Safety Mechanical Products
Mechanical products, despite their obvious simplicity, often conceal countless pitfalls and dangers for end users. As a result of increasing media attention to this issue, consumer awareness of the importance of using products that have been tested for safety has increased, to ensure that they remain safe even after long-term use or when subjected to improper but reasonably predictable use.
Below are some examples of products that are subject to tests:
- Outdoor/indoor furniture
- Car accessories (bike racks, ski racks, roof boxes, etc.)
- Bicycle accessories (seats, etc.)
- Sports equipment
- Fitness equipment
- Playgrounds
- Urban furniture
- Scaffolding
- Kiddie Rides
- Inflatable games
