EN71-8 6.7 Measurements of sliding and run-out sections on slides (see 4.5.3)
6.7.1 Measurement of inclination of the sliding section on slides (see 4.5.3 f))
The angle of inclination shall be measured at the centreline of the sliding section.
Place a straight rod or bar of length 200 mm and a width of 30 mm along the centreline of the slide and
measure the angle of inclination.
Repeat this measurement by moving the rod or bar along the centre line of the sliding section.
Determine whether the angle of inclination is greater than 60° to the horizontal at any point on the sliding
section of the slide.
6.7.2 Measurement of the minimum angle between the sliding section and the run-out section on
slides (see 4.5.3 g))
Place the inclination device described in Figure 25 at the end of the centre line of the run-out section as
shown in Figure 26 and move it towards the centre line of the sliding section until both rods of the inclination
device give the smallest angle between the sliding section and the run-out section.
Measure the angle between both rods of the inclination device.
Determine whether this minimum angle exceeds the values given in Table 1.
