As an environmentally friendly and healthy way to travel, bicycles have become more and more popular in recent years. It is usually driven by the force of the cyclist's feet on the pedals and is often referred to as a "bicycle".
In June 2014, the bicycle safety standard ISO 4210:2014 and the children's bicycle safety standard ISO 8098:2014 were officially announced on the ISO official website, which will replace the old ISO 4210:1996 and ISO 8098:2002 standards. ISO 8098:2014 specifies the safety performance requirements and test methods for fully assembled or partially assembled bicycles intended for use by children. The standard defines a children's bicycle as: "A bicycle with a saddle height greater than 435mm but less than 635mm, driven by rear wheels." "The standard adds 15 new test requirements, introduces a number of fatigue tests, and modifies 25 test methods. In particular, the newly added toxicity safety requirements, fork bending fatigue test, foot pedal impact test and crank mechanism fatigue test have put forward a more severe test for stroller companies and related parts manufacturers.
ISO 4210:2014 specifies safety performance requirements and test methods for fully assembled or partially assembled bicycles. The standard is divided into 9 sections, and bicycles are divided into 4 categories by the high saddle height of the bicycle, as follows:
1. City bike: high saddle height 635mm and above;
2. Young people's bicycles: high saddle height 635mm and above but less than 750mm;
3. Mountain bike: high saddle height 635mm and above;
4. Racing vehicle: high saddle height 635mm and above; In addition, ISO 4210:2014 added 11 new testing requirements and modified 35 testing methods.
Bicycle product testing and certification process:
1. Project application - submit the testing application to the testing institution.
2. Data preparation - according to the testing requirements, the enterprise prepares relevant documents.
3. Product testing - the company will send the samples to be tested to the laboratory for testing.
4. Preparation of reports - certification engineers prepare reports according to qualified test data.
5. Submit for review - the engineer will review the complete report.
6. Issue a certificate - after the audit is correct, the certificate will be issued.
