in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

SPECIFICATION FY)R
JUMPING AND VAULTING STANDARDS

0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 5 August 1969, after the draft finalized by the Sports Goods Sectional
Committee had been approved by the Consumer Products Division
Council.
0.2 Jumping and vaulting standards are essential equipment in jumping
and vaulting events. As the performance of an athlete is dependent to a
large extent on the equipment he uses and the equipment that is made
available in the competitions, formulation of a standard is considered very
essential.
0.3 This standard is one of a series of Indian Standards on sports goods
prepared on the recommendations of the Sports Goods Export Promotion
Council, New Delhi. Other standards published so far in the series are
given at P 8.
0.4 In preparing this standard considerable assistance has been derived
from the Handbook of the International Amateur Athletic Federation
( IAA-F ) , 1969-70.
0.5 Clauses 2.1,5.1 and 7.1 call for agreement between the purchaser and
the supplier orpermit the purchaser to use his option for selection to suit
his requirements.

0.6 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this

standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express-
ing the result of test, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960*.
The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should
be the same as that of the specified value in the standard.

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard lays down material, dimensional and manufacturing

requirements for jumping and vaulting standards.

*Rules for rounding off numerical vslue~ (revised ).

3
Ii3 t 5214-I!369 .::

2. MATERIAL

2.1 Uprights-These shall be manufactured from heartwood of reason-

ably straight-grained, sufficiently rigid and well-seasoned wood with
moisture content not exceeding 12 percent. The wood used shall be free
from brashness, any kind of decay, insect attack, sapwood, centre heart
(pith), knots, splits, warping or any other defect which is likely to impair
its serviceability. The species of timber shall be as agreed to between the
purchaser and the manufacturer. Subject to agreement between the
purchaser and the manufacturer heart wood of otherwise less rigid species
of timbers or sapwood of any species of timbers may be used provided the
timber is given suitable preservation treatment before use (see TS:
401-1961”).

2.1.1 Alternatively, suitable metallic sections may be employed provided

the cross section selected is sufficiently rigid (see also 5).

2.2 Cross-Bar - It may be manufactured from wood or metal, circular or

triangular in section. The wooden cross-bar shall also comply with the
requirements given in 2.1.

2.2.1 Supports in Case of High .$mp- Flat and rectangular metal sections.

2.2.2 Supports in Cbse of Pole Vault-Metal pegs without notches or

indentations of any kind, and of uniform thickness throughout.

2.3 Box for Pole Vault-This shall be manufactured from heart wood of
reasonably straight-grained, thrust bearing and well seasoned wood with
moisture content not exceeding I2 percent, and lined with metal sheet.
The wood used shall be free from brashness, any kind of decay, insect
attack, sapwood, centre heart (pith) knots, splits, warping or any other
defect which is likely to impair its serviceability. The recommended
species of timber are:

TRADE NAME ROTANEAL NAME

axlewood Anogeissus latifolia Wall.
benteak Lagerstroemia lanceolata Wall.
bijasal Pterocarpus marsupium Roxb.
dhaman Grewia sp.
Indian Oak Quercus Semicar$folia Smith.
( khadsu oak)
laurel Terminalia tomentosa Wight et Am.
sissoo Dalbergia sissoo Roxb.
tendu Diospyros melanoxylon Roxb.

*Code of practice for preservation of timber ( revised ).

 IS : 5214- 1969

2.3.1 Alternatively, the pole vaulting box may be made from any suitable
metal.
3. SHAPES AND DIMENSIONS
3.1 Shapes of supports for jumping and vaulting standards and pole vault-
ing box are shown in Fig. 1. These shall conform to the dimensions
indicated therein. Where these are not specified, these are left to the
discretion of the manufacturer.

4. MANUFACTURE
4.1 For the manufacture of jumping and vaulting standards any style or
kind of uprights or posts may be used provided they are rigid and conform
to the requirements stipulated in 2.1. In case of high jump, the uprights
shsll be sufficiently tall so as to exceed the maximum height to which the
cross har is capable of being raised by at least 10 cm. The cross bar used
may be of wood,‘metal or other suitable material, triangular or circular
in section. To avoid sharp edges, the edges of triangular bar shall be
slightly rounded.
In case of circular bar, the diameter shall be hetween 25 mm and 30
mm and in case of triangular bar each side shall measure 30 mm. In case
of circular cross bars at -ends, a flat surface of 30 x 150 mm shall he
obtained for the purpose of placing the bar on the supports on the uprights,
alternatively the bar may be split in the middle and joined with a metal
clip approximately 300 mm long.
4.1.1 The cross bar shall be between 3 640 mm and 4 000 mm in length
and weigh not more than 2.00 kg in case of high jump, and 3 860 mm and
4 520 mm in length and weigh not more than 2.26 kg in case of pole vault.

4.1.2 Supports for cross bar for high jumps shall be flat and rectangular
(SO x 40 mm). Each support shall face the opposite upright. The ends
of the cross bar shall rest on the supports in such a manner that the cross
bar falls to the ground either forwards or backwards when touched by the
competitor. Also, there shall be a clearance of 10 mm between the ends of
the cross bar and the uprights.
4.1.3 Pegs shall be used for supporting~the cross bar in case of pole vault.
The pegs shall be without notches or indentations of any kind, throughout
uniform in thickness and not more than 13 mm in diameter. These shall
he fixed on the uprights facing the forward direction and shall not extend
more that 75 mm from the uprights. The cross bar shall rest on them in
such a way that it shall fall to the ground easily in the direction of the
landing area when touched by a competitor or his pole.
NOTE-To lessen the chance of injury to a competitor by his falling on to the base
arrangement of the uprights as an alternative, the pegs for the cross bar may be
fixed to extension arms permanently attached to the uprights, thus allowing the
nprights, to be placed wider apart, without increasing the length of the cross bar
(SeeFig. 1 ).

mately. Further, the angle between the base and the stop board shall

5. WORKMANSHIP AND FINISH

5.1 All mild steel parts shall be painted to shades as required by the
purchaser. Prior to painting the parts shall be degreased, rust-proofed by
phosphating and suitably protected by anti-corrosive primer, either by

5.3 Welding shall fully penetrate and shall be sound in every detail and it
shall be finished flush. All sharp edges shall be rounded off.

5.4 Marking shall be permanent and legible.

5.5 Each support shall be stable enough to withstand normal usage during
competitions.

6. MARKING
6.1 Each jumping and vaulting standard shall carry the manufacturer’s
name, identification mark or registered trade-mark.
6.1.1 Jumping and vaulting standards may also be marked with the 1~1
Certification Mark.
NOTE -The use of the IS1 Certification Mark is governed by the provisions of
the Indian Standards Institution ( Certification Marks) Act, and the Rules and Regu_
lations made thereunder. Presence of this mark on products covered by an Indian
Standard conveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the
requirements of that standard, under a well-defined system of inspection, testing
and quality control during production. This system, which is devised and supervised
by IS1 and operated by the producer, has the further safeguard that the products as
actually marketed are continuously checked by ISI for conformity to the standard.
Details of conditions, under which a licence for the use of the ISI Certification
Mark may be granted to manufacturers or processors, may be obtained from the Indian
Standards Institution.
