1、Designation: F2918 11 (Reapproved 2015) An American National StandardStandard Test Method forWeighing a Bicycle1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2918; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of

2、last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers requirements for weighing andmarketing bicycles, including all adult, and childrens bicycles.1

3、.2 This standard may contain test methods that do notentirely simulate real life situations. The test methods aredesigned to give reproducible results in a laboratory and,thereby, a means for product comparison.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measur

4、ement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limit
