Roller sports equipment - Roller skates - Safety requirements and test methods
Also Known As:
Roller skate safety criteria and test procedures are outlined in the DIN EN 13899 standard. It applies to skates made for people whose body weights range from more than 20 kg to less than 100 kg. The standard's objective is to lessen the possibility of accidents involving roller skates that could cause harm to the user or other people.
The standard addresses details like the materials utilized, fastenings, and general stability in roller skate construction and design. Additionally, it outlines the safety specifications for parts like laces, brakes, and wheels. Manufacturers can ensure that their roller skates meet the necessary safety standards by using the standard's extensive test procedures.
The standard also deals with the topic of marking and the information provided by the manufacturer. This calls for the provision of user instructions, safety warnings, and clear, accurate labeling on the roller skates. It is significant to note that inline skates, which are governed by a distinct standard (EN 13843), are expressly excluded from the standard.
