ASTM F2115-19 PDF Download

The ASTM F2115-19 standard specifies requirements for the creation of motorized treadmill designs and manufacturing processes. The goal of the standard is to guarantee the usability and safety of treadmills when used as intended.

According to the guidelines, treadmills placed in easily accessible areas must be sturdy and devoid of burrs and sharp edges. Tube ends should be sealed off or covered, and corners should be rounded or chamfered. Rotating parts should be made with proper guarding, shielding, spacing, or other suitable measures in order to avoid shear, pinch, or catch points.

All treadmills should have handrails and footrails to help people get on and off the machine. To reduce foot slipping, the treadmill's moving surface should be built. The stop switch should be integrated into the controls, and the control panel for running the treadmill should be easily reachable by the user. The treadmill should slow down and stop when the stop switch is pressed, including any power-driven incline systems.

The guideline also stresses the significance of giving users, other people, and service professionals proper cautions about the risks connected with treadmills.
