前言:这是CSA Z614《儿童游乐场设备和表面处理》的第六版。它取代了2014年、2007年、2003年、1998年和1990年出版的《儿童游戏空间与设备》之前的版本。本版本的变更包括以下内容:a）增加了一个条款和支持附件J，以允许新的播放组件可能不适合本标准中列出的规定播放组件类型；b） 修改用户年龄组，以考虑不同能力的儿童；c） 扩大儿童的发展需求；d） 坠落高度不超过450 mm的各种表面材料的可接受性变化； e） 攀爬网结构要求与ASTM F1487一致；f） 更新了附录H，以提高清晰度，并对增加的部件数量进行更改；g） 更新的表g.1；andh）增加了关于热舒适性的新附件（附件K）。本标准的制定符合加拿大标准委员会对加拿大国家标准的要求。CSA集团已将其作为加拿大国家标准发布。范围:1.1本标准规定了供18个月至12岁儿童使用的公用游乐场设备的要求，人体测量限值基于第95百分位。 注:1）儿童所需和期望的挑战水平随年龄、身体发育和情绪发育而变化很大；因此，几乎不可能设计出满足所有儿童需求的游乐场设备。18个月以下的儿童和13岁及以上的儿童通常不使用本标准涵盖的设备。2） 儿童生命的第六年（当儿童五岁时）被视为过渡年。因此，本标准中的要求分为两个年龄组:18个月至5岁和5岁至12岁。 5岁孩子的重叠是故意的，并承认第六年生命的过渡性质。1.2本标准考虑了儿童的身体大小、特殊特征和发展需要，以便提供适当且富有挑战性的游戏体验。1.3本标准适用于学校、公园、托儿设施、机构、多户住宅、私人度假村和娱乐开发区、餐厅和其他公共场所的户外公共游乐场设备。见第3.1.4条本标准包含适用于公共设施设计、制造/施工、安装、维护和检查的技术要求和实践建议- 使用游乐场设备及其相关空间。每个区域的供应商负责满足每个区域的适用要求和建议，但业主/运营商有责任确认是否遵守本标准的要求和建议。1.5本标准旨在促进和鼓励提供和使用设计良好、维护良好、具有创新性和挑战性的游乐场，从而促进健康儿童的发展。1.6本标准的要求旨在最大限度地降低生命的可能性- 通过缓解各种类型的游乐场环境和游戏组件中通常出现的已识别危险，威胁或严重伤害。注:附录J提供了更多关于危险识别和风险/效益评估的参考资料，以及以游乐场为中心的应用实例。1.7本标准适用于（a）在本版本出版之日后建造的公用游乐场、安装的防护面层和制造的公用游乐场设备；和b）本版出版日期后安装的公用游乐场的增补件和更换件。 1.8本标准规定了儿童游乐场中户外公用游乐场设备的要求，尽管在某些情况下，该游乐场设备最初并非为此目的而生产。游乐场中的其他物品或家具，如围栏、长椅、桌子、景观元素、独立的遮阳结构、包含保护性表面的边界、植物和自然材料等，不包括在内。松散的游戏材料也不包括在内。注:本标准图中所示的设备配置仅为示例。 除所示配置外，其他配置的设计和制造可满足本标准条款中规定的要求。1.9本标准不适用于以下情况:a）运动、健身或体育馆环境；b） 滑梯末端在水中；c） 控制公众进入的软性、封闭式游戏设备，如商业场所（如餐厅和百货公司）提供的设备；d） 用于后院的游戏设备；e） 机动游戏机；f） 省级/地区儿童保育法规规定的家庭日托；andg）以下注释中定义的冒险游乐场。 注:探险游乐场是一种特殊类型的非商业游乐场。它们有围栏和安全设施，在“游戏工作者”使用期间有持续的监督。它们的特点是支持自由游戏的发展方法；缺乏成人建造的游乐场设备；以及提供建筑材料、工具和松散部件。1.10在本标准中，“应”用于表示要求，即用户为遵守本标准而有义务满足的规定；“应该”用于表示建议或建议但不需要的建议； “可”用于表示一个选项或在标准范围内允许的选项。注释随附条款不包括要求或替代要求；随附条款的注释的目的是将解释性或信息性材料与文本分开。表和图的注释被视为表或图的一部分，可以作为要求编写。附件被指定为规范性（强制性）或信息性（非强制性）以定义其应用。1.11国际单位制给出的数值为本标准中的记录单位。 括号中给出的值仅供参考和比较。除非另有规定，否则本标准中给出的每个尺寸均适用±2%的公差。

Preface:This is the sixth edition of CSA Z614,Children's playground equipment and surfacing. It supersedes the previous editions, published in 2014, 2007, 2003, 1998, and 1990 under the titleChildren's playspaces and equipment.Changes to this edition include the following:a) added a clause and supporting Annex J to allow for new play components that might not specifically fit into the prescriptive play component types listed in this Standard;b) modified the user age groups to account for children of different abilities;c) expanded on the developmental needs of children;d) changes to the acceptability of various surfacing materials where the fall height is not greater than 450 mm;e) climbing net structures requirements have been harmonized with ASTM F1487;f) updated Annex H to improve clarity and make changes to the elevated component counts;g) updated Table G.1; andh) added a new annex on thermal comfort (Annex K).This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.Scope:1.1This Standard provides requirements for public-use playground equipment intended for use by children aged 18 months to 12 years, with anthropometric limits based on the 95th percentile.Notes:1)The level of challenge required and desired by children varies enormously with age, physical development, and emotional development; therefore, it is almost impossible to design a piece of playground equipment that meets the needs of all children. Children younger than 18 months and children aged 13 years and older do not usually use the equipment covered in this Standard.2)The sixth year of a child's life (when the child is five years old) is accepted as a transitional year. Consequently, the requirements in this Standard are split into two age groupings: 18 months to 5 years and 5 years to 12 years. The overlap of the 5-year-old child is deliberate and acknowledges the transitional nature of the sixth year of life.1.2This Standard takes into account the physical size, special characteristics, and developmental