14、 of this Technical Report is to provide replies to requests for interpretations of EN 14764:2005, City and trekking bicycles Safety requirements and test methods. 2 Agreed interpretations and no action decisions 2.1 Clause 4.3.1 Security of screws (interpretation) Question According to the text, loc
15、king devices are required for the following: suspension system; generator attachment; brake-mechanism to frame, fork or handlebar; mud-guards to frame or fork; saddle to seat-pillar (except in EN 14765). The requirement does not apply to: handlebar to handlebar stem; seat pillar to frame; luggage ca
16、rrier to frame or fork. What is a locking device (thread locking compound)? Interpretation The locking devices mentioned as examples in the standard shall not be considered to be an exhaustive list. Also other means of locking devices can be acceptable provided that they do not unintentionally becom
17、e unlocked. NOTE 1 Thread locking compound was discussed and considered as acceptable for locking of e.g. levers to handlebars. NOTE 2 This decision is also applicable to the corresponding clauses in the Technical Reports related to EN 14765, EN 14766 and EN 14781. REQ 004-10-2007 (Sweden) 2.2 Claus
18、e 4.6.4 Brake-block security test (no action) Question During the test the wheel will lock and the tyre will slip on the surface. A brake that does not fulfil this requirement will not fulfil the ordinary brake-performance test. The test can be carried out as follows PD CEN/TR 16041:2010CEN/TR 16041
19、:2010 (E) 7 apply the brakes according to the standard; rotate the wheel by hand forward and rearwards five times. Is the test meaningful? Should the testing procedure be revised? REQ 005-10-2007 (Sweden) Question Can brake pad security test be performed on a brake test machine? Is it acceptable if
20、the wheel skids? REQ 026-10-2007 (Germany), REQ 033-10-2007 (Germany) Reply The test mainly aims at checking if the brake-pad can be released when the bicycle is moved backwards with the brakes applied. This situation will not occur during the other brake tests. The test shall remain. NOTE This deci
21、sion is also applicable to the corresponding clauses in the Technical Reports related to EN 14765, EN 14766 and EN 14781. 2.3 Clauses 4.6.8.5.3.6 and 4.6.8.5.3.7 III a) Dry and wet brake performance (no action) Question What clamping force is required for machine testing? 4.6.8.5.3.6 says that suffi
22、cient force must be applied to prevent skidding. Then the test should stop if a lever force of 180 N is reached, or a braking force of 700 N but the test can be stopped if the wheel locks up (4.6.8.5.3.7 III a). Is there a difference in requirements between wet and dry? It is often difficult to prev
23、ent wheel skidding at high lever forces during wet testing (requires a very large clamping force). Reply There is no limit to the force. It can be increased to prevent skidding. NOTE This decision is also applicable to the corresponding clauses in the Technical Reports related to EN 14766 and EN 147
24、81. REQ 032-10-2007 (Germany) 2.4 Clause 4.7.2 Handlebar plugs (interpretation) Question Handlebar grips are no problem to test. For plugs it is difficult to apply 70 N without coming into contact with the handlebar. Should it be permitted e.g. to drill a hole in the plug? Interpretation Yes. PD CEN
25、/TR 16041:2010CEN/TR 16041:2010 (E) 8 NOTE This decision is also applicable to the corresponding clauses in the Technical Reports related to EN 14766 and EN 14781. REQ 008-10-2007 (Sweden) 2.5 Clause 4.8.x Frame Fatigue test with horizontal forces (no action) Question These clauses specify a bicycle
26、 frame fatigue test to be carried out by applying a horizontal force between the front and rear fork drop-outs. This test is not specified in EN 14764 although all the other tests applied to the frame are present. Could you confirm whether this is intentional or is it an error. Reply This is intenti
27、onal. The test is only applicable for certain shapes of frames in EN 14766 and EN 14781. REQ 002-11-2006 (UK) 2.6 Clause 4.10.3.1 Requirement (no action) Question The standard EN 14766 only specifies: “apply a static force of 370 N at one point on the rim“. On the contrary EN 14781 states: “once at
