DIN Standards Committee Sports Equipment

Overview

This European Standard applies to kick scooters which can only be propelled by the muscular activity of a user with a body mass of more than 20 kg and less than 100 kg. It specifies safety requirements, test methods, marking and information supplied by the manufacturer to reduce the risk of injuries to both third parties and the user during intended use. Kick scooters for use by users of less than 20 kg do not belong to the scope of this document. They are toys. It should be noted that there are two types of scooters for the weight group 20 kg to 50 kg - those classified as sports equipment for use on public roads and path ways and those classified as toys for domestic use. A kick scooter is equipment comprising at least one deck, at least two wheels of any size, a vertical element to grasp and a mechanism for steering, intended for flat, clean and dry surfaces. In this standard kick scooters are divided into two classes that are subject to different requirements. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 112-01-07 AA "Rollsportgeräte" ("Roller sports equipment") at Standards Committee Sports Equipment (NASport) at DIN.
