BS EN 1069‑2 discusses water slides with a focus on instructions. BS EN 1069‑2 is the second part of the BS EN 1069 multi-series that is applicable to water slides as defined in EN 1069-1:2017. BS EN 1069‑2 establishes the instructions for use, operation, and maintenance as well as the documentation and commissioning of water slides.
BS EN 1069‑2 on water slides is useful for:
The provision of water slide installations is increasing, also are concerns over the number of injuries resulting from the use of water slides, many of which are of a serious nature. Many of the injuries have resulted from foreseeable circumstances and given proper knowledge and control, could have been prevented.
BS EN 1069‑2 provides the users with a code of practice for instructions and the operation of water slides is seen as the most appropriate way to achieve an improvement in safety. BS EN 1069‑2 establishes safety requirements and design instructions to serve anyone involved with water slides, especially designers, manufacturers, operators, and users, to ensure safe and more efficient products.
