Entertainment technology - Specifications for design and manufacture of aluminium and steel trusses

This European Standard defines the design and manufacture of aluminium and steel trusses used in entertainment technology.
Entertainment technology is an interdisciplinary field with specific technology and unique safety requirements. There are places of assembly, staging and production areas for events and theatrical productions. Such locations include but are not limited to theatres, multi-purpose halls, exhibition halls, film , television , photography  and radio studios as well as facilities in concert halls, museums, schools, bars, discotheques, open-air stages and other places for shows and events.
In some cases, atypical non-performance places are also used.
This standard does not cover individual, separate rigging hardware like shackles, wire ropes, slings and other lifting accessories.

Veranstaltungstechnik - Anforderungen an die Bemessung und Herstellung von Aluminium- und Stahltraversen

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Bemessung und Herstellung von Aluminium  und Stahltraversen fest, welche für den Einsatz in der Veranstaltungstechnik bestimmt sind.
Die Veranstaltungstechnik ist ein interdisziplinäres Gebiet mit spezieller Technik und besonderen Sicherheitsanforderungen. Veranstaltungstechnik kommt u. a. zum Einsatz bei Versammlungen, im Bühnenbau, in Veranstaltungs  und Produktionsstätten für szenische Darstellung, im Messebau. Zu den Einsatzorten gehören unter anderem Theater, Mehrzweckhallen, Ausstellungshallen, Film , Fernseh , Fotografie  und Radio Studios sowie Produktionsstätten in Konzerthallen, Museen, Schulen, Bars, Disko-theken, Freilichtbühnen und anderen Orten für szenische Darstellungen und Veranstaltungen.
In einigen Fällen werden auch untypische, nicht für Veranstaltungen übliche Orte genutzt.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für Anschlagmittel wie Schäkel, Drahtseile, Schlingen und andere Lastaufnahmemittel.

Technologies du spectacle - Spécification relatives à la conception et la fabrication des armatures en aluminium et acier

La présente norme définit la conception et la fabrication des poutres en aluminium et en acier utilisées dans les technologies du spectacle.
Les technologies du spectacle sont un domaine pluridisciplinaire associé à une technologie spécifique et à des exigences de sécurité uniques. Il existe des lieux de montage, des aires d’entreposage temporaire et des zones de production pour les événements et productions théâtrales. Ces endroits incluent notamment les théâtres, les salles polyvalentes, les halls d’exposition, les studios de cinéma, télévision, photographie et radio ainsi que les installations dans les salles de concert, les musées, les écoles, les bars, les discothèques, les scènes en plein air et autres lieux de spectacles et d’évènements.
Dans certains cas, des lieux atypiques non prévus à cet effet sont également utilisés.
La présente norme ne couvre pas le matériel de gréage individuel et fourni séparément, tel que les manilles, les câbles métalliques, les élingues et autres accessoires de levage.

Razvedrilna tehnologija - Specifikacije za projektiranje in proizvodnjo aluminijevih in jeklenih palic

Ta evropski standard opredeljuje projektiranje in proizvodnjo aluminijevih ter jeklenih palic, ki se uporabljajo v zabavni tehnologiji.
Zabavna tehnologija je interdisciplinarno področje s specifično tehnologijo in edinstvenimi varnostnimi zahtevami. Za prireditve in gledališke produkcije se uporabljajo območja zbiranja, odrske uprizoritve ter produkcije. Takšne lokacije med drugim vključujejo gledališča, večnamenske dvorane, razstavne dvorane ter filmske, televizijske, fotografske in radijske studie, pa tudi prostore v koncertnih dvoranah, muzejih, šolah, barih, diskotekah ter odre na prostem in druge lokacije, namenjene predstavam in dogodkom.
V nekaterih primerih se uporabljajo tudi neobičajne lokacije, ki niso namenjene uprizoritvam.
Ta standard ne zajema posameznih ločenih delov drogovja, kot so spone, žične vrvi, obese in drugi dvižni pripomočki.

Introduction
The object of this European Standard is to achieve a minimum level of quality in the design and
manufacture of aluminium and steel trusses in the entertainment industry.
Entertainment technology is an interdisciplinary field with specific technology and unique safety
requirements. Entertainment technology is used in places of assembly, staging and production areas for
events and theatrical productions. Such locations include but are not limited to theatres, multi-purpose
halls, exhibition halls, film-, television-, photography- and radio-studios as well as facilities in concert
halls, museums, schools, bars, discotheques, open-air stages and other places for shows and events.
In some cases, atypical non-performance places are also used.
A first attempt for European standardization work was realized in CWA 15902-2.
This European Standard has been drawn up according to past experience and risk analysis.
