This Standard was prepared by Standards Australia Committee CS-005, Playground Equipment to supersede, in part, AS 1924.21981, Playground equipment for parks, schools and domestic use, Part 2: Design and constructionSafety aspects. This Standard incorporates Amendment No. 1 (October 2006) and Amendment No. 2 (April 2008). The changes required by the Amendment are indicated in the text by a marginal bar and amendment number against the clause, note, table, figure or part thereof affected. This Standard is Part 2 of the following series: AS 4685 4685.1 4685.2 4685.3 4685.4 4685.5 4685.6 Playground equipment Part 1: General safety requirements and test methods Part 2: Particular safety requirements and test methods Part 3: Particular safety requirements and test methods Part 4: Particular safety requirements and test methods Part 5: Particular safety requirements and test methods Part 6: Particular safety requirements and test methods
This Standard must be used in conjunction with AS 4685.1, which comprises requirements and test methods that apply to all playground equipment. Where swings are combined with other items of childrens playground equipment, the relevant Standards on the other items of equipment apply, in addition to this Standard. This Standard is based on, but not equivalent to, EN 1176-2:2003, Playground equipment, Part 2: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for swings, which was prepared by CEN/TC 136 Sports Playgrounds and Recreational Equipment. The terms normative and informative have been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which they apply. A normative appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an informative appendix is only for information and guidance. This Standard will apply from the date of publication. However the committee has decided that, to avoid excessive costs to manufacturers and operators, the superseded Standards, AS 1924.1 and AS 1924.2, will continue as an alternative for a period of one year after the publication date.

STANDARDS AUSTRALIA Australian Standard Playground equipment Part 2: Particular safety requirements and test methods for swings
This Standard specifies particular safety requirements for swings intended for permanent installation for use by children. The requirements of this Standard apply in addition to the general requirements for playground equipment set out in AS 4685.1.
This Standard is not applicable to motor driven swings or motor driven swing type equipment. See AS 3533. 1.2 OBJECTIVE The objective of this Standard is to minimize risk of injury to children using playgrounds by providing internationally aligned specific requirements for playground equipment. The Standard is intended for use by designers, consultants, manufacturers and installers of playground equipment as well as the operators, maintenance professionals and inspectors of playgrounds. 1.3 APPLICATION The same hazards face a child from playground equipment whether it is produced by a commercial organization, such as a specialist manufacturer, a voluntary group, such as a service group or a parent organization, or a single individual. The requirements of this Standard therefore apply to all playgrounds and playground equipment. 1.4 REFERENCED DOCUMENTS The following documents are referred to in this Standard: AS 4685 4685.1 Playground equipment Part 1: General safety requirements and test methods Amusement rides and devices (series) Playground surfacingSpecifications, requirements and test methods
