Sports and recreational facilities — Probes for entrapment/entanglement on playground equipment — Collection of data

This document compiles a collection of different probes/gauges for assessing common playground equipment safety performance to eliminate known safety hazards such as entrapment and entanglement hazards on playground, playspaces, and associated equipment used in different countries/regions around the world. It also explains some historical content of origins, the purpose and some rationales for the dimensions and shape of each of those probes. These test probes and gauges, their dimensions and related historic rationale for their existence are applicable to playground equipment manufacturers, designers, installers, assemblers, owners, operators and inspectors alike and are necessary tools to the reduction of serious, life-threatening and debilitating injuries to the public playground intended users.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

Introduction
This document summarizes information about different regional and national standards on playground
safety in order to provide a reference point for different types of entrapments and probes/gauges.
Some standards apply to entrapment tests universally, regardless of the intended user age group, on the
basis that it is very difficult to control users when products are installed in a free access environment.
Other standards apply to specific entrapment probe tests related to specific intended user age groups.
InFor cases where user age references are provided in the standard, see Annex Ain Annex A to
Annex HAnnex H.

Collection of data
1 Scope
This document compiles a collection of different probes/gauges for assessing common playground
equipment safety performance to eliminate known safety hazards such as: entrapment and entanglement
hazards on playground, playspaces, and associated equipment used in different countries/regions
around the world. It also explains some historical content of origins, the purpose and some rationales for
the dimensions and shape of each of those probes.
NOTE These test probes and gauges, their dimensions and related historic rationale for their existence
are of significant valueapplicable to playground equipment, manufacturers, designers, installers,
assemblers, owners, operators and inspectors alike and are necessary tools to the reduction of serious,
life-threatening and debilitating injuries to the public playground intended users.

6 Summary
This “Tool Boxtool box” of probes and gauges can continue to be a collaborative effort and can be used to
assist Standards Development Organizationsstandards development organizations working in
playgrounds and related activities around the world. To ensure accuracy in measuring for
complianceconformity, the probes and gauges should beare calibrated by the manufacturer at the time of
purchase and dimensions should beare checked for accuracy by the operator at least once every 12
months.
Having a consolidated document listing similar probes and gauges used in 9 different national and
regional standards, as well as probes and gauges that are different amongst standards, can assist
standards writers, designers, instructors, and manufacturers. It will helphelps those wishing to produce
products for a variety of international markets and enableenables them to easily ascertain the differences
between multiple standards.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed

Introduction
This document summarizes information about different regional and national standards on playground
safety in order to provide a reference point for different types of entrapments and probes/gauges.
Some standards apply to entrapment tests universally, regardless of the intended user age group, on the
basis that it is very difficult to control users when products are installed in a free access environment.
Other standards apply to specific entrapment probe tests related to specific intended user age groups.
For cases where user age references are provided in the standard, see Annex A to Annex H.

TECHNICAL REPORT ISO/DTR 24666:2023(E)
Sports and recreational facilities — Probes for
entrapment/entanglement on playground equipment —
Collection of data
1 Scope
This document compiles a collection of different probes/gauges for assessing common playground
equipment safety performance to eliminate known safety hazards such as entrapment and entanglement
hazards on playground, playspaces, and associated equipment used in different countries/regions
around the world. It also explains some historical content of origins, the purpose and some rationales
for the dimensions and shape of each of those probes.
These test probes and gauges, their dimensions and related historic rationale for their existence
are applicable to playground equipment manufacturers, designers, installers, assemblers, owners,
operators and inspectors alike and are necessary tools to the reduction of serious, life-threatening and
debilitating injuries to the public playground intended users.
2 Normative references

6 Summary
This “tool box” of probes and gauges can continue to be a collaborative effort and can be used to
assist standards development organizations working in playgrounds and related activities around the
world. To ensure accuracy in measuring for conformity, the probes and gauges are calibrated by the
manufacturer at the time of purchase and dimensions are checked for accuracy by the operator at least
once every 12 months.
Having a consolidated document listing similar probes and gauges used in 9 different national and
regional standards, as well as probes and gauges that are different amongst standards, can assist
standards writers, designers, instructors, and manufacturers. It helps those wishing to produce
products for a variety of international markets and enables them to easily ascertain the differences
between multiple standards.
