For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
cable lock cable made of steel wire, in a single or spiral loop, with one end permanently attached to the lock housing.
chain and lock combinationchain with a detachable lock.
chain lock chain combined with a padlock or U-shackle lock.
combination lock lock that can be operated without a key and unlocked by moving parts of the lock in a certain pattern(combination of movements).
cycle any vehicle that has at least two wheels and is propelled solely or mainly by the muscular energy of theperson on that vehicle, in particular by means of pedals.
A cycle lock shall be so designed that when it is mounted according to the manufacturer’s instructionsand locked, it shall fulfil all of the following requirements:
a) cycle cannot be either ridden or pushed along in a normal way and the rotation of at least one wheel is
prevented, and
b) it is not possible to remove the lock by detaching a part of the cycle that is easy to detach and attach (e.g.
a wheel or a seat-post), and
c)it is not possible to remove or unlock it by deforming a part of the cycle (e.g. the front fork or the seat-
stays) unless such deformation prevents the future normal use of the cycle.
For safety reasons, it shall not be possible for a permanently-mounted cycle lock or for a removablecycle lock, when mounted according to the manufacturer’s instructions, to interfere with the normal and safeuse of the cycle.
For the requirements in clauses 4.3.1 to 4.3.5 deviations from the requirements are permitted if thesame level of security can be achieved with other solutions. The assessment of any other such solutions shallbe presented in the test report.BS EN 15496 pdf download.
