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).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

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).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

ISO 20957-2 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 136, Sports, playground and other recreational facilities and equipment, in collaboration with
ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 83, Sports and other recreational facilities and equipment, in accordance
with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 20957-2:2005), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— the formulation has been aligned to ISO 20957-1;
— specific terms and definitions for Part 2 have been added to Clause 3;
— Clause 5 has been specified and restructured;
— Clause 6 has been specified and restructured;
— Additional requirements for externally loaded equipment have been added to Clause 5 and 6;

Stationary training equipment —
Part 2:
Strength training equipment, additional specific safety
requirements and test methods
1 Scope
This part of ISO 20957 specifies additional safety requirements for stationary strength training
equipment in addition to the general safety requirements of ISO 20957-1.
This part of ISO 20957 is applicable to stationary training equipment type strength training equipment
with stack weight resistance or other means of resistance like elastic cords, hydraulic, pneumatic,
electrical, magnetic, springs and externally loaded weights (type 2) (hereinafter referred to as training
equipment) with the classes H, S and I according to ISO 20957-1.
NOTE Free-weight barbell racks are subject to the requirements of ISO 20957-4 and ISO 20957-1.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 12100, Safety of machinery — General principles for design — Risk assessment and risk reduction
ISO 20957-1, Stationary training equipment — Part 1: General safety requirements and test methods
ISO/TR 7250-2:2010, Basic human body measurements for technological design — Part 2: Statistical
summaries of body measurements from national populations
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 20957-1 and the following apply.
3.1
selectorized equipment
strength training equipment where the resistance means is a load that is an integral part of the device
and can be varied by the user without adding or removing components to and from the equipment
3.2
externally loaded equipment
strength training equipment where the main resistance means is a load that is not an integral part of
the device and can be varied by the user by adding or removing components to and from the equipment
Note 1 to entry: Components to be added or removed are e. g. weight discs or bands.

3.3
guided barbell equipment
various types of vertical or inclined frame structure with an integral constrained bar for loading
weight plates which travels along a guided path with indexing engagement means that allow the bar to
be started and stopped at multiple positions along the range of travel
Note 1 to entry: Examples are shown in Figure 1b) and Figure 1c). Commonly used names for this equipment are
"Smith press", "Smith Machine" and "multipress".
3.4
drop stop
a permanent or adjustable constructive element creating a preset minimum stop position that provides
the user with clearance to avoid entrapment without any further action of the user
3.5

rest or holder for a barbell on a guided barbell equipment, or for a carriage on a sled leg press need to
engaged by the user, from which the user can begin the exercise motion or end at the completion of the
exercise
3.6
maximum storage load
load that can be applied to weight post and/or external weight storage equipment as specified by the
manufacturer
3.7
maximum specified training load
maximum working load as specified by the manufacturer, but not including the user weight
3.8
work arm
a component of a strength training equipment that allows the user to activate a resistance means
controlled and directed motion for a specific exercise
Note 1 to entry: An example for equipment where this component is relevant is shown in Figure 1a).
3.9
training resistance
force or torque exerted by the user to perform the exercise
3.10
weight post
structure protruding from the frame of externally loaded equipment for the purpose of holding weight
either for a resistance means or for storage
3.11
work arm actuated externally loaded training equipment
equipment where the external load is attached directly or indirectly to a movement mechanism that is
displaced intentionally by the user
Note 1 to entry: An example is shown in Figure 1a).
3.12
guided externally loaded strength training equipment
equipment where the external load is placed on a weight post affixed to a carriage that is moving on
guided path
Note 1 to entry: Examples are shown in Figure 1b) and Figure 1c).
