1、Designation: F1625 00 (Reapproved 2018) An American National StandardStandard Specification and Test Method forRear-Mounted Bicycle Child Carriers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1625; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in
2、 the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers child carriers that mount to therear of bicycles in order
3、 to transport children or accessory loadswith a maximum weight of 18 kg (40 lb). This specificationdoes not apply to child carriers that mount in front of thehandlebars, or to the top tube, head tube, or behind thehandlebars in front of the rider.NOTE 1In the instructions, the manufacturer must warn
4、 the rider thata load added to the bicycle will lessen the stability and alter the ridingcharacteristics of the bicycle. This complication is particularly importantwhen riding with children who are near the high end of the weight range.1.2 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest
5、 method portions, Sections 5, 6, and 7, of this specification:This standard does not purport to address all of the safetyconcerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety,health, and environmental practices and determine t
6、he appli-cability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.3 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recom-mendations is

20、nd secure procedure. If tools are requiredfor mounting, mounting must be accomplished with commonhousehold tools, and must offer no reasonable opportunity ofincorrect mounting.4.2.4 Test CriteriaAfter testing in accordance with Sec-tions 5 and 6 of this specification the child carrier shall showno v
21、isible signs of fracture, nor any deformation or displace-ment that would impair the function of the child carrier or thebicycle, as defined by the allowable amounts set forth inSections 5 and 6.4.3 Security of Seat Assembled to Bicycle:4.3.1 If the means of attachment of the carrier to the bicyclei
22、s within easy reach of the child, and also is of a type that thechild may be able to loosen, then there shall be a secondarydevice to restrict movement of the carrier, either by providingan additional and independent attachment or by ensuring thatloosening the primary attachment will not fully relea

Environmental Temperature Tests5.1 GeneralPerform the tes
27、ts in this section on all carriersto determine whether there are any adverse affects on thestrength and function of the carrier under conditioned environ-ments.5.1.1 Conduct these environmental temperature tests priorto the dynamic load tests that follow.5.2 Resistance to High Temperatures:5.2.1 Sto
28、re the carrier for at least 4 h, but not more than 24h at a temperature of 50 6 3C (122 6 5F).5.2.2 Examine the carrier for damage or distortion thatcould affect the safety or function of the carrier.5.2.3 Damage or distortion that could affect the safety orfunction of the carrier constitutes failur

30、 seating area of the carriershell at a height of 1.00 6 0.01 m (39.37 6 0.39 in.) above aconcrete floor. The bottom of the fixture has a pivoting devicethat allows the fixture to rotate until it contacts the floor. Themass of the drop arm of the fixture is 11 + 0.5 0 kgNOTE 1Figures are intended onl
31、y to indicate one possible configura-tion for test fixtures and are not intended to be adequate for fabrication.FIG. 1 Child Carrier Drop Test FixtureF1625 00 (2018)2(24 + 1.0 0 lb). Within 1 min after removal from the condi-tioned environment, release the carrier under gravity from restto one side
32、or the other onto a flat concrete surface, as if thebicycle to which it was mounted fell over.5.3.3 Examine the carrier for damage or distortion thatcould affect the safety or function of the carrier.5.3.4 Damage or distortion that could affect the safety orfunction of the carrier constitutes failur

36、5 0 kg (24 + 1.0 0 lb).Within 1 min after removal from the conditioned environment,release the carrier under gravity from rest to one side or theother onto a flat concrete surface, as if the bicycle to which itwas mounted fell over.5.5.3 Examine the carrier for damage or distortion thatcould affect
37、the safety or function of the carrier.5.5.4 Damage or distortion that could affect the safety orfunction of the carrier constitutes failure of the test.6. Strength: Dynamic Load Tests6.1 PurposeThere are three reasons for the dynamic loadtests: (a) to determine whether fasteners become loosened byvi
38、bration; (b) to determine whether the carrier shifts in positionduring the tests; and (c) to determine whether damage or cracksoccur anywhere in the carrier or the mounting system as aresult of the tests.6.2 Vibration Test:6.2.1 General Test Method:6.2.1.1 Mount the carrier securely to the fixture d
39、epicted inFig. 2. The fixture is part of an apparatus that is capable ofproviding the motion described in 6.2.2 and 6.2.4.6.2.1.2 Load the carrier with a system that has a mass of18+10kg(40+20lb), such as sand bags. The center ofgravity of the added mass shall be no more than 152 mm (6.0in.) above t
40、he bottom surface of the seating area. Secure theload with the retention system provided with the carrier. Markthe position of the carrier on the fixture, and the positions of theclosures on all straps.6.2.2 Vertical Vibration TestThe fixture depicted in Fig. 2is set up so that the total vertical mo
41、vement at the top of thevertical tube is 10 mm (0.39 in.), consisting of 5 mm up and 5mm down from the central position in non-sinusoidal motion.The “bump” is an instantaneous rise and instantaneous fallfrom a 1-in. (25-mm) wide cleat. An actual 19-in. (480-mm)road bicycle frame or a 16-in. (410-mm)
42、 mountain bicycleframe can be attached to the mounting structure indicated in thefigure. Adjust the motor so that the rate of complete verticalcycles is 7 Hz (420 cycles per minute). Continue the test for atotal of 42 000 complete vertical cycles.6.2.3 InspectionInspect the carrier for damage,deform
43、ation, and displacement. Displacement at any attach-ment point where the carrier is attached to the bicycle shall notexceed 10 mm (0.394 in.), and no cracking or splitting of anycarrier components shall have occurred.6.2.4 Lateral Vibration TestIn this test, tilt the carrier withthe18+10-kg (40+20-l
44、b) load sinusoidally from side toside, simulating a bicyclist riding up a steep hill that requiresthe rider to stand and pedal vigorously.The fixture has a systemthat tilts it alternately, in sinusoidal fashion, from center to 8on either side of center, at a frequency of 0.5 Hz (30cycles/min). The f
45、ixture is of such size that the lowest level ofthe carrier seat is 800 mm (31.5 in.) above the rotational axis.Tilt the system through 50 000 complete cycles.6.2.5 InspectionInspect the carrier for damage,deformation, and displacement. Displacement at any attach-ment point where the carrier is attac
46、hed to the bicycle shall notexceed 10 mm (0.394 in.). No cracking or splitting of anycarrier components shall have occurred.NOTE 1Figures are intended only to indicate one possible configura-tion for test fixtures and are not intended to be adequate for fabrication.FIG. 2 Child Carrier Vibration and

Additional Test Criteria7.1 FlammabilityAll components of the carrier shall meetthe flammability requirements defined in Title 16, Code ofFederal Regulations, Part 1500.44.7.2 Sharp PointsAll components of the carrier shall meetthe requirements of Title 1
48、6, Code of Federal Regulations, Part1500.48, regarding sharp points that could cause puncture orlaceration injuries.7.3 Sharp EdgesAll components of the carrier shall sat-isfy the requirements of Title 16, Code of Federal Regulations,Part 1500.49, regarding sharp edges that could cause lacerationor
49、avulsion injuries.7.4 Ambient Drop Test:7.4.1 Place the carrier in ambient conditions for a period ofat least 4 h.7.4.2 Mount the carrier on the test fixture depicted in Fig. 1that holds the lowest point of the underside of the seating areaof the carrier shell at a height of 1.00 6 0.01 m (39.376 0.39in.) above a concrete floor. The bottom of the fixture has apivoting device that allows the fixture to rotate until it contactsthe floor. The mass of the drop arm of the fixture is 11 + 0.5 0kg (24 + 1.0 0 lb).
