PAS 888:2013 will be withdrawn on 31 December 2015 following the publication of BS EN 16630:2015

If you’re in the outdoor exercise industry, the safety of equipment users should be your number one priority. That’s why we’ve developed PAS 888 Publicly accessible outdoor exercise equipment – Specification.

The document addresses specifics, such as manufacturing materials, design specification, test methods and correct installation requirements for outdoor exercise equipment - so you can be assured your users achieve a safe workout.

A first for UK outdoor fitness

PAS 888 is the first UK specification for the full range of outdoor exercise and fitness equipment in what is a comparatively new industry.

It allows users to:

Manufacture outdoor exercise equipment based on widely accepted consensus
Verify your equipment meets the safety requirements of the PAS
Guarantee your equipment is in line with stringent safety requirements
Install, maintain or inspect equipment that promotes user safety and equipment longevity
Measure physical and theoretical testing of structural integrity
Avoid possible entrapment situations.

Compiled by industry professionals, requisitioning organizations, safety experts, personal trainers, PAS 888 brings you the most comprehensive specification on the market for outdoor exercise equipment.

It encompasses the whole of the industry including manufacturers, specifiers, installers, maintenance providers and inspectors, thereby allowing each to be verified as compliant to the document.

The document is important as, like fixed playground equipment, outdoor fitness equipment is being provided for installation in unsupervised, freely accessible areas and public locations. PAS 888 draws heavily upon the wealth of knowledge and experience available within both

BS EN 1176 and BS EN 957 and is significantly influenced by them.

PAS 888 was sponsored by The Great Outdoor Gym Company and the Steering Group consisted of Adidas, The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity, Dudley Primary Care Trust, Lappset, London Southbank University, UK active and Vision Redbridge.
