EN ISO 4210-4 Cycles - Safety Requirements for Bicycles - Part 4: Braking Test Methods

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 4210-4 testing. EN ISO 4210-4 specifies brake test methods for EN ISO 4210-2.

This International standard was developed in response to worldwide demand. The aim is to ensure that bicycles manufactured in accordance with this International Standard are as safe as possible in practice. The tests are designed to ensure the strength and durability of the individual parts and the bike as a whole, demanding high quality throughout and consideration of safety aspects from the design stage.

With the aim of improving repeatability and reproducibility, and considering its applicability to all types of bicycles and the size and influence of the operator, the machine test method reflects the state of the art today and is preferred to the trail test method.

Perform the test on a fully assembled bike with the brakes set to the correct position with the equivalent mass on a rider or saddle. The combined mass of the bicycle and the rider (or equivalent mass) will be 100 kg.

Where a bicycle is equipped with secondary brake levers attached to brake levers, bar ends or aerodynamic extensions, separate tests for the operation of the secondary brake levers must be performed in addition to the tests with the normal levers.
