard that suit all
areas and budgets. Please contact Playdale for your free
brochure.
EN15312 is extremely important as it insists that a wide range
of factors in the design, manufacture and installation of these
facilities is rigorously checked. For example the structural
integrity of the walls of the product against footballs and kicks
is tested intensely. Potential hazards are also checked for example
all welds must be smooth and threaded studs must be covered.
