(Specification)Standard Specification for Externally Loaded Strength Training Equipment, Strength Training Benches and External Weight Storage Equipment
Standard Specification for Externally Loaded Strength Training Equipment, Strength Training Benches and External Weight Storage Equipment
ABSTRACT
This specification outlines parameters for the proper design and manufacture of externally loaded strength training equipment, strength training benches and external weight storage equipment. It aims to assist designers and manufacturers in reducing the possibility of injury when the products are used in accordance with the operational instructions. The fitness products are intended for use in an indoor setting or environment, and only by an individual age 13 and older.
The equipment types covered by this specification are: externally loaded strength training equipment, work arm actuated (type 1); externally loaded strength training equipment, linear slide actuated (type 2); strength training benches, designed for use with a barbell (type 3); strength training benches, designed for independent use or for use with optional equipment (type 4); external weight storage equipment, any device with the sole purpose to store external weights (type 5); multi-function systems, a machine whose function incorporates more than one station or operation intended for separate exercises (type 6); rack stations (type 7).
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes parameters for the design and manufacture of externally loaded strength training equipment, strength training benches and external weight storage equipment as defined in 3.1.
1.2 It is intended that these fitness products be used in an indoor setting or environment.
1.3 It is the intent of this standard to specify fitness products for use only by an individual age 13 and older.
1.4 This standard is to be used in conjunction with Specification F2276, Test Methods F2571, and Test Methods F3104.
1.5 This standard takes precedence over Specification F2276 and Test Methods F2571 in areas that are specific to Externally Loaded Strength Training Equipment, Strength Training Benches and External Weight Storage Equipment.
1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.
1.7 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.
1.8 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.

Through these specifications, this specification aims to assist designers and manufactures 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 externally loaded strength training
equipment, strength training benches and external weight storage 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 and instruction from the fitness facility 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.
