ASTM F3023-18 PDF Download

The stationary upright and recumbent exercise bikes, as well as the upper and total body ergometers, can be tested using the procedures outlined in the ASTM F3023-18 standard. These testing procedures are used to make sure that equipment complies with performance and reliability requirements and lessens the danger of severe injury from poor design.

The procedure and tools required to test and assess stationary exercise bikes and ergometers for compliance with Specification F1250 are laid out in the standard. Both the design and operating parameters are assessed, and approved testing procedures from other reputable agencies may be applied. Specification F1250 takes priority over this document in circumstances where there is a dispute.

The specifications in Specification F2276 and Test Methods F2571, as well as several parameters specific to this equipment, are tested for stationary exercise bicycles and ergometers. These include the building and loading of seat posts, handlebars, and pedals; the trapping of crank arms and enclosures; the loading of seat back supports; stability; the endurance of direct-drive exercise bicycle pedals; warnings; and documentation.

The test procedures also include guidelines for addressing the equipment's accessibility for people with impairments. This guarantees that a variety of people can use the equipment and that it is inclusive.
