Introduction
This Technical Report has been produced to provide safety guidance for designers, manufacturers,
suppliers and users of children’s tricycle providing a passive transportation function.
These guidelines have been drafted to address potential hazards associated with the transportation
function of tricycles. Where there are similar hazards to those associated with wheeled child
conveyances, these have been identified. Requirements and test methods which are given in
EN 1888-1:2018 + A1:2022 and are appropriate to the transportation function of tricycles have been
included, adapted as necessary, in this document.
