3 Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this standard.
3.1
Child tricycles
A wheeled vehicle, where the contact points of each wheel with the ground shall be
able to form a triangle or trapezoid, meanwhile the front wheel is driven by human
power only by pedals. If the shape formed by the contact points of the wheels with
the ground is a trapezoid, the width of the narrow wheel track shall be less than half
of the wide wheel track.
3.2
Track
The distance between two wheels with a common axle, i.e., the outer dimensions of
the two wheels in contact with the ground (see Figure 1).
Analysis result correction value = 120 - 120 × 30% = 120 - 36 = 84 (mg/kg).
This figure is considered to meet the requirements of this standard (the maximum limit of
migratable lead in Table 1 is 90 mg/kg).
4.1.2 Combustion performance

riser/fork assembly and other parts shall not be damaged.
4.5.4 Saddle
4.5.4.1 Saddle tube insertion depth
If the saddle tube is an adjustable structure, there shall be a permanent mark or ring on
the saddle tube to clearly indicate the minimum insertion depth of the saddle tube into
the frame (i.e., the maximum height to which the saddle can be adjusted). The mark

5 Test methods
5.1 General requirements
5.1.1 Test samples
In principle, all tests shall be conducted on the same sample.
The test sequence shall be for the items that do not damage the sample first, then the
items that damage the sample. If the degree of damage to the sample after the test makes
it impossible to conduct subsequent test items, the remaining items can be tested on a
new sample.
5.1.2 Test instrument accuracy
Unless otherwise specified, the force measurement accuracy in this standard is ±5%;
the mass measurement accuracy is ±1%; the angle measurement accuracy is ±1°; the
measurement accuracy of all dimensions is ±0.5 mm.
5.1.3 Test environment
Unless otherwise specified, the sample shall be placed in an environment at a
temperature of 23 °C ± 5 °C for at least 2 h before testing; the test shall be carried out
in an environment at a temperature of 23 °C ± 10 °C.
5.2 Test for specific migratable elements (see 4.1.1)
The test method for specific migratable elements in materials and parts and components
used on tricycles, that meet the scope of Chapter C.1 of GB 6675-2003, shall be tested
in accordance with the test method specified in Appendix C of GB 6675-2003.
5.3 Combustion performance test (see 4.1.2)
The test method for the combustion performance of materials of child tricycles shall be
carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of Appendix B of GB 6675-2003.
5.4 Drop test (see 4.2, 4.5.4.2)
The load specified in Table 3 is tied to the saddle. If there is a back-treadle, the load
shall also be installed on the back-treadle or on the appropriate rearmost part of the
saddle according to the requirements of 5.8 (backward tilting stability test). A 4.5 kg
load is firmly fixed on each handle cover.
of at least 330 N shall be applied, vertically downward at a point within 25 mm from
the front or rear end of the saddle, that can produce a larger torque on the saddle clamp.
After removing this force, a force of 110 N shall be applied, horizontally at a point
within 25 mm from the front or rear end of the saddle, that can produce a larger torque
on the saddle clamp.
5.14 Impact test (see 4.5.5)
Place the child tricycle on a flat horizontal ground in a normal riding state. Let a sand
bag with a mass of 20 kg and a bottom diameter of 200 mm fall freely from a height of
200 mm above the center point of the saddle to the saddle surface. Repeat the test three
times.
5.15 Backrest structural firmness test (see 4.5.6)
Place the child tricycle on a flat horizontal ground in a normal riding state. Fix the front
and rear wheels, to prevent the tricycle from moving during the test. Apply a force of
200 N horizontally backward at the center of the top of the backrest. The force is
gradually applied within 5 s and maintained for 10 s before unloading, as a cycle. The
interval between each two cycles does not exceed 10 s; 10 cycles are repeated.
5.16 Assist-push-rod strength test (see 4.5.7)
Place the child tricycle on a flat level ground in a normal riding state. Measure the
distance from the saddle to the pedals (C' dimension, see Figure 2). Load the center of
the saddle according to the load specified in Table 3. Its center of gravity shall be 150
mm above the geometric center of the saddle surface.
Block the rear wheel with a block, to prevent it from moving during the test. In the use
position set by the manufacturer, press the assist-push-rod backward without impact to
make the front wheel 10 mm off the ground and keep it for 3 min.
Block the front wheel with a block again, to prevent it from moving or turning to the
sides of the vehicle body during the test. In the use position set by the manufacturer,
pull the assist-push-rod forward without impact, to make the rear wheel 30 mm off the
ground and keep it for 3 min.
After repeating the above process 10 times, check the assist-push-rod and its connection
with the tricycle body.
