1.1This specification2 established additional requirements not set forth in the referenced ASTM standards for the design of commercial fitness equipment to increase access and user independence by people with functional limitations or impairments.
1.2The intent of this specification is to ensure that the fitness product being designed for inclusive use by individuals with and without functional limitations or impairments remains functional and safe when the equipment is operated according to the manufacturer’s operational instructions.
1.3It is the intent of this specification to specify products for indoor use in a commercial environment by individuals age 13 and above.
1.4Products designed to meet this specification must not be automatically classified as fit for medical or rehabilitation fitness purposes. Products intended for medical use should comply with any applicable international or national standards.
1.5Where users are exercising from a wheelchair, it is the intent of this specification to specify products for use by individuals using manual or powered wheelchairs (including scooters) (A1.4.5).
1.6This standard does not purport to address the needs of every possible user and recognizes that access will not be possible for all individuals or all types of assistive technologies.
1.7This specification is to be used in conjunction with Test Method F3022 and other ASTM fitness equipment standards and their accompanying test methods as noted.
1.8The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.9This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Note 1:Additional specifications applicable to specific pieces of equipment, such as treadmills, bicycles, ellipticals, and strength equipment have been published in the equipment-specific standards.
1.10This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
