Construction and Safety Requirements for Off-road Motorcycles
ACEM Industry Standard
ACEM has established a standard of Construction and Safety Requirements for Off-road Motorcycles in the absence of a specific European harmonised standard and in preparation of the work of a future CEN standard.
In the context of this standard, the term “off‐road motorcycle” refers to single track, two‐wheeled, ride‐on vehicles that are not intended to travel on the public road.
This standard represents the state-of-the-art of off-road motorcycles. However it cannot not give presumption of conformity with the essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive as only a harmonised standard can do that. A harmonised standard is currently under preparation by CEN TC354 WG1. Users of this standard are advised to closely follow the work by CEN.
This Industry Standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of off‐road motorcycles. In the case that particularities of the vehicle require alternative levels of safety, other provisions, tailored to the specific vehicle design, can be applied as well.
In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100 for relevant but not significant hazards, which are not dealt with by this standard.
