  "heading": "General safety requirements",
  "text": "The products shall comply with the general safety requirement referred to in Directive 2001/95/EC and be ‘safe’ within the meaning of Article 2(b) thereof. In particular, the product shall be safe under normal and foreseeable conditions of use (including, for example, storage, transport to the storage space, installation, dismantling and maintenance) throughout the life of the product. The equipment should also be safe for professional users (e.g. trainers, teachers).\nDuring normal reasonable and foreseeable conditions of stationary training equipment the risk of injury or damage to health and safety shall be minimised. All parts accessible to the user — or third parties — during normal or intended use shall not cause physical injuries or influence the health of the user negatively.\nUsers shall be informed of the risks and dangers likely to occur and how to prevent them.\nAlthough training equipment is not intended for children, these products are becoming increasingly popular at home and may therefore be easily accessible to them. Accidents with home equipment involving children can lead to severe injuries (mainly to fingers and toes), as well as burns, lacerations and strangulations. Where such risks cannot be sufficiently minimised by design or safeguards, the residual risk shall be addressed by product-related information directed at parents or caregivers.",
