ASTM F2106-18 PDF Download

Guidelines and procedures for testing and assessing motorized treadmills are provided by the ASTM F2106-18 standard. With the use of these test procedures, motorized treadmill dependability and performance are guaranteed, and the possibility of severe injuries brought on by poor design is reduced.

The standard outlines the methods and tools that must be used to test and assess whether motorized treadmills adhere to Specification F2115. When appropriate, approved test procedures from other reputable agencies are cited as they examine both design and operational parameters. Specification F2115 takes priority over this standard in the event of a disagreement.

Additionally, Specification F2276, Test Methods F2571, and Specification F2115 should all be utilized in conjunction with this standard. In sections unique to motorized treadmills, ASTM F2106-18 supersedes Specification F2276 and Test Methods F2571.

A motorized treadmill must be tested for a number of factors, according to the standard, including stability, exterior design, endurance loading, static loading, adjustable incline system, controls, motorized drive system, folding treadmills, additional universal design requirements, documentation, marking, and warning labels. In addition, this standard includes extra standards that deal with accessibility for people with impairments.
