Standard Specification for Elliptical Trainers

Standard Specification for Elliptical Trainers

ABSTRACT
This specification establishes parameters for the design and manufacture of elliptical training equipment for use in an indoor environment or setting. It specifies fitness products for use only by an individual age 13 or older and is to be used in conjunction with Specification F2276 and Test Methods F2811. The goal of this specification is to promote proper design and manufacturing practices for elliptical training equipment so that the possibility of injury can be minimized when these products are used in accordance with the operational instructions. Equipment types covered by this specification are elliptical trainer with fixed handlebars (Type 1), elliptical trainer with moveable handlebars (Type 2), and elliptical trainer with moveable and fixed handlebars (Type 3). Design and construction requirements are for foot support (foot support loading), handlebars (handlebar loading), endurance, and adjustable guide systems.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes parameters for the design and manufacture of elliptical training equipment as defined in 3.1 for use in an indoor environment or setting.
1.2 It is the intent of this standard to specify fitness products for use only by an individual age 13 or older.
1.3 This standard is to be used in conjunction with Specification F2276 and Test Methods F2811. All specifications in this standard supersede those of Specification F2276 where applicable.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Standard Specification for
Elliptical Trainers
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2810; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
INTRODUCTION
The goal of this specification is to promote proper design and manufacturing practices for elliptical
training equipment. Through these specifications this standard aims to assist designers and manufac-
turers in reducing the possibility of injury when these products are used in accordance with the
operational instructions.
The equipment user must recognize, however, that a standard alone will not necessarily prevent
injuries. Like other physical activities, exercise involving fitness equipment involves the risk of injury,
particularly if the equipment is used improperly or not properly maintained. In addition, users with
physical limitations should seek medical advice or instruction from the fitness facility, or both, prior
to using this equipment. Certain physical conditions or limitations may preclude some persons from
using this equipment properly and without increasing the risk of serious injury.

Standard Specification for Universal Design of Fitness Equipment for Inclusive Use by Persons with Functional Limitations and Impairments

ABSTRACT
This specification establishes the requirements for the design and manufacturing of fitness equipment intended for use by persons with functional limitations and impairments. It aims to assist designers and manufacturers in reducing the possibility of injury when these products are used in accordance with the manufacturer's operational instructions. It covers assistive technologies such as wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, canes, prosthetics, alternative communication devices, and cell phones, as well as requirements for color contrast.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification2 established additional requirements not set forth in the referenced ASTM standards for the design of commercial fitness equipment to increase access and user independence by people with functional limitations or impairments.  
1.2 The intent of this specification is to ensure that the fitness product being designed for inclusive use by individuals with and without functional limitations or impairments remains functional and safe when the equipment is operated according to the manufacturer’s operational instructions.  
1.3 It is the intent of this specification to specify products for indoor use in a commercial environment by individuals age 13 and above.  
1.4 Products designed to meet this specification must not be automatically classified as fit for medical or rehabilitation fitness purposes. Products intended for medical use should comply with any applicable international or national standards.  
1.5 Where users are exercising from a wheelchair, it is the intent of this specification to specify products for use by individuals using manual or powered wheelchairs (including scooters) (A1.4.5).  
1.6 This standard does not purport to address the needs of every possible user and recognizes that access will not be possible for all individuals or all types of assistive technologies.  
1.7 This specification is to be used in conjunction with Test Method F3022 and other ASTM fitness equipment standards and their accompanying test methods as noted.  
1.8 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.  
1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Note 1: Additional specifications applicable to specific pieces of equipment, such as treadmills, bicycles, ellipticals, and strength equipment have been published in the equipment-specific standards.  
1.10 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
