This European Standard specifies the technical requirements, the appropriate dimensions and the requirements for testing. This European Standard applies to castors and wheels (which may include accessories) for manually propelled or power towed industrial applications up to 1,1 m/s (4 km/h). This European Standard does not apply to castors and wheels for furniture, swivel chairs, institutional, hospital beds and driven applications. Castors for specialised applications may also have to conform to other specific standards.
