19、This standard is applicable to inline-skates intended for users with a body mass of more than 20 kg and less than 100 kg. It specifies safety requirements for inline-skates, specifications for test methods, marking and information supplied by the manufacturer to reduce the risk of injuries to both t
20、hird parties and the user during their normal use. Inline-skates for use by a rider of less than 20 kg do not belong to the scope of this European Standard. They are toys. This Standard does not apply to roller skates according to EN 13899. NOTE Requirements for inline-skates from the orthopedic poi
21、nt of view such as lateral support or similar were not included in this standard because these requirements differ from wearer and therefore cannot be covered by a standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
