B1.3.3 - Arena Points balustrade adheres with the minimum barrier height in respect
to the location and building type (As per Table 3.1 minimum barrier heights). Stair
barriers in areas likely to be frequently used by children under six years of age
require no gaps larger than 100mm and 150mm in the stair tread. Balustrade
geometry shall follow the dimensions illustrated barriers in figure 3.3 (Example of
barrier geometries).
B1.3.4 - Arena Points balustrade style loading aligns with the barrier loads set out in
AS/NZS 1170.1 Clause 3.6 and Table 3.3. The magnitude of the barrier loads that
need to be applied in the design depends specifically on the occupancy of that part of
the building or structure
B1.3.5 - Arena Points balustrade style displacement is recommended to not exceed
30mm under barrier and wind loads as described in B1/VM1.
B1.3.7 - Arena Points balustrade style fixings and connections are designed to be
suitable for the supporting structure (material and strength), the fixing (type, edge
distance and spacing) and to be adequate to resist balustrade loads.
B1.3.8 - Arena Points balustrade has a durability requirement of no less than 15
years.
B1.3.9 - Arena Points balustrade style has no sharp edges or projections than can
cause injury when restraining people. All extrusions have minor radii and any sharp
edges are to be removed.
B1.4.3 - Arena Points balustrade style uses aluminum that has been designed in
accordance with AS/NZS 1170.0:2002 Appendix B. All product is powder coated or
anodized to the specifiers standards to ensure the best durability of the product in the

Table 1) in the respective area installed.
F4.1.2.1 - Arena Points balustrade aligns with the barrier height and geometry as set
out in Table 1, Figure 2, figure 3 and figure 4. The barrier design ensures that,
anywhere over the full height of the barrier, a 100 mm diameter sphere cannot pass
through. In applications where the barrier is on a staircase or similar application, The