needs of children so that appropriate and challenging play experiences are provided.1.3This Standard applies to outdoor public-use playground equipment found at schools, parks, childcare facilities, institutions, multiple-family dwellings, private resorts and recreation developments, restaurants, and other areas of public use. See Clause 3.1.4This Standard contains recommendations on technical requirements and practices applicable to the design, manufacture/construction, installation, maintenance, and inspection of public-use playground equipment and its related spaces. The provider of each of these areas is responsible for meeting the applicable requirements and recommendations of each, but it is the owner/operator's responsibility to confirm if the requirements and recommendations of this Standard are followed.1.5This Standard is intended to promote and encourage the provision and use of playgrounds that are well designed, well maintained, innovative, and challenging and, in so doing, contribute to the development of healthy children.1.6The requirements of this Standard are intended to minimize the likelihood of life-threatening or serious injuries by mitigating the identified hazards typically presented in various types of playground environments and play components.Note:Annex J provides references for learning more about hazard identification and risk/benefit assessments and examples of playground-focused applications.1.7This Standard applies toa) public-use playgrounds built, protective surfacing installed, and public-use playground equipment manufactured after the date of publication of this edition; andb) additions to, and replacement parts for, public-use playgrounds installed after the date of publication of this edition.1.8This Standard provides requirements for outdoor public-use playground equipment in a playground that is provided for children for play, although, in some cases, this playground equipment was not originally produced for that purpose. Other objects or furnishings in a playground not primarily intended for play, such as fences, benches, tables, landscape elements, independent shade structures, borders intended to contain protective surfacing, and plant and natural materials, are not covered. Loose play materials are also not covered.Note:The equipment configurations shown in the figures in this Standard are examples only. Configurations other than those shown can be designed and built to meet the requirements specified in the clauses of this Standard.1.9This Standard does not apply to the following:a) sport, fitness, or gymnasium environments;b) slides that end in water;c) soft, contained play equipment that has controlled public access, such as that provided in commercial establishments (e.g., restaurants and department stores);d) play equipment intended for backyard use;e) amusement rides;f) family daycare as defined by provincial/territorial childcare regulations; andg) adventure playgrounds as defined in the following note.Note:Adventure playgrounds are a specific type of non-commercial playground. They are fenced and secured and have constant supervision during use by "playworkers". They are characterized by a developmental approach supporting free play; the absence of adult-built playground equipment; and the provision of construction materials, tools, and loose parts.1.10In this Standard, "shall" is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; "should" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; "may" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.1.11The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.Unless otherwise specified, a tolerance of ±2% is applied to each dimension presented in this Standard.
