10、ublication referred to Inside back coverBS2099:1989 ii BSI 06-1999 Foreword This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Health Care Standards Committee. It supersedes BS2099-1:1970, which is withdrawn. This standard was originally published as BS2099 and revised in 1970 as Par

11、t1 because, at that time, the intention was to issue further Parts to specify requirements for castors for other purposes. Although that is still the intention, these standards will not now be published as Parts of BS2099. The Part number has therefore been dropped. A number of changes have been mad

12、e to the standard to bring its requirements into line with current practice and the main changes made from the previous edition are as follows. a) The scope of the standard has been restricted to castors with wheels having diameters from63mm to250mm. b) The lightweight class of castor has been delet

13、ed together with the drive plug type of fitting as this was only used on lightweight castors. c) Requirements have been included for castors with a centrally-operated directional or total lock system. Test methods for the locking system have also been introduced. d) Requirements are no longer includ

14、ed for materials and finish. e) The identification code for castors has been expanded to encompass different locking systems and it is now required that all castors are marked with an identification code. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. User

15、s of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages1to8, an inside back cover and a bac

This will be indicated in the amendment table on theinside front cover.BS2099:1989 BSI 06-1999 1 1 Scope This British Standard specifies requirements for castors having diameters from63mm to250mm i

17、ntended for use on items of hospital equipment used for the transport of patients, equipment that is frequently mobile in use and equipment used within the operating theatre, for example patient trolleys, beds, cylinder trolleys and instrument trolleys. Castors intended for use on hospital furniture

18、 which is used only on the ward and which is infrequently mobile, for example bedside lockers and four fold screens, together with castors intended for use on heavy mobile equipment, for example portable X-ray machines and food trolleys, are outside the scope of this standard. NOTEThe title of the p

19、ublication referred to in this standard is given on the inside back cover. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard, the following definitions apply. 2.1 swivel castor a castor that is free to swivel without restriction about its vertical axis 2.2 fixed castor a castor that cannot swi

20、vel about its vertical axis NOTEFixed castors are also known as fixed wheel brackets, rigids, stationary castors and non-swivel castors. 2.3 inclined axle castor a castor having an axle inclined to the horizontal plane 2.4 twin wheel castor a castor comprising two wheels that are free to rotate inde

21、pendently 2.5 swept radius the radius of the circle produced by the outer edge of the wheel of a swivel castor, when swivelling about its vertical axis, measured through the horizontal plane of the axle NOTEWheel locks, swivel locks and brake fittings may project beyond the swept radius. 2.6 wheel l

22、ock a device that immobilizes the wheel and is applied when stationary 2.7 directional lock a device that immobilizes only the swivel action of a swivel castor in each of two positions at180 to each other 2.8 total lock a device that immobilizes both the wheel rotation and swivel action and is appli

23、ed when stationary 3 Dimensions of castors and top plates 3.1 Except for swivel castors with a centrally-operated directional or total lock, the dimensions of castors shall be as given in Table 1. 3.2 The dimensions of swivel castors with a centrally-operated directional or total lock shall be as gi

24、ven in Table 2. 3.3 For castors with plate fittings, the dimensions of top plates shall be as given in Table 3. 4 Means of attachment The means of attachment of castors to equipment shall be by one of the following fittings: a) solid plug; b) expansile plug; c) screw plug; d) plate; e) bolt. 5 Perfo

25、rmance 5.1 Swivel and movement on lock 5.1.1 For castors with total lock and directional lock, when tested as described in Appendix A, there shall be no movement of the swivel. 5.1.2 For castors with total lock and wheel lock, when tested as described in Appendix B, there shall be no movement of the

26、 wheel. 5.2 Tyre wear, wheel rock and swivel rock When tested as described in Appendix C, all castors shall comply with the following requirements. a) The reduction in wheel diameter shall not exceed3% of the original diameter. b) The maximum wheel rock shall be as given in Table 4. c) For swivel ca

27、stors, the maximum swivel rock shall be as given in Table 4. For castors with a total lock, directional lock or wheel lock, the test described in Appendix C shall be carried out after testing for compliance with the requirements given in5.1.1 and/or5.1.2, as appropriate.BS2099:1989 2 BSI 06-1999 6 A

28、ntistatic castors When tested as described in Appendix D, castors marked as being antistatic (see7.2) shall have a maximum resistance of10k7. 7 Identification and marking 7.1 All castors shall be permanently and legibly marked or labelled with the following: a) the name and/or trade mark of the manu

29、facturer; b) the number and date of this British Standard, i.e.BS2099:1989 1) ; c) an identification code comprising the following: 1) the letters HN; 2) a letter(s) to denote a particular feature(s) as follows: S to denote a swivel castor; T to denote incorporation of a total lock; D to denote inco

30、rporation of a directional lock; L to denote incorporation of a centrally-operated locking system. 3) the nominal wheel diameter in millimetres. NOTEAs an example, a swivel castor having a nominal wheel diameter of150mm with a centrally-operated total lock will bear the identification code HNSTL150.

31、 7.2 The outside surface of antistatic castors shall bear a permanent yellow mark not less than500mm 2in area. NOTEThe colour should be as close as possible to colour no.355 Lemon of BS381C.

32、ck 1) Marking BS2099:1989 on or in relation to a product represents a manufacturers declaration of conformity, i.e.a claim by or on behalf of the manufacturer that the product meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of the claim is therefore solely the responsibility of the person makin

33、g the claim. Such a declaration is not to be confused with third party certification of conformity, which may also be desirable.

A.2 Procedure Mount the castor on the test apparatus(A.1.2) with the castor positioned such that the wheel is parallel with the arm of the test apparatus. Apply the load of80kg

45、 to the castor and engage either the total lock or the directional lock, as appropriate. Hook the spring balance(A.1.1) onto the castor mounting collar at90 to the wheel and apply a pull force until the spring balance reads10kg, to take up any slack, and then increase the pull force until the spring

46、 balance reads30kg. Maintain this force for10s. Release the force and then re-apply twice more. Repeat the procedure with the spring balance hooked at90 to the opposite side of the wheel.

Apply the load of80kg to the castor and engage the wheel lock. Hook the spring balance(B.1.1) onto the castor mounting

48、collar parallel to the wheel and apply a pull force until the spring balance reads30kg. Maintain this force for10s. Release the force and then re-apply twice more. Move the spring balance through180 and repeat the procedure. Appendix C Method of test for tyre wear, wheel rock and swivel rock C.1 Pri

49、nciple The castor is subjected to a static load followed by periods of smooth running and hazards running after which any tyre wear, wheel rock and swivel rock are measured. C.2 Test conditions Carry out all tests at an ambient temperature of15 C to20 C. For each part of the test, except for the assessment of wheel rock and swivel rock, mount the castor in its normal vertical operating position on a flat steel surface free from visible dirt and apply the test loads at the point where the castor i
