Article R322-21 of the French Sports Code

As soon as non-mobile equipment is placed on the market, it must be fitted with an installation device to ensure that it is permanently attached.

As soon as mobile equipment is placed on the market, it must be fitted with a permanent securing or counterbalancing device that is integral with the structure.

The attachment or counterweight device must prevent the equipment from falling, overturning or tipping over under reasonably foreseeable conditions of use. In particular, it must ensure the stability of the equipment in the event of suspension or swinging from the top bar of the football, handball or hockey goal or from the basket of the basketball goal. The fixing or counterweight device and the equipment must be able to withstand these stresses without deformation or breakage.

Article R322-21

Dès leur mise sur le marché, les équipements non mobiles sont munis d’un dispositif d’installation permettant d’assurer leur fixation permanente.

Dès leur mise sur le marché, les équipements mobiles sont munis d’un dispositif, permanent et solidaire de la structure, de fixation ou de contrepoids.

Le dispositif de fixation ou de contrepoids doit permettre d’éviter la chute, le renversement ou le basculement de l’équipement dans des conditions raisonnablement prévisibles d’utilisation. Il doit notamment assurer la stabilité de l’équipement dans le cas de suspension et de balancement à la barre supérieure de la cage de but de football, de handball, de hockey ou au panier du but de basket-ball. Le dispositif de fixation ou de contrepoids et l’équipement doivent pouvoir résister à ces sollicitations sans subir de déformation ou de rupture.
