Foreword
The technical subclauses of Clause 3 of this Standard are mandatory, and the
remaining subclauses are recommended.
This Standard is identical to the International Standard ISO 8098.2002 “Cycles
- Safety requirements for bicycles for young children”.
This Standard applies to bicycles intended to be ridden by young children aged
from four to eight years (bicycles having saddle heights between 435 mm and
635 mm). These bicycles are not intended to be ridden on public roads and
shall not be presumed to be suitably equipped for being ridden on public roads
(toy bicycles having saddle heights less than 435 mm shall meet the
requirements of GB 6675 “National safety technical code for toys”).
Bicycles that meet the requirements of this Standard are not toy bicycles and
therefore are not in the category of toy safety.
This Standard is not applicable to bicycles intended for stunting.
Compared with GB 14746-1993, the main changes of this Standard are as
follows.
- GIVE a more detailed description of protrusions, with a figure for examples;
(3.1.2)
- ADD the safety requirements for fasteners; (3.1.3)
- IMPROVE the requirements for the brake system; (3.2.1.1)
- ADD the requirements for handlebar grips; (3.3.2)
- IMPROVE the strength requirements for the frame/fork assembly; (3.4)
- IMPROVE the requirements for the rotational trueness of wheels; (3.6.1.2;
3.6.1.3)
- INCREASE the clearance between the tyre and the frame, fork, mudguard
or mudguard fixing after assembly of wheels to prevent fingers from being
pinched; (3.6.2)
- ADD the requirements for wheel retention; (3.6.4)
- ADD the requirements for saddle strength. (3.9.4)
From the date of implementation, this Standard replace GB 14746-1993 “Safety
requirements for bicycles for young children” and GB 13472-1992 “Safety
requirements of BMX children bicycles”.
This Standard was proposed by China Light Industry Association.
This Standard shall be under the jurisdiction of National Technical Committee
on Toys of Standardization Administration of China.

Safety requirements for bicycles for young children
1 Scope
This Standard specifies terms and definitions of bicycles for young children of
from about four to eight years of age, as well as these bicycles’ safety and
performance requirements and test methods for the design, assembly and
testing. It also provides guidelines for instructions on the use and care of the
bicycles.
This Standard is applicable to bicycles with a maximum saddle height of more
than 435 mm and less than 635 mm, propelled by a transmitted drive to the rear
wheel.
This Standard is not applicable to special bicycles intended for stunting.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1 cycle
Any vehicle that has at least two wheels and is propelled solely by the muscular
energy of the person on that vehicle, in particular by means of pedals.
2.2 bicycle
Two-wheeled cycle.
NOTE. The bicycles in this Standard refer to two-wheeled cycles.
2.3 saddle height
Vertical distance from the ground to the top of the seat surface, measured with
the seat in a horizontal position and with the seat pillar set to the minimum
insertion depth.
2.4 braking force
Force tangential to the tyre resisting rotation of the wheel when the brake is
applied.
