Overview - EN ISO 11243:2023 (Cycles - Luggage carriers for bicycles)
EN ISO 11243:2023 (adopted by CEN) specifies safety and performance requirements and test methods for bicycle luggage carriers. It covers both non cycle‑specific carriers (mounted with or without tools) and cycle‑specific carriers installed on complete cycles. The standard applies to carriers positioned above or adjacent to wheels and provides guidance on user instructions and care. It excludes removable luggage (e.g., handlebar bags or non‑permanently attached baskets) and toy child carriers covered under ISO 8098.
Key topics and technical requirements
This edition (ISO 11243:2023) is a technical revision of the 2016 version and focuses on practical safety and durability requirements rather than component standardization. Major technical topics include:
- Maximum load capacity restrictions for non cycle‑specific carriers and related design considerations.
- Dynamic load tests (vertical and lateral) to verify strength and fatigue resistance under real‑world forces.
- Static load tests in vertical, lateral and longitudinal directions to confirm structural integrity.
- Drop impact test for carriers made of plastics or mixed metal/plastic materials.
- Security of safety‑related fasteners, including screw retention and minimum failure torque requirements.
- Crack detection methods and protection against sharp edges and exposed protrusions.
- Child seat compatibility: additional design and test provisions where a child seat may be attached.
- Provision for lighting on rear carriers and requirements for marking, durability of markings, and instructions for use and care.
- Detailed test reporting requirements and normative annexes (test setup, alternative dynamic methods, configuration examples, child‑seat test options).
Practical applications - who uses this standard
EN ISO 11243:2023 is essential for professionals involved in the design, manufacture, testing and certification of bicycle luggage carriers:
- Bicycle and accessory manufacturers and product designers - to design carriers that meet recognized safety and performance benchmarks.

5 Requirements and test methods
5.1 General
The fatigue tests shall be done on the same sample and fasteners. Static tests and the additional tests
on child seat compatible luggage carriers can be conducted on a new test sample, but if only one test
sample is available, it is permissible to conduct all of the tests on the same sample with the sequence of
testing in the order: dynamic load tests, static tests.
When more than one test is conducted on the same sample, the test sequence shall be clearly recorded
in the test report or record of testing.
If the luggage carrier is made of plastics or metal and plastics, it shall be submitted to the tests in 5.13
after being tested according to 5.9, 5.10, 5.11 and 5.12.
In the strength tests, all components shall be in the fully-finished condition.
The luggage carrier shall be tested using the connecting interface position(s) and type(s) according to
the luggage carrier manufacturer's specifications.
When the manufacturer allows more than one mounting configuration the stiffest and weakest
configuration shall be tested. The stiffness is determined by measuring the largest and smallest
displacement of the each configuration according the method described in 5.11.
The luggage carrier shall be tested with all accessories provided (e.g. lock, pumps, etc.).
For luggage carrier intended to be fitted on an electrically power assisted cycle (EPAC) and designed
to include a battery, the test shall be performed with the maximum battery load [see Clause 7 q)] in
addition to the mass defined in Clause 4.
For maximum load capacity under 27 kg, the user shall be warned that the product is not suitable for
the transportation of a child seat. See Clause 6.2 e).
Permanently attached luggage carriers are not within the scope of this document. However,
manufacturers should take into consideration and apply all clauses of this document except 5.8, 5.13,
6.2 c) and 6.2 e) as a basis of safety requirements.
5.2 Tolerances
Unless stated otherwise, accuracy tolerances based on the nominal values shall be as follows.
Forces 0/+5 %
Masses ±1 %
Dimensions ±1 mm
Angles ±1°
Time duration ±5 s
Temperatures ±2 °C
Frequencies and linear stroke ±5 %
Torque wrenches shall have a maximum permissible relative deviation of ±6 %
Note Unilateral tolerance such as 0/+5 % allows variation to occur in only one direction. The minimum
applied force shall be the standard force plus the maximum permissible error of the equipment. Typically, the
equipment is set at half the tolerance (+2,5 %).
ISO 11243:2023(E)
5.3 Crack detection methods
Standardized methods may be used to emphasize the presence of cracks where visible cracks are
specified as criteria of failure in tests specified in this document.
NOTE For example, suitable dye-penetrant methods are specified in ISO 3452-1 and ISO 3452-2.
5.4 Sharp edges
Exposed edges that could come into contact with the rider's or a transported person’s hands, legs, etc.,
during normal riding or normal handling and normal maintenance shall be neither sharp nor designed
such that injuries can arise when the bicycle is used correctly. Spring ends shall be rounded or fitted
with protective caps.
5.5 Security of safety-related fasteners
5.5.1 Security of screws
Any screws used in the internal assembly of the luggage carrier shall be provided with suitable locking
devices, for example, lock-washers, lock-nuts, stiff nuts or thread locking compound.
5.5.2 Minimum failure torque
The minimum failure torque of screws for the fastening of the luggage carrier to the cycle shall be at
least 20 % greater than the manufacturer's maximum recommended tightening torque.
NOTE For example, mechanical and physical properties of bolts are specified in ISO 898-1.
5.6 Minimum requirements for rear luggage carriers to which a child seat could be
attached
Except for luggage carriers using a manufacturer-specific child seat mounting system, a luggage carrier
platform maximum width of 175 mm is recommended for rear luggage carriers to which a child seat
could be attached. And the maximum load capacity of the rear luggage carrier shall be at least 27 kg.
NOTE Some child seats can have other additional attaching requirements.
5.7 Protrusions
This requirement is intended to address the hazards associated with the users of bicycles falling on
projections or rigid components on a bicycle, possibly causing internal injury or skin puncture.
A screw thread that is an exposed protrusion shall be limited to a protrusion length of one major
diameter of the screw beyond the internally threaded mating part.
5.8 Rear luggage carriers — Provision for lighting
The rear aspect of any rear luggage carrier not equipped with an integral rear lamp and reflector can
be equipped with a bracket or brackets, either as an integral part or separate accessory (or accessories)
to allow the fitting of a rear lamp and reflector.
When this requirement is satisfied by the provision of separate accessories, these accessories should be
included when the luggage carrier is sold.
ISO 11243:2023(E)
5.9 Dynamic load tests
5.9.1 Requirement
