You are going to like this, it contains test standards

http://www.bike-eu.com/public/file/a...lish-draft.pdf


Check these for other standards.

This European Standard is completely new and is one of a series being produced to cover all types of bicycle. Standards in this series are:

* EN 14764 City and trekking bicycles - Safety requirements and test methods
* TC 333 WI 00333002 Cycles - Vocabulary - Terminology (ISO 8090:1990 Modified)
* EN 14765 Bicycles for young children - Safety requirements and test methods
* EN 14766 Mountain bicycles – Safety requirements and test methods
* EN 14781 Racing bicycles - Safety requirements and test methods
* prEN 14872 Bicycles - Accessories for bicycles - Luggage carriers
* prEN 15194 Cycles - Electrically power assisted cycles - EPAC bicycle

Personally I am going to stick with the time proven method of wearing a helmet during test drives.

By the way, when these came out there were reports of classic frame designs failing these test while department store aluminum bikes were acing the tests...
