Standard Specification for Fitness Equipment
ABSTRACT
This specification establishes parameters for the design and manufacture of fitness equipment intended for use by individuals age 13 and above. The design and construction requirements for the following are specified: (1) stability, (2) support, (3) edges, corners, and tube ends, and (4) moving parts in accessible areas such as rotating and reciprocating points. The equipment shall meet the guarding, enclosure, and spacing requirements specified for: (1) squeeze, shear, and crush points, (2) adjustment and locking means, (3) handgrips (integral, applied, and rotating) and foot support, (4) load development and transmitting components such as ropes, belts, chains, and other means, and chain or gear drives, and (5) intrinsic, extrinsic, and endurance loading. The documentation shall include the following: assembly instructions, list of equipment parts, operational instructions, and maintenance instructions. Adequate warnings or warning labels alerting users, third parties, and service personnel to hazards associated with use and service of the equipment shall be provided for consumer, commercial, and institutional fitness equipment. The requirements for site-specific labels and user weight restrictions are specified.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes parameters for the design and manufacture of fitness equipment as defined in 3.1.9.
1.2 It is the intent of this specification to specify products for use by individuals ages 13 and above.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 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.

INTRODUCTION
Thegoalofthisspecificationistopromoteproperdesignandmanufacturingpracticesforstationary
fitness equipment. Through these specifications this standard aims to assist designers and manufac-
turers in producing functional, safe products under proper operations. This standard specifies safety
requirements that are generally applicable to all stationary fitness equipment. For specific types of
fitness equipment, these requirements shall be supplemented or superseded by the requirements of
specific standards that have been issued to cover these specific types or groups of fitness products.
Where specific standards exist, this standard should be used in conjunction with the other standards.
Special care is required in applying this standard alone to equipment for which no specific standard
exists.
The equipment user must recognize, however, that a standard alone will not necessarily prevent
injuries.Likeotherphysicalactivities,exerciseinvolvingfitnessequipmentinvolvestheriskofinjury,
