BS EN 14619:2015EN 14619:2015 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard applies to
19、 kick scooters which can only be propelled by the muscular activity of a user with a body mass of more than 20 kg and less than 100 kg. It specifies safety requirements, test methods, marking and information supplied by the manufacturer to reduce the risk of injuries to both third parties and the us
20、er during normal use. Kick scooters for use by users of less than 20 kg do not belong to the scope of this European Standard. They are toys. It should be noted that there are two types of scooters for the weight group 20 kg to 50 kg those classified as sports equipment for use on public roads and pa
21、th ways (this European Standard) and those classified as toys for domestic use (according to EN 71-1). 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

28、p to 50 kg. The maximum height of the steering column is 80 cm. 4.3 Requirements 4.3.1 Protruding components and edges All protruding components and edges on the kick scooter that can come into contact with body parts during normal use shall be deburred or constructed in such a way as to prevent inj
29、ury. The test shall be carried out according to 5.8. Rigid and protruding parts that may cause entrapment or injuries shall be protected. This protection shall not come loose during tests performed according to Clause 5. The ends of the handles shall be covered. To prevent from injuries, ends of han
30、dlebar have to withstand the test according to 5.4, Figure 3, and remain free of sharp edges. 4.3.2 Parts moving against each other 4.3.2.1 General The requirements specified in 4.3.2.2 to 4.3.2.5 shall be tested according to 5.8. 4.3.2.2 Distance between the parts 4.3.2.2.1 General Below requiremen
31、ts do not have to be considered if the customer acts intentionally close to and directly on the component and hurts himself. Then the injury would be caused by his own strength and could be stopped by himself immediately. 4.3.2.2.2 Class A The distance between accessible moveable parts shall be eith
32、er smaller than 5 mm or wider than 18 mm in any position. This requirement does not apply to the wheels/spokes/wheel support system or the braking/rear brake system, if provided. 4.3.2.2.3 Class B a) The space between moving elements, capable of injuring fingers, shall also allow a 12 mm rod to be i
33、nserted if it allows a 5 mm rod to be inserted. b) Accessible openings in moving elements capable of shearing a finger shall not allow the insertion of a 5 mm rod. This requirement does not apply to the wheels/spokes/wheel support system or the braking/rear brake system, if provided. BS EN 14619:201
34、5EN 14619:2015 (E) 7 4.3.2.3 Folding mechanism Any folding mechanism shall be designed to fix the kick scooter for use in a simple, rigid and safe way. It shall resist all tests without damage. Fixing components should not have contact with the front wheel in any position. An inadvertent unlocking o
35、f the mechanism shall be impossible. If the distance as specified in 4.3.2.2 is not met, other designs to protect the user from unintentional injuries shall be provided. 4.3.2.4 Sliding mechanism others than the steering system Sliding mechanisms shall be protected against unintentional opening or c
36、ollapse during normal use. 4.3.2.5 Springs Springs shall not be accessible if the gap between two consecutive spirals or turns allows a 5 mm diameter rod to be inserted on a 10 mm depth. 4.3.3 Steering system The steering system shall be constructed: a) to avoid contact between wheels and other part
37、s of the kick scooter during usual riding; b) that the length adjustment fixing avoids unintentional opening; 1) For class B, the height shall be adjustable with the use of a tool or have at least one main locking device and one secondary locking device of which at least one shall automatically be e
38、ngaged when the height is adjusted. c) that the steering column, if it is sliding, shall be adjusted for height, and have a permanent mark that indicates the minimum insertion depth of the column; this mark shall be positioned at a distance equivalent to and not less than two and a half times the di
39、ameter of the column and shall not affect its strength; d) that the end of the handlebar is equipped with hand grips or plugs, which withstand a tensile load of 70 N in the loosening direction. When tested according to Clause 5, there shall be no break or functional damage of the steering system. 4.
40、3.4 Deck The deck shall resist all tests specified in Clause 5 without any functional damage. It shall be equipped with an anti-slide surface with an area of at least 200 cm2. 4.3.5 Bearings The bearings shall be designed in such a way as to be functional after performing all the tests according to
41、Clause 5. They shall be constructed in such a way as to permit servicing according to the information supplied by the manufacturer without impairment of their operational safety. 4.3.6 Axles The axles shall be attached and designed in such a way as to ensure that they cannot become loose, displaced
42、or deformed during use. The wheels shall be secured on the axles against unintentional loosening. These requirements are considered to be fulfilled if the axles are not loosened, deformed or displaced to such BS EN 14619:2015EN 14619:2015 (E) 8 an extent as to impair proper functioning, and the whee
43、ls have not become loose after the tests according to Clause 5. 4.3.7 Wheels The wheels shall be constructed from non-slip material. This requirement is considered to be fulfilled if a coefficient of adhesion, 0, of at least 0,30 is achieved in the test according to 5.3. After the tests according to
44、 Clause 5, the wheels shall not show tearing. They shall not have further loosened or been deformed to the extent that there exists a risk of their becoming locked. If a rear wheel and its axle differ from those at the front, they shall be tested according to 5.7 in an adapted way. The diameter of t
45、he front wheel(s) on class B kick scooters shall be 120 mm or greater. 4.3.8 Self-locking fixings Where self-locking nuts are used, the entire thread, including the locking section, shall be in contact with the bolt. Self-locking nuts and other self-locking fixings that are loosened several times fo
46、r the purpose of modification or servicing shall be suitable for this purpose. 4.3.9 Mechanism to reduce the speed If a kick scooter is equipped with a mechanism to reduce the speed, this mechanism shall continue to make contact with the surface to which it is intended and no fasting devices shall h
47、ave loosened when tested according to Clause 5. The mechanism shall effectively and smoothly reduce the speed without coming to an abrupt stop. 4.3.10 Strength All functional parts after testing according to Clause 5 shall not collapse or fail to comply with the relevant requirements specified in th
48、is European Standard. 5 Test methods 5.1 General The kick scooter to be tested shall be assembled and adjusted according to the information supplied by the manufacturer.
