TBIS 15194 :2019
Background description:
EN 15194 the standard of Cycles-Electrically power assisted cycles- EPAC Bicycles,
which announcement in 2017, and it will instead of EN15194:2009 +A1:2011 to be
the most complete standard of electrically power assisted cycles. Although EN 15194
is not a mandatory inspection standard in various economic markets, they are still
requesting their bicycle products suppliers to follow the basis of EN 15194 safety
requirements.
However, this phenomenon represents that they are unable to differentiate the
quality and grade differences between EPAC bicycles and spare parts. In order to
keep up the competitiveness of our bicycle industry in the international market, the
technical expert committee of TBIS uses EN 15194 as their investigation basis and
propose a higher level of product safety and standard service, to establish TBIS
especially for this purpose. To highlight on the quality, performance and reliability of
those components that has passed TBIS inspection, which have already exceeded the
international standard. In the meantime, TBIS is developing on the safety standard
and testing technology on those bicycle parts that are excluded in EN 15194, to
ensure the product and identify the differences between product performance,
which has become an important reference to drive the improvement on Taiwan
bicycle industry Research & Design units.
