Diese europäische Norm legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Laufbänder zusätzlich zu den allgemeinen sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren in EN 957-1 fest. EN 957-6 sollte zusammen mit 957-1 angewendet werden.
Dieser Teil der Norm EN 957 behandelt signifikante Gefährdungen, gefährliche Situationen und Ereignisse bei stationären Trainingsgeräten während des bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauchs und unter den Bedingungen eines unsachgemäßen Gebrauchs, die vom Hersteller erwartet werden können (siehe Abschnitt 4).
EN 957-6 gilt für energetisch betriebene sowie nicht energetisch betriebene/manuell betriebene Trainings-geräte vom Typ Laufbänder (im Folgenden Laufbänder genannt) der Klassen S, H und I und der Klassen A, B und C hinsichtlich der Genauigkeit.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Laufbänder, die vor dem Datum der Veröffentlichung dieser Europäischer Norm hergestellt wurden.

Appareils d'entraînement fixes - Partie 6 : Tapis de course, méthodes d'essai et exigences de sécurité spécifiques supplémentaires

La présente Norme européenne fixe des exigences de sécurité et des méthodes d'essai applicables aux tapis de course, en complément des exigences de sécurité générales et des méthodes d'essai qui figurent dans l'EN 957-1. L'EN 957-6 est destinée à être appliquée avec l'EN 957-1.
La présente partie de l'EN 957 traite des phénomènes dangereux significatifs, des situations et des événements dangereux liés aux appareils d'entraînement fixes utilisés comme prévu et dans les conditions de mauvais usage prévisible par le fabricant (voir Article 4).
L'EN 957-6 est applicable aux appareils d'entraînement entraînés manuellement ou par un moteur, de type « tapis de course » (appelés ci-après tapis de course) des classes S, H et I et des classes A, B et C en ce qui concerne la précision.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux tapis de course qui ont été fabriqués avant la date de sa publication en tant que Norme européenne.

Nepremična oprema za vadbo - 6. del: Tekoče preproge, dodatne posebne varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode

EN 957-6 določa varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode za tekoče preproge poleg splošnih varnostnih zahtev in preskusnih metod iz EN 957-1. EN 957-6 se mora uporabljati skupaj z EN 957-1. Ta del standarda EN 957 opisuje vsa večja tveganja, nevarne razmere in nevarne dogodke v zvezi z nepremično opremo za vadbo, kadar se uporablja v skladu z njenim namenom in pod pogoji pričakovane nepravilne uporabe, ki jih določa proizvajalec (glejte točko 4). EN 957-6 velja za električno in ročno gnano opremo za vadbo tipa tekoče preproge (v nadaljevanju tekoče preproge) z razredi S, H in I ter A, B in C glede natančnosti.
