Introduction
This document gives requirements and test methods for transportation of passengers on a carrier cycle.
Because of the diversity of geometries and solutions of carrier cycles not all requirements and test
methods in this document may apply to every carrier cycle.
Experts in the field of passive safety and ergonomics, especially regarding children, are invited to join the
standardization process and provide input for future improvements of this standard.
1 Scope
This document applies to the transportation of passengers in a forward- or rearward-facing position on
a carrier cycle as defined in the other parts of this standard series.
This document does not apply to the transportation of children in a child seat that is tested according to
EN 14344:2022.
This document applies to the intended riding purpose commuting and leisure with moderate effort, see
EN 17406:2020+A1:2021.
NOTE Some European countries have special legislation for transporting children on cycles. Compliance with
this document might not meet this legislation.

— IEC Electropedia: available at https://www.electropedia.org/
3.1
access zone
zone which it is anticipated that a transported passenger can reach with his/her hands or feet
3.2
belt adjusting device
device enabling the belt to be adjusted according to the requirements of the individual wearer and to the
position of the seat
Note 1 to entry: The adjusting device may be part of the buckle, or a retractor, or any other part of the belt.
3.3
buckle
quick-release device enabling the wearer to be held by the belt
Note 1 to entry: The buckle may incorporate the adjusting device, except in the case of a harness belt buckle.
3.4
infant carrier
restraint system intended to accommodate the child in a rearward-facing semi-recumbent position
3.5
ISOFIX
system that provides a method of connecting an infant carrier to a vehicle
Note 1 to entry: It is based on two vehicle anchorages and two corresponding attachments on the infant carrier in
conjunction with a means to limit the pitch rotation of the infant carrier
3.6
passenger
person who is seated on the carrier cycle but does not actively participate in the propulsion of the vehicle
3.7
protected volume
volume accessible by the passenger, when sitting and restrained in the seat, where specific safety
requirements are necessary
3.8
restraint system
system for a specific vehicle type or a type defined by the vehicle manufacturer consisting of a seat and a
belt assembly fixed to the vehicle by appropriate means and consisting additionally of all elements which
are provided to diminish the risk of injury to the wearer, in the event of an abrupt vehicle deceleration,
by limiting the mobility of the wearer’s body
3.9
safety-belt
seat-belt
belt
belt assembly
arrangement of straps with a securing buckle, adjusting devices and attachments which is capable of
being anchored to the structure of a carrier cycle and is designed to diminish the risk of injury to its
wearer, in the event of collision or of abrupt deceleration of the cycle, by limiting the mobility of the
wearer’s body
Note 1 to entry: Such an arrangement is generally referred to as a ‘belt assembly’, which also embraces any device
for absorbing energy or for retracting the belt.
3.10
seat
device for the rider and passenger to sit on that is not designed in accordance with the principle of a cycle
saddle
