Introduction
The object of this document is to achieve a minimum level of quality in the design and manufacture of
aluminium stage decks and frames 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.
This document has been developed based on the previous requirements of DIN 15921:2015-09.
This document has been drawn up according to past experience and risk analysis.
1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements for the design and manufacture of aluminium decks and frames
used in the entertainment industry.
This document does not apply to scaffolding used as substructures in stage and studio environments in
accordance with the EN 12810 series and the EN 12811 series or fairground rides in accordance with
EN 13814-1.
