EU treadmill latest standard requirements

　　EU treadmill standard EN 957-6:2001 will be abolished by June 2011，The new version of the treadmill standard EN 957-6:2010 will be officially implemented. What is the main performance of this standard update?  Let us follow the CE certification body of construction machinery to have a brief introduction.

　　(1)Modified the treadmill definition;

　　(2)More stringent requirements for the requirements of the rear axle cover, safety stop switch, static load, handlebar and pedal;
     
      (3)Increased requirements for terms such as running surface, acceleration, heartbeat control mode, and folding.

　　Among them, the "safe stop switch" and "running surface" two provisions, mainly to the treadmill warning signs, to remind users to pay attention;The three terms of "rear axle cover", "handle" and "pedal" are mainly for the treadmill's partial design dimensions, so that the treadmill design is more scientific, safer and more effective in protecting users;The terms “acceleration” and “heartbeat control” are specific requirements for the performance of the treadmill to prevent damage caused by sudden changes in speed;The terms "static load" and "folding requirements" are based on the structural strength, and put forward higher requirements for the treadmill, so that the reliability of the treadmill is greatly improved, thereby improving the protection of the human body more safely.

　　The EU is one of the major markets for treadmill exports in Ningbo, According to statistics, in 2010, a total of 1809 batches of treadmills were exported from Ningbo, with a value of 57.95 million US dollars; as of the end of May 2011, a total of 641 batches of treadmills were exported, with a value of 19.45 million US dollars..Among them, Cixi area: 146 batches of export treadmills in 2010, with a value of 4.41 million US dollars; in 2011, as of the end of May, 46 batches were exported, with a value of 1.52 million US dollars.

　　With the introduction of the European treadmill safety standards, Ningbo treadmill companies should be prepared to meet the challenges. Global technical service co.Ltd. Testing Center reminds related treadmill export enterprises：First, take the initiative to pay attention to the development trend of domestic and international fitness equipment (treadmill) industry, and organize relevant personnel to systematically study the new standard; Second is to complete the corresponding technical upgrades and quality inspections in a timely manner to cope with the impact of the implementation of the new EU standards; The Third is to strengthen communication with the Xingyuan laboratory and seek technical support.
