Scope

1.1 These test methods specify procedures and equipment used for testing and evaluating a motorized treadmill for compliance to Specification F2115. Both design and operational parameters will be evaluated. Where possible and applicable, accepted test methods from other recognized bodies will be used and referenced. In case of a conflict between this document and Specification F2115, Specification F2115 takes precedence. 1.2 This test method is to be used in conjunction with Specification F2276, Test Methods F2571, and Specification F2115. 1.3 This standard takes precedence over Specification F2276 and Test Methods F2571 in areas that are specific to motorized treadmills. 1.4 Requirements—A motorized treadmill is to be tested for all of the following parameters: 1.4.1 Stability, 1.4.2 Exterior design, 1.4.3 Endurance loading, 1.4.4 Static loading, 1.4.5 Adjustable incline system, 1.4.6 Controls, 1.4.7 Motorized drive system, 1.4.8 Folding treadmills, 1.4.9 Additional universal design requirements, 1.4.10 Documentation, 1.4.11 Marking, and 1.4.12 Warnings/Warning labels. 1.5 This test method2 contains additional requirements to address the accessibility of the equipment for persons with disabilities. 1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parenthesis 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.8 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. 1 These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F08 on Sports Equipment, Playing Surfaces, and Facilities and are the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F08.30 on Fitness Products. Current edition approved June 1, 2018. Published July 2018. Originally approved in 2001. Last previous edition approved in 2012 as F2106 – 12.
