European foreword
This document (prEN 15496:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 333 “Cycles”,
the secretariat of which is held by UNI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 15496:2008.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
— Normative references in Clause 2 have been updated.
Introduction
This document has been developed in response to demand throughout Europe aimed to ensure that
locking systems manufactured in compliance with this standard will offer unattended bicycles a high,
practical level of security. The tests have been designed and evaluated in practical tests by experts in
the lock industry and consideration has been given to the latest techniques employed by professional
cycle-thieves whose methods are constantly changing.
The scope has been limited to security and durability requirements and, to some extent, the safety of
the rider.
