DIN EN 13200-1:2012-11

This European Standard has been prepared in order to specify the general design criteria for spectator facilities, with the purpose of enabling their functionality. Within this standard, minimum and recommended values for dimensions are occasionally presented. Attention is drawn to the fact that in certain countries additional/different requirements may be applicable due to existing national regulations or equivalent. In certain countries, the minimum number of spectators is related to the application of this standard. This European Standard specifies design and management requirements for spectator facilities at permanent or temporary entertainment venues including sport stadia, sport halls, indoor and outdoor facilities for the purpose of enabling their functionality. This European Standard is not applicable to other permanent venues such as theatres, cinemas, opera houses, auditoriums, lecture halls and similar places where persons congregate. This standard differs from DIN EN 13200-1:2004-05 as follows: a) the title of the standard has been changed to read "Spectator facilities - Part 1: General characteristics for spectator viewing area"; b) complete technical and editorial revision; c) Terms and definitions have been revised; d) a new clause 4 "Materials and technical installations" has been included; e) the former clause 6 "Technical equipment" has been incorporated in clause 4. This document (EN 13200-1:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 315 "Spectator facilities", the secretariat of which is held by UNI (Italy). The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 005-01-34 AA "Zuschauertribünen (SpA zu CEN/TC 315)" ("Spectator facilities (national mirror committee for CEN/TC 315)").
