Cycles - Safety requirements for bicycles - Part 2: Requirements for city and trekking, young adult, mountain and racing bicycles (ISO 4210-2:2015)

ISO 4210-2:2015 specifies safety and performance requirements for the design, assembly, and testing of bicycles and sub-assemblies having saddle height as given in Table 1, and lays down guidelines for manufacturer's instructions on the use and care of such bicycles.
This part of ISO 4210 applies to young adult bicycles with maximum saddle height of 635 mm or more and less than 750 mm, city and trekking bicycles, mountain bicycles, and racing bicycles that have a maximum saddle height of 635 mm or more including folding bicycles (see Table 1 and Figure 1).
This part of ISO 4210 does not apply to specialized types of bicycle, such as delivery bicycles, recumbent bicycles, tandems, BMX bicycles, and bicycles designed and equipped for use in severe applications such as sanctioned competition events, stunting, or aerobatic manoeuvres.
NOTE          For bicycles with a maximum saddle height of 435 mm or less, see ISO 8124‑1, and with a maximum saddle height of more than 435 mm and less than 635 mm, see ISO 8098.

Cycles - Exigences de sécurité des bicyclettes - Partie 2: Exigences pour bicyclettes de ville et de randonnée, de jeune adulte, de montagne et de course (ISO 4210-2:2015)

L'ISO 4210-2:2015 spécifie les exigences de sécurité et de performance à observer lors de la conception, de l'assemblage et des essais des bicyclettes et de leurs sous-ensembles et précise les lignes directrices concernant les instructions d'utilisation et d'entretien fournies par les fabricants de ces bicyclettes.
L'ISO 4210-2:2015 s'applique aux bicyclettes jeunes adultes ayant une hauteur maximale de selle supérieure ou égale à 635 mm et inférieure à 750 mm, aux bicyclettes de ville et tout chemin (trekking), aux bicyclettes tout terrain et aux bicyclettes de course ayant une hauteur maximale de selle supérieure ou égale à 635 mm, y compris les bicyclettes pliantes.
L'ISO 4210-2:2015 ne s'applique pas aux types spécialisés de bicyclettes comme les bicyclettes de livraison, les bicyclettes couchées, les tandems, les bicyclettes BMX et les bicyclettes conçues et équipées pour une utilisation dans des usages sévères telles que des compétitions réglementées, des cascades ou des figures acrobatiques.

Kolesa - Varnostne zahteve za kolesa - 2. del: Zahteve za mestna in treking kolesa, kolesa za mlade, gorska in tekmovalna kolesa (ISO 4210-2:2015)

Ta del standarda ISO 4210 določa varnostne in tehnične zahteve za zasnovo, sestavo in
preskušanje koles in njihovih podsestavov z višino sedeža, podano v preglednici 1, ter določa smernice za proizvajalčeva navodila za uporabo in nego takšnih koles.
Ta del standarda ISO 4210 velja za kolesa za mlade z maksimalno višino sedeža najmanj 635 mm in največ 750 mm, mestna in treking kolesa, gorska kolesa in tekmovalna kolesa z maksimalno višino sedeža najmanj 635 mm, vključno z zložljivimi kolesi (glejte preglednico 1 in sliko 1).
Ta del standarda ISO 4210 ne velja za specializirane vrste koles, na primer dostavna kolesa, ležeča kolesa, tandemska kolesa, kolesa BMX in kolesa, zasnovana in opremljena za uporabo v zahtevnih pogojih, na primer na sankcioniranih tekmovanjih, za izvajanje trikov in akrobacij.
OPOMBA Za kolesa z maksimalno višino sedeža 435 mm ali manj glejte standard ISO 8124-1, za kolesa z maksimalno višino sedeža najmanj 435 mm in največ 635 mm pa glejte standard ISO 8098.
