Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World Trade
Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 83, Sports and other recreational facilities and
equipment, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 136, Sports, playground and other recreational facilities and equipment, in accordance with the
Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 20957-1:2013), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— Clause 2 was updated;
— Clause 3 was updated by removing, renaming, and adding entries;
— Clause 5 was updated so that 5.3.4 combines requirements for squeeze and shear points and 5.13
combines loading requirements;
— Clause 6 was updated so that 6.15 creates a single test method for loading testing;
— Annex A was added to provide informative examples for carrying out load testing.

Stationary training equipment —
Part 1:
General safety requirements and test methods
1 Scope
This document specifies general safety requirements and test methods for indoor stationary training
equipment. Other parts of the ISO 20957 series can modify the requirements contained in this document.
This document also covers environmental aspects.
It also specifies a classification system (see Clause 4).
This document is applicable to all stationary training equipment. This includes equipment for use in training
areas of organizations such as sport associations, educational establishments, hotels, sport halls, clubs,
rehabilitation centres and studios (classes S and I) where access and control is specifically regulated by the
owner (person who has the legal responsibility), equipment for domestic use (class H) and other types of
equipment including motor driven equipment as defined in 3.1.
The requirements of other parts of the ISO 20957 series take priority over the corresponding requirements
of this general standard.
This document does not apply to stationary training equipment intended for outdoor use. It also does
not apply to stationary training equipment intended for use by children under the age of 14 years, unless
such stationary training equipment is intended for educational purposes in schools and other pedagogical
contexts for children under the supervision of a qualified adult instructor.
