EN 750 was produced as a result of international discussions in which the United Kingdom took an active part. The terms of the United Kingdom's membership in CEN require BSI to publish this standard as a British Standard despite strong reservations regarding the standard. The UK voted against this draft for the following technical reason. The requirements in 3.3 and 3.4 should apply to all hockey goals where compliance with EN 750 is claimed.

Table 1. Types TypeDescription 1Hockey goal with ground sockets 2Freestanding hockey goal 3.2 Dimensions Hockey goals shall comply with the dimensions shown in figure 1. One hockey goal consists of: ± the goal frame (2 uprights and 1 crossbar) including net fixings (and ground sockets for type 1); ± the backboards (1 rear backboard, 2 side backboards); ± 2 net supporting brackets; ± 2 bottom side bars; ± anti-tilting devices (at least one at each side) (for type 2); ± 1 bottom back bar; ± 1 net. 3.3 Material The goal frame and the backboards may be made of timber, steel, light metal or plastic material, provided the requirements of this standard are fulfilled. Net supporting brackets and bottom side and back bars shall be made of light metal and/or steel protected against corrosion (e.g. hot-galvanized, powder coated or painted). NOTE. Synthetic net yarn and net head lines should contain a minimum of 2,5 % UV-stabilizer. 3.4 Design 3.4.1 Goal frame The construction shall be sufficiently secure to withstand the stresses occurring during a game and during transport. The latter requirement is fulfilled when the corner section of the goal frame is not deformed or damaged after testing according to 5.2. The goal frame shall be white in colour. 3.4.2 Nets 3.4.2.1 Dimensions The net dimensions shall comply with table 2. The net meshes shall be square with filaments running horizontally and vertically.

The accuracy of the claim is therefore solely the responsibility of the person making the claim. Such a declaration should not be confused with third party certification of conformity, which can also be desirable. 6 Assembly instructions The manufacturer shall provide written instructions for assembly and installation. It shall be pointed out in the assembly instructions that any goals that are not being used at the moment should be secured again
