AS ISO 20957.2:2021 PDF Download

A standard known as AS ISO 20957.2:2021, often called ISO 20957-2:2020, describes the precise safety criteria and testing procedures for stationary strength training equipment. The goal of this standard is to guarantee consumers' safety while using these kinds of exercise machines.

The standard covers a wide variety of stationary exercise machines, such as those used for resistance training, workouts that target particular muscle regions, and machines that use weights or other types of resistance. It covers a range of safety issues, including stability, structural integrity, user weight capacity, and avoiding crush or entrapment dangers.

Manufacturers and testing facilities can utilize the standard's list of particular test procedures to determine whether products are in compliance with safety regulations. These tests might involve determining the equipment's stability under various weights, looking for potential snagging or entrapment areas, and evaluating the safety and proper operation of the resistance mechanisms.
