DIN EN ISO 11243:2016-12

This International Standard has been developed in response to demand throughout the world, and the aim has been to ensure that luggage carrier manufactured in compliance with it will be as safe as is practically possible. The tests have been designed to ensure the strength and durability of the luggage carrier, demanding high quality throughout and consideration of safety aspects from the design stage onwards. The scope has been limited to safety considerations and has specifically avoided standardization of components. This International Standard specifies safety and performance requirements for the design and testing of luggage carriers intended for mounting (with or without tool) above and adjacent to the wheels of cycles and lays down guide lines for instructions on the use and care of such luggage carriers. This International Standard does not apply to removable luggage (for example, handlebar bags or baskets that are not permanently attached). Toy carrier intended to be mounted on bicycles for young children in the scope of ISO 8098 are not covered by this standard. The standard distinguishes between normal rear luggage carriers, frame-mounted beam carriers, seat post-mounted beam carriers, front mounted carriers, front mounted carriers with a low-lying loading area and front-mounted containers. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 112-06-02 AA "Fahrrad-Zubehör" ("Accessories for bicycles") at DIN.
