Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
GB 24436-2009 applies to rehabilitation training instruments used by individuals with physical dysfunctions in rehabilitation facilities or at home under the guidance of medical or nursing staff. It covers general safety requirements and testing methods for these devices. This standard is mandatory for all manufacturers of rehabilitation training equipment entering the Chinese market. It references GB 4706.1 for electrical safety and GB 19272-2003 for outdoor fitness equipment requirements.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies comprehensive safety requirements across several categories. Structural design mandates clearances to prevent shearing, crushing, and pinching hazards, with specific spatial requirements for wheelchair-accessible training positions. Manufacturers must ensure that moving parts maintain safe distances from fixed components to prevent user injury. Regarding safety protection devices, the standard requires upper limb support protection for lower limb swing training, anti-slip foot pedals, and safety grab bars for equipment higher than 500mm. Protective belts for standing training must have a minimum width, and counterweight blocks must be shielded if outside the user's field of vision. The standard also details mechanical strength and stability. Free-standing equipment must have a tilt angle of no less than 10 degrees and must not displace under specific horizontal force. Static load tests require components bearing full body weight to withstand 2000N, while fatigue testing mandates over 100,000 cycles without damage. Additional requirements cover environmental and aesthetic factors, including noise limits not exceeding 60dB(A), restrictions on irritating materials like fiberglass in user contact areas, and anti-corrosion treatments for metal surfaces. Manufacturers must clearly state the safe service life in the user manual.
Testing methods
Testing procedures include stability tests (measuring ground flatness and tilt angles), static load tests (applying forces up to 2000N to load-bearing parts, protective belts, and handles for 5 minutes), and fatigue tests (cycling moving parts over 100,000 times at ≤1Hz). Environmental testing includes noise measurement at a 1-meter radius under maximum load, and electrical safety verification according to GB 4706.1.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 24436-2009?
GB 24436-2009 regulates rehabilitation training instruments designed for individuals with physical dysfunctions. This includes equipment used in clinical rehabilitation settings or at home, provided the training is guided by rehabilitation physicians or nursing staff.
Are there any mandatory sections in GB 24436-2009?
Yes, Chapter 5 and section 7.2 are mandatory. Chapter 5 covers general safety requirements including structural design, protective devices, and mechanical strength. Section 7.2 mandates permanent warning labels regarding unsupervised use and specific user groups like the elderly and children.
Does GB 24436-2009 reference other standards?
Yes, it references GB 4706.1 for the electrical safety of household and similar appliances, and GB 19272-2003 for the safety of outdoor fitness equipment, specifically for devices installed outdoors.
