Overview

The provision of water slide installations is increasing, also are the 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. A standard or 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. This standard is applicable to water slides as defined in EN 1069-1:2017, 3.3. This European Standard establishes the instructions for use, operation and maintenance as well as the documentation and commissioning of water slides. Committee NA 112-05-01 AA "Schwimmbadanlagen und -geräte" ("Swimming pool facilities and equipment") at DIN is responsible for this standard.
