Overview

EN 1929-1:1998 (CEN) defines safety, construction, performance and testing requirements for general-purpose basket trolleys (shopping trolleys) used in self-service stores. It applies to manually driven trolleys, whether fitted with a child carrying facility or not, and explicitly excludes trolleys intended to be used on passenger conveyors. The standard was adopted by national bodies (e.g., SIST EN 1929-1:2001).

Key Topics

The standard specifies requirements and tests covering core areas of trolley design and use:

• Construction requirements - structural integrity, materials and basic assembly considerations for general-purpose self-service trolleys.
• Performance - functional characteristics relevant to customer use, maneuverability and load-bearing behaviour under normal conditions.
• Safety specifications - measures to reduce user risk, including features associated with child carrying facilities.
• Testing methods - defined tests to verify compliance with construction, performance and safety requirements.
• Scope limitations - applies only to manually driven trolleys and not to trolleys intended for passenger conveyors.

(These topic headings reflect the standard’s stated scope: requirements for construction, performance, testing and safety specifications for basket trolleys used by customers of self-service stores.)

Applications

EN 1929-1:1998 is practical and relevant for:

• Manufacturers and product designers developing basket trolleys or integrating child carrying facilities - to design for compliance and safety.
• Retailers and procurement teams specifying compliant trolleys for supermarkets and self-service stores.
• Testing laboratories and conformity assessors performing performance and safety tests against a recognized CEN benchmark.
• Safety officers and risk assessors evaluating trolley usage and mitigating customer hazards in retail environments.
• Regulatory bodies and standards committees referencing a harmonized European approach for trolley safety.

Using EN 1929-1 helps ensure consistent product quality, safer customer interaction (including child-seat use), and clear criteria for acceptance testing and procurement.

Related Standards

• Other CEN and national standards addressing retail equipment, product safety and testing procedures may be referenced alongside EN 1929-1 when specifying complete compliance and regulatory coverage.
• National adoptions (for example, SIST EN 1929-1:2001) reflect the standard’s acceptance across member countries.
