5 General requirements
5.1 Exemptions from certain requirements in EN 71-1 (see A.Z)
The requirements in EN 71-1 are applicable to trampolines for domestic use with exemptions for the requirements under the following headings in EN 71-1:
— edges (EN 71-1:2014+A1:2018, 4.7);
— points and metallic wires (EN 71-1:2014+A1:2018, 4.8);
— protruding parts (EN 71-1:2014+A1:2018, 4.9);
— toys which a child can enter (EN 71-1:2014+A1:2018, 4.14.1).
The above-mentioned requirements from EN 71-1 are not exempted for trampolines intended for children under 36 months.
NOTE This European standard specifies specific requirements for edges, sharp points and protruding parts for trampolines for domestic use (see 5.6.2, sharp edges and sharp points and 5.6.3) which is why the corresponding requirements of EN 71—1 do not apply to trampolines (for children of 36 months and over).BS EN 71-14:2018 pdf free download.
