(Specification)Standard Specification for Selectorized Strength Equipment
Standard Specification for Selectorized Strength Equipment
ABSTRACT
This specification establishes guidelines for the design and manufacture of selectorized strength equipment. It is the intent of this specification to specify products for use by individuals age 12 and above. Selectorized strength training equipment shall be stable in the unloaded, intrinsically, and extrinsically loaded conditions. Tests for compliance to the general requirements will be conducted in accordance with the specified requirements.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes parameters for the design and manufacture of selectorized strength training equipment as defined in 3.1.
1.2 It is intended that these fitness products be used in an indoor setting or environment.
1.3 It is the intent of this standard to specify fitness products for use only by individuals age 13 and older.
1.4 This standard is to be used in conjunction with Specification F2276, Test Methods F2571, and Test Method F2277.
1.5 This standard takes precedence over Specification F2276 and Test Methods F2571 in areas that are specific or unique to selectorized strength training equipment.
1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.
1.7 This 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Selectorized Strength Equipment
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2216; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
INTRODUCTION
The goal of this specification is to promote proper design and manufacturing practices for
selectorized strength training equipment.Through these specifications, this specification aims to assist
designers and manufactures in reducing the possibility of injury when these products are used in
accordance with the operational instructions.
The equipment user must recognize, however, that a standard alone will not necessarily prevent
injuries. Like other physical activities, exercise involving selectorized strength training equipment
involvestheriskofinjury,particularlyiftheequipmentisusedimproperlyornotproperlymaintained.
In addition, users with physical limitations should seek medical advice and instruction from the fitness
facility prior to using this equipment. Certain physical conditions or limitations may preclude some
persons from using this equipment properly and without increasing the risk of serious injury.
