Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to the technical requirements and testing methods for passenger handholds (straps and handles) and footrests on motorcycles. Specifically, it covers two-wheeled motorcycles, the main vehicle of side-vehicle-equipped three-wheeled motorcycles, and positive three-wheeled motorcycles utilizing a saddle seat configuration. It is mandatory for all newly approved models and existing approved models within 25 months of implementation. The standard also governs auxiliary or additional devices serving these functions.
Technical requirements
The standard outlines general and special requirements for passenger support devices. For handhold straps and handles, the standard mandates specific installation positions to ensure passenger convenience and specifies strict load-bearing capacities against vertical upward forces. For footrests, it dictates minimum spatial dimensions for foot placement and requires structural integrity against vertical downward pressure. Furthermore, the standard requires that assistive devices and additional devices with handhold or footrest functions must meet the corresponding category requirements. Manufacturers must explicitly declare the passenger handhold system and the locations of all devices in the vehicle's technical documentation.
Testing methods
GB 20075-2020 introduces specific test methods detailed in its normative appendices. This includes the Strap Device Test (Appendix A), the Handle Device Test (Appendix B), and the Footrest Device Test (Appendix C). These tests evaluate the structural integrity of the devices by applying static vertical forces to specific points on the devices until the required load limits are reached. Devices must not fracture, detach, or suffer permanent deformation affecting functionality to pass the tests.
