As a result, bicycles that comply with these standards are presumed to conform with the EU General Product Safety Directive 2001\/95\/EC that \u201clays down an obligation on producers to place only safe products on the market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;The four different CEN standards that were published in the EU Official Journal are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>EN 14764 for City and Trekking bicycles<\/li><li>EN 14766 for Mountain bicycles<\/li><li>EN 14781 for Racing bicycles<\/li><li>EN 14872 for Bicycles \u2013 Accessories for bicycles \u2013 Luggage carriers<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>References to EN 14765, the safety standard for bicycles for young children and to EN 14872 for luggage carriers have not yet been published in the Official Journal.<br>&nbsp;<br>CEN standards are designed to ensure a minimal level of product quality and to strengthen consumer protection legislation. In court liability cases, it will be easier to prove the safety of a product if the bike has been tested according to the CEN standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These standards apply in all 27 EU member states. They contain safety requirements for the most important bicycles components like brake systems, transmission systems, handlebars, stems, frames &amp; front forks and saddles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All Velocite products that are subject to CEN\/EN tests are tested to comply with the relevant standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some examples of EN&nbsp;testing of Velocite products:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IJ8qQ_vUTRI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
