DIN EN 15918:2017-05 EN 15918:2011+A2:2017 (E) 6 1 Scope This European standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for two track cycle trailers (i.

34、e. with one or two wheels) and their connecting devices. These cycle trailers are intended for the conveyance of cargo loads or up to two passive child passengers (i.e. not pedalling), both of whom are capable of sitting unaided and neither of whom weighs more than 22 kg. The maximum permitted weigh

35、t of such a cycle trailer, including cargo and/or passenger(s), does not exceed 60 kg. This standard is not applicable to trailer cycles (one or two-track trailer for the transportation of one or two pedalling passengers, usually children, with device for connection behind cycle) and for type L trai

36、lers for professional use or with a single wheel (single track trailer) according to Table 1. 2 Normative references !The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

47、. bEXAMPLE Type C2 is a two track cycle trailer for the transportation of children and luggage. 4.2 Sampling A single trailer shall be subjected to all of the following tests. For all cycle trailers, where the superstructures have a variable design, all combinations of equipment shall meet all relev

48、ant requirements. Accessories shall, if included by the manufacturer, be included in the tests. In cases where the test method allows an element of discretion on the part of the tester, the tester shall use his discretion to produce a situation which he considers most likely to result in a failure.

49、4.3 Order of tests The tests shall be performed in the following order: a) inspection test; b) dynamic test; c) static test. For the order of tests, see Annex C. 4.4 Tolerances Unless stated otherwise, the tolerances given in Table 2 shall apply to nominal values.
