method of testing for durability is specified in 6.2.

NOTE 1 It is recommended that the maximum permissible load (rider plus luggage) is marked at a readily
visible location on the frame by the manufacturer.

a) front fork;
b) handlebar and handlebar stem;
c) seat-post;
d) brake levers, brake blocks, and/or brake-block holders;
e) outer brake-cable casing;
f) hydraulic-brake tubing;
