These guidelines pertain to any elementsintended to be used in the performance of the sports includingskateboarding, inline skating, and BMX biking. Items such asfencing, lighting, and operational structures are not intended tobe a part of this guide.1.2 This guide applies to above-ground (indoor/outdoor)skatepark elements, intended for recreational use.1.3 The text of this standard references notes and footnoteswhich provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and f i gures) shall not be consideredas requirements of the standard.1.4 Tolerances – General Measures, Tolerances, andConversions—The general dimensional tolerances for thisspecif i cation (unless otherwise noted) are as follows:Dimension ToleranceX in. or ft ±0.5 in. or ftX.X in. or ft ±0.05 in. or ftX.XX in. or ft ±0.005 in. or ftN OTE 1—These tolerances still apply to a dimension even when termslike greater than, less than, minimum, or maximum are used.1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.N OTE 2—The conversion factor from inch-pound to SI units is 1 in. =25.4 mm, and 1 lb = 0.45359 kg.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.7 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.2.
