Outdoor Fitness Equipment Certification
Meet Safety Requirements for Your Outdoor Fitness Equipment
The rising popularity of public gyms and outdoor exercise stations has increasingly stressed the need for safe outdoor fitness equipment of the highest quality. Like playground equipment, outdoor fitness stations are installed in easy-to-access and regularly unsupervised public spaces. Therefore, clear guidelines were established to ensure the public a safe and healthy workout.
In the beginning of 2015, the new European Safety Standard - EN16630:2015 - covering the manufacture, installation, inspection and maintenance of permanently installed, freely accessible outdoor fitness equipment came into effect. Based on the German standard DIN 79000:2012-05, the new standard specifies general safety requirements and aims to ensure the safety of outdoor exercise stations.
