Introduction
This document gives requirements and test methods for mechanical and functional aspects for multi-
track carrier cycles.
This document has been developed in response to demand throughout Europe. Its aim is to provide a
standard for the assessment of mechanical aspects for single-track carrier cycles of a type which are
excluded from type approval by Regulation (EU) No. 168/2013.
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.
Following the completion of a risk analysis, the focus is on mechanical aspects for single-track carrier
cycles. This document is a type C standard as specified in EN ISO 12100:2010. The machinery concerned
and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are indicated in the scope of
this document.

1 Scope
This document applies to multi track carrier cycles with a maximum gross vehicle weight of 300 kg, with
or without electric assistance.
NOTE Electric assistance will be covered in a separate part of this standard series.
