Why
do some manufacturers still produce stands with serious safety problems
in private and public facilities?
The EN13200-6 standard is crystal
clear in point 5.6: There can be no gaps in the stands of
more than
120mm.
Who
have not seen a stand of these characteristic with gaps of more than
120mm? It is common sense that these gaps should not exist. If they do
exist dangerous situation could occur: a child could fall through them,
you could get a foot stuck inside, large objects could fall through
them ...
Many manufacturers make reference to the EN 13200-1 standard
that regulates the vision of the spectators ... but they "forget" about
more important things like Eurocode 1 when calculating the overloads
that these structures must support or the actions of wind, all well
specified also in the EN 13200-6 standard.
This
standard doesn´t refer to the quality ISO 9001 or environmental ISO
14001 standards, , which although they add a bonus to the final quality,
have nothing to do with the correct design of the final products.
