【国外标准】 Standard Specification for Elliptical Trainers

This specification establishes parameters for the design and manufacture of elliptical training equipment for use in an indoor environment or setting. It specifies fitness products for use only by an individual age 13 or older and is to be used in conjunction with Specification F2276 and Test Methods F2811. The goal of this specification is to promote proper design and manufacturing practices for elliptical training equipment so that the possibility of injury can be minimized when these products are used in accordance with the operational instructions. Equipment types covered by this specification are elliptical trainer with fixed handlebars (Type 1), elliptical trainer with moveable handlebars (Type 2), and elliptical trainer with moveable and fixed handlebars (Type 3). Design and construction requirements are for foot support (foot support loading), handlebars (handlebar loading), endurance, and adjustable guide systems.1.1 This specification establishes parameters for the design and manufacture of elliptical training equipment as defined in 3.1 for use in an indoor environment or setting.1.2 It is the intent of this standard to specify fitness products for use only by an individual age 13 or older.1.3 This standard is to be used in conjunction with Specification F2276 and Test Methods F2811. All specifications in this standard supersede those of Specification F2276 where applicable.1.4 This specification2 established additional requirements not set forth in the referenced ASTM standards for the design of commercial fitness equipment to increase access and user independence by people with functional limitations or impairments.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
