EN 14872:2006 (E) 3 Foreword This European Standard (EN 14872:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 333 “Cycles”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August 2006. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
EN 14872:2006 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard has been developed in response to demand throughout Europe, and the aim has been to ensure that luggage carriers manufactured in compliance with it will be as safe as is practically possible. The tests have been designed to ensure the strength and durability of the luggage carrier, demanding high quality throughout and consideration of safety aspects from the design stage onwards. The scope has been limited to safety considerations, and has specifically avoided standardisation of components.
EN 14872:2006 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies safety and performance requirements for the design and testing of luggage carriers intended for permanent mounting above or adjacent to the wheels of cycles and lays down guide lines for instructions on the use and care of such luggage carriers. This European Standard does not apply to removable luggage (for example handlebar bags or baskets that are not permanently attached). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 14344, Child use and care articles — Child seats for cycles — Safety requirements and test methods 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 cycle vehicle that has at least two wheels and is propelled solely or mainly by the muscular energy of the person on that vehicle, in particular by means of pedals (from EN 14764) 3.2 luggage carrier device, including containers such as baskets, that is mounted and permanently attached above and/or adjacent to the rear wheel(s) (in the case of a rear luggage carrier) or front wheel(s) (in the case of a front luggage carrier) of a cycle and that is exclusively designed for carrying luggage or children in child-seats 3.3 luggage-carrier platform flat part of the luggage carrier upon which loads may be placed or fixed, or the flat top rail from which panniers may be hung or the bottom part of a container (for example a basket). If the luggage carrier is equipped with more than one such area, only the uppermost is considered 3.4 luggage-carrier platform length, L maximum overall length of the luggage-carrier platform (flat part) 3.5 visible crack crack which results from a test where that crack is visible to the naked eye (from EN 14764) 3.6 fracture separation into two or more parts (from EN 14764)
EN 14872:2006 (E) 6 4 Classification The manufacturer shall classify the carrier with the maximum load capacity for which it is intended, taking into consideration any restrictions laid down in Table 1. If the carrier is intended to carry a child seat, designed to clamp onto the platform of a normal rear luggage carrier, classified for 9 kg to15 kg according to EN 14344, the maximum load capacity of the luggage carrier shall be at least 18 kg. If the carrier is intended to carry a child seat, designed to clamp onto the platform of a normal rear luggage carrier, classified for 9 kg to 22 kg according to EN 14344, the maximum load capacity of the luggage carrier shall be at least 25 kg. In Table 1, the maximum limit (if any) for the load capacity is indicated for each type of luggage carrier that falls within the scope of this European Standard. The applicable requirements and test methods differ according to the type and load capacity. The following terminology is used in the table: normal rear carrier: rear carrier supported by fixings to the bicycle frame close to the rear wheel axle; frame-mounted beam carrier: rear carrier that is structurally a cantilever, fixed to the bicycle frame in front and/or above the rear wheel. It may also be fixed to the seatpost, in addition to the frame, but receives no support from the bicycle frame near to the axle of the rear wheel; seatpost-mounted beam carrier: rear carrier that is structurally a cantilever, fixed to the seatpost of the bicycle without additional fixings to the frame; above wheel front carrier: front carrier with a platform upon which loads can be placed above the front wheel; low-load front carrier: front carrier that is exclusively designed for carrying a pair of panniers, where the “platform” is a pair of rails (from which the panniers hang) one each side of the wheel and not more than 200 mm above the lower points of attachment of the carrier near to the axle of the front wheel; front-mounted container: container such as a basket, that is mounted and permanently attached above the front wheel of a bicycle and that is exclusively designed for carrying luggage.

In the strength tests all components shall be in the fully-finished condition. The test frequency shall be stated in all fatigue test reports. 5.2 Tolerances Unless otherwise stated the following tolerances shall be used: All forces shall have an accuracy of ± 5 %.