28、one spoke and once between two spokes“. We suggest to use the method mentioned in EN 14781 for all types of bicycles. Reply Standard is clear: the load is applied once at each location mentioned (once on the spoke and once between two consecutive spokes). The load is applied on the sprocket side. NO
29、TE This decision is also applicable to the corresponding clauses in the Technical Reports related to EN 14765, EN 14766 and EN 14781. REQ 051-10-2007 (France) 2.7 Clauses 4.10.4.4 & 4.10.5.2 Wheel retention/Quick-release devices (interpretation) Question The Note “It is recommended that it be possib
30、le“ is sometimes in the wheel retention clause and sometimes in the quick-release clause. In both cases the note is difficult to understand in relation to the text in clauses. Interpretation The present text is correct. The requirement applies to cases where secondary devices are not present. If the
31、y are present, the recommendation is that the same requirement is applied. PD CEN/TR 16041:2010CEN/TR 16041:2010 (E) 9 NOTE This decision is also applicable to the corresponding clauses in the Technical Reports related to EN 14766 and EN 14781. REQ 016-10-2007 (Sweden) 2.8 Clause 4.12.3 Stage 2: Tes
32、t method Radial force (interpretation) Question What happens if there is a mud flap on the fender that is made of rubber? Proposed answer The mudguards with mud flaps that we have tested have all been plastic guards. When we have tested them at a distance of 20 mm from the edge of the guard they hav
33、e not passed the requirements. We do not take the mud flap into account when deciding where to apply the force (we apply it 20 mm from the end of the actual guard) if the flap is designed and “angled“ so that the guard comes in contact with the wheel before the flap comes in contact with the wheel.
34、REQ 070-04-2008 (Germany) Question According to 4.12.3 of EN 14764:2005 and EN 14766 (Mudguards Stage 2: Test method radial force), the force shall be applied 20 mm from the free end of the mudguard. Many mudguards will have a rubber “mud flap“ attached to the free end of the mudguard. Where shall t
35、he force be applied if such a flap is mounted? REQ 072-05-2008 (Sweden) Interpretation Mudguards: The force shall be applied 20 mm from the end of the actual mudguard (not taking the flap into consideration). However, any mud-flap shall be mounted during the test. NOTE This decision is also applicab
36、le to the corresponding clause in the Technical Report related to EN 14766. 2.9 Clauses 4.14.6 and 4.14.7 Saddle and seat-pillar clamp Fatigue test (no action) Question 4.14.6 specifies a fatigue test to be carried out on the bicycle seat and seat-pillar clamp together. 4.14.7 specifies a similar fa
37、tigue test to be carried out on the seat-pillar alone. 4.14.7 includes a note stating that if a seat pillar survives the test specified in 4.14.6, there is no need to conduct the test specified in 4.14.7. The other EN bike standards include the same tests but the note regarding the seat pillar test
38、not being necessary is not present. Can you confirm if this note is intended to be present in all four standards? Reply The reason for the note in EN 14764 is that the forces in the two tests are the same. In the other standards this is not the case so the tests do not replace each other. REQ 001-11
39、-2006 (UK) PD CEN/TR 16041:2010CEN/TR 16041:2010 (E) 10 2.10 Clause 4.14.7.1 General (no action) Question In EN 14766 the following note is missing which is in the standard EN 14764: NOTE If a seat-pillar survives the test described in 4.14.6.3 with the test force applied 70 mm or more behind the ce
40、ntre of the clamp, there is no need to conduct this test. Reply This note is in EN 14764 because the forces in both tests 4.14.7.1 and 4.14.6.3 are the same. This is not the case in EN 14766 and therefore it is correct, that this note is not in EN 14766. NOTE This decision is also applicable to the
41、corresponding clause in the Technical Report related to EN 14766.
