scope:

This International Standard specifies general safety requirements and test methods for stationary training equipment during use unless modified in the other parts of this International Standard. This International standard also covers environmental aspects. It also specifies a classification system (see Clause 4). This International Standard is applicable to all stationary training equipment as defined in 3.1. This includes equipment for use in training areas of organizations such as sport associations, educational establishments, hotels, sport halls, clubs, rehabilitation centres and studios (classes S and I) where access and control is specifically regulated by the owner (person who has the legal responsibility), equipment for domestic use (class H) and other types of equipment including motor driven equipment as defined in 3.1. If a user has special needs (medical rehabilitation, disability) it is essential that the owner (the person with legal responsibility) conducts a specific risk assessment to determine safe use and if necessary to insure trained staff are available to supervise the activity. The requirements of a specific standard take priority over the corresponding requirements of this general International Standard. If the intended use of the stationary training equipment is for children under 14 years other standards should be applied unless such stationary training equipment is intended for educational purposes in schools and other pedagogical contexts for children under the surveillance of a qualified adult instructor. This International Standard does not apply to stationary training equipment intended for outdoor use without supervision e. g. freely accessible. NOTE 1 In the event that the stationary training equipment is intended for medical purposes, attention is drawn to the requirements of Council Directive of 14 June 1993 on the approximation of the laws of the CEN Member States relating to medical devices 93/42/EEC in addition to the requirements of this International Standard. NOTE 2 In the event that the stationary training equipment is intended for children purposes, attention is drawn to the requirements of Council Directive of 18 June 2009 on the approximation of the laws of the CEN Member States relating to safety of toys 2009/48/EC in addition to the requirements of this International Standard. NOTE 3 In the event that the stationary training equipment is designed to be accessible to people with disability, attention is drawn to any relevant national guidelines. NOTE 4 Concerning flammability attention is drawn to national regulations. NOTE 5 In the event that the stationary training equipment contains environmental critical components, attention is drawn to the Directives 2006/121/EC (REACH), 2002/96/EC (WEEE), 2002/95/EC (ROHS) and 2006/66/EC (Battery Directive) of the European Parliament and of the Council. NOTE 6 This standard does not intend to give all the information necessary to place products in the market, where there may be e. g. different national requirements. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to gain this information and to comply with any such regulations where applicable.
