Overview

This European Standard specifies safety and performance requirements for the design, assembly and testing of BMX bicycles and sub-assemblies intended for use in any type of location such as roads and/or tracks and/or ramps. It applies to specialised types of bicycle designed and equipped for activities such as acrobatic ground manoeuvres, stunting and aerobatic manoeuvres and lays down guidelines for instructions on the use and care of such BMX bicycles. It applies to BMX bicycles on which the saddle height can be adjusted to provide a minimum saddle height of 435 mm or more. It applies to: a) category 1, BMX designed for a rider mass of 45 kg or less; b) category 2, BMX designed for a rider mass more than 45 kg. It does not apply to BMX bicycles for use in sanctioned competition events. No requirements on lighting set, reflectors and warning devices are specified in this European Standard due to the existence of several different national regulations applicable in the European countries. DIN EN 16054 is part of a series dealing with bicycles. European Standards of this series are: - DIN EN 14764, "City and trekking bicycles - Safety requirements and test methods" - DIN EN 14765, "Bicycles for young children - Safety requirements and test methods" - DIN EN 14766, "Mountain-bicycles - Safety requirements and test methods" - DIN EN 14781, "Racing bicycles - Safety requirements and test methods" - DIN EN 14872, "Bicycles - Accessories for bicycles - Luggage carriers" - DIN EN 15496 "Bicycles - Requirements and test methods for cycle locks" - DIN EN 15532 "Cycles - Terminology" - DIN EN 15194, "Cycles - Electrically power assisted cycles - EPAC Bicycles". This European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 333 "Bicycles", the secretariat of which is held by UNI (Italy). The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 112-06-01 AA "Fahrräder für allgemeine und sportliche Benutzung" ("Cycles for common and athletic use") of the Sports Equipment Standards Committee (NASport) at DIN.
