(Main)Stationary training equipment - Part 1: General safety requirements and test methods
Stationary training equipment - Part 1: General safety requirements and test methods
This European Standard specifies general safety requirements for stationary training equipment during use unless modified in the other parts of this European Standard.
It also specifies a classification system (see Clause 4).
This European Standard is applicable to all stationary training equipment as defined in 3.1. This includes equip-ment for use in training areas of organizations such as sport associations, educational establishments, hotels, sport halls, clubs, rehabilitation centres and studios (classes S and I) where access and control is specifically regulated by the owner (person who has the legal responsibility), equipment for domestic use (class H) and other types of equipment including motor driven equipment as defined in 3.1.
If a user has special needs (medical rehabilitation, disability) it is essential that the owner (the person with legal responsibility) conducts a specific risk assessment to determine safe use and if necessary to insure trained staff are available to supervise the activity.
The requirements of a specific standard take priority over the corresponding requirements of this general Euro-pean Standard.
This European Standard does not apply to stationary training equipment intended for use by children.
NOTE 1 In the event that the stationary training equipment is intended for medical purposes, attention is drawn to the requirements of Council Directive of 14 June 1993 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to medical devices 93/42/EEC in addition to the requirements of this European Standard.
NOTE 2 In the event that the stationary training equipment is designed to be accessible to people with disability, atten-tion is drawn to any relevant national guidelines (see bibliography).
Stationäre Trainingsgeräte - Teil 1: Allgemeine sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Diese Norm legt allgemeine sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen für stationäre Trainingsgeräte im Gebrauch fest, wenn nicht durch die anderen Teile dieser Norm geändert.
Sie legt auch eine Klassifizierung fest (siehe Abschnitt 4).
Diese Norm gilt für alle stationären Trainingsgeräte nach der Definition in 3.1. Dies schließt Geräte ein für die Verwendung in Trainingsräumen von Einrichtungen, wie z. B. Sportvereinen, Schuleinrichtungen, Hotels, Sporthallen, Clubs, Rehabilitationszentren und Studios (Klassen S und I), deren Zugang und Aufsicht speziell vom Eigentümer (Person, die die gesetzliche Verantwortung trägt), geregelt sind, Geräte für die Verwendung im Heimbereich (Klasse H) sowie andere Arten von Geräten, einschließlich Geräte mit Motorantrieb nach der Definition in 3.1.
Bei besonderem Bedarf des Benutzers (medizinische Rehabilitation, körperliche Behinderung) muss der
Eigentümer (Person, die die gesetzliche Verantwortung trägt), eine spezielle Risikoanalyse durchführen, um den sicheren Gebrauch zu bestimmen und falls erforderlich, sicherzustellen, dass ausgebildete Mitarbeiter zur Verfügung stehen, um die Übungen zu beaufsichtigen.
Die Anforderungen einer besonderen Norm haben Vorrang vor den entsprechenden Anforderungen dieser allgemeinen Norm.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für stationäre Trainingsgeräte, die von Kindern benutzt werden.
ANMERKUNG Im Falle, dass das stationäre Trainingsgerät für medizinische Zwecke benutzt wird, können zusätzlich zu den Anforderungen dieser Norm die Vorschriften der Richtlinie des Rates für medizinische Geräte einbezogen werden.
Appareils d'entraînement fixes - Partie 1 : Exigences générales de sécurité et méthodes d'essai
La présente norme précise les exigences générales de sécurité relatives aux appareils d'entraînement fixes au cours de leur emploi, sous réserve de modifications dans les autres parties de la présente norme.
Elle spécifie également un système de classification (voir article 4).
La présente norme s'applique à tous les appareils d'entraînement fixes définis en 3.1. Cela comprend les appareils utilisés dans les zones d'activités d'organismes tels que les associations sportives, établissements scolaires, hôtels, salles de sports, clubs et espaces (classes S et I) où leur accès et contrôle relèvent plus précisément de leur propriétaire (personne légalement responsable), les appareils destinés à l'emploi à domicile (classe H) ainsi que tous les autres types d'appareils, y compris ceux qui sont motorisés et définis en 3.1.
Si un utilisateur nécessite une assistance particulière (rééducation médicale, incapacité), le propriétaire (la personne légalement responsable) doit procéder à une évaluation du risque spécifique afin de déterminer les conditions d'utilisation en toute sécurité et, si nécessaire, de s'assurer de la présence d'un personnel formé pour superviser l'activité.
Les exigences d'une norme spécifique prévalent sur les exigences correspondantes de la présente norme générale.
La présente norme ne s'applique pas aux appareils d'entraînement fixes destinés à être utilisés par des enfants.
NOTE Si l'appareil d'entraînement fixe est utilisé à des fins médicales, il peut être couvert par les dispositions de la Directive du Conseil relative aux dispositifs médicaux, en plus des exigences de la présente norme.

Introduction
This part of EN 957 (hereinafter called the General Standard) specifies safety requirements that are generally
applicable to stationary training equipment. For specific types of equipment these requirements are supple-
mented or modified by the requirements of specific standards which have been issued as additional parts of
this European Standard.
Where specific standards exist, this general standard should not be used alone. Special care is required in
applying this general standard alone to equipment for which no specific standard has yet been published.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies general safety requirements for stationary training equipment during use
unless modified in the other parts of this European Standard.
It also specifies a classification system (see Clause 4).
This European Standard is applicable to all stationary training equipment as defined in 3.1. This includes equip-
ment for use in training areas of organizations such as sport associations, educational establishments, hotels,
sport halls, clubs, rehabilitation centres and studios (classes S and I) where access and control is specifically
regulated by the owner (person who has the legal responsibility), equipment for domestic use (class H) and other
types of equipment including motor driven equipment as defined in 3.1.
If a user has special needs (medical rehabilitation, disability) it is essential that the owner (the person with legal
responsibility) conducts a specific risk assessment to determine safe use and if necessary to insure trained staff
are available to supervise the activity.
The requirements of a specific standard take priority over the corresponding requirements of this general Euro-
pean Standard.
This European Standard does not apply to stationary training equipment intended for use by children.
NOTE 1 In the event that the stationary training equipment is intended for medical purposes, attention is drawn to the
requirements of Council Directive of 14 June 1993 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to
medical devices 93/42/EEC in addition to the requirements of this European Standard.
NOTE 2 In the event that the stationary training equipment is designed to be accessible to people with disability, atten-
tion is drawn to any relevant national guidelines (see bibliography).
