1、Designation: F3021 16F3021 17Standard Specification forUniversal Design of Fitness Equipment for Inclusive Use byPersons with Functional Limitations and Impairments1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F3021; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforigin
2、al adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe goal of this specification is to promote proper design and ma
3、nufacturing practices for fitnessequipment intended for use by persons with functional limitations and impairments. Through thesespecifications, this standard aims to assist designers and manufacturers in reducing the possibility ofinjury when these products are used in accordance with the operation
4、al instructions.The equipment user must recognize, however, that the standard alone will not necessarily preventinjuries. Like other physical activities, exercise involving fitness equipment involves the risk of injury,particularly if the equipment is used improperly or not properly maintained. In a
5、ddition, users withphysical limitations should seek medical advice and instruction from the fitness facility prior to usingthis equipment. Certain physical conditions or limitations may preclude some persons from using theequipment properly and without increasing this equipment as intended by the ma
6、nufacturer, and usingthis equipment may increase the risk of serious injury.1. Scope1.1 This specification2 established additional requirements not set forth in the referenced ASTM standards for the design ofcommercial fitness equipment to increase access and user independence by people with functio
7、nal limitations or impairments.1.2 The intent of this specification is to assureensure that the fitness product being designed for inclusive use by individuals withand without functional limitations or impairments remains functional and safe when the equipment is operated according to themanufacture
8、rs operational instructions.1.3 It is the intent of this specification to specify products for indoor use in a commercial environment by individuals age 13and above.1.4 Products designed to meet this specification must not be automatically classified as fit for medical or rehabilitation fitnesspurpo
9、ses. Products intended for medical use should comply with any applicable international or national standards.1.5 Where users are exercising from a wheelchair, it is the intent of this specification to specify products for use by individualsusing manual or powered wheelchairs (including scooters) (A1
10、.4.5).1.6 This standard does not purport to address the needs of every possible user and recognizes that access will not be possiblefor all individuals or all types of assistive technologies.1.7 Designers shall use this specification in conjunction with other ASTM fitness equipment standards and its
11、 accompanyingtest method.1.8 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this s
12、tandard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.1 This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F08 on Sports Equipment, Playing Surfaces, and Facilities and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommitte
