Edition date: 2026-10-07
In Force
Available languages: French, English, German
Summary: This document is applicable to UAS and groups of UAS used in staging and production facilities for events and theatrical productions (entertainment industry). Such facilities include: theatres, multi-purpose halls, exhibition halls; film, television and radio studios; concert halls, schools, bars, discotheques, open-air stages and other rooms for shows and events. This document is applicable to all UAS used in the entertainment industry, indoors and outdoors. This document includes UAS that are excluded from the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1058 and (EU) 2019/945 specifically Article 2, 4 which excludes “UAS intended to be exclusively operated indoors”. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant to UAS, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. The document specifies the additional hazards and safety requirements for UAS categorized under the “open” category, the “specific” category, and the “certified” category, in particular, those that occur from the specific characteristics of the payload and the environment in the entertainment industry. The principles in this document are also applicable to UAS based on new technologies or specially designed UAS which are not expressly mentioned here but which nevertheless operate in a similar manner or are meant for similar purposes to the equipment listed above.

Le présent document est applicable aux UAS et groupes d’UAS utilisés dans les installations de mise en scène et de production pour les événements et les productions théâtrales (industrie du spectacle). Ces installations comprennent: les théâtres, les salles polyvalentes, les salles d’exposition; les studios de cinéma, de télévision et de radio; les salles de concert, les écoles, les bars, les discothèques, les scènes en plein air et autres salles de spectacles et d’événements. Le présent document est applicable à tous les UAS utilisés dans l’industrie du spectacle, en intérieur et en extérieur. Le présent document inclut les UAS qui sont exclus des Règlements délégués (UE) 2020/1058 et (UE) 2019/945 de la Commission, en particulier l’Article 2, 4 qui exclut "les UAS destinés à être exclusivement exploités en intérieur". Le présent document traite de tous les phénomènes dangereux, situations dangereuses ou événements dangereux significatifs relatifs aux UAS, dans le cadre de l’utilisation prévue et dans des conditions d’utilisation anormale raisonnablement prévisible par le fabricant. Le document spécifie les phénomènes dangereux et les exigences de sécurité supplémentaires pour les UAS catégorisés dans la catégorie "ouverte", la catégorie "spécifique" et la catégorie "certifiée", en particulier ceux qui découlent des caractéristiques spécifiques de la charge utile et de l’environnement dans l’industrie du spectacle. Les principes du présent document sont également applicables aux UAS basés sur de nouvelles technologies ou aux UAS spécialement conçus qui ne sont pas expressément mentionnés ici, mais qui fonctionnent néanmoins de manière similaire ou sont destinés à des fins similaires aux équipements énumérés ci-dessus.

Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar für UAS und Gruppen von UAS, die in Bühnen- und Produktionsbereichen für Veranstaltungen und Theaterproduktionen (Unterhaltungsindustrie) eingesetzt werden. Beispiele für solche Bereiche sind: Theater, Mehrzweckhallen, Messehallen; Film-, Fernseh- und Rundfunkstudios; Konzerthallen, Schulen, Bars, Diskotheken, Open-Air-Bühnen und andere Räume, die für Shows und Veranstaltungen genutzt werden. Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar für alle UAS, die in der Unterhaltungsindustrie im Innen- und Außenbereich eingesetzt werden. Dieses Dokument ist auch anwendbar für UAS, die nicht von den Delegierten Verordnungen (EU) 2020/1058 und (EU) 2019/945 der Kommission abgedeckt sind, deren Geltungsbereich nach Artikel 2, Absatz 4, UAS, die ausschließlich für den Betrieb in Innenräumen bestimmt sind, nicht umfasst. Dieses Dokument behandelt alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen oder Gefährdungsereignisse, die für UAS bei bestimmungsgemäßer Verwendung und vom Hersteller vernünftigerweise vorhersehbarer Fehlanwendung relevant sind. Das Dokument legt die zusätzlichen Gefährdungen und sicherheitstechnischen Anforderungen für UAS fest, die der „offenen“ Kategorie, der „spezifischen“ Kategorie oder der „zertifizierten“ Kategorie zugeordnet sind, insbesondere solche, die sich aus den spezifischen Eigenschaften der Nutzlast und der Umgebung in der Unterhaltungsindustrie ergeben. Die in diesem Dokument enthaltenen Grundsätze sind auch für UAS anwendbar, die auf neuen Technologien basieren, und Sonderausführungen von UAS, die hier nicht ausdrücklich erwähnt sind, jedoch auf ähnliche Art funktionieren oder für ähnliche Zwecke wie die oben aufgeführten Systeme vorgesehen sind.
