Question 1 of 30
When evaluating a newly designed rowing machine for compliance with ISO 20957-1:2013, a safety inspector identifies a potential pinch point between the sliding seat mechanism and the frame. The inspector is tasked with determining if this gap constitutes a non-compliant hazard. What is the fundamental principle guiding the assessment of this pinch point according to the standard\'s general safety requirements and test methods?
The gap must be assessed using a specified probe to determine if body parts could become entrapped, rather than relying on a pre-defined numerical clearance value for all such points.
The gap must be less than 5 mm to prevent entrapment, as this is the universally accepted safe clearance for all pinch points on fitness equipment.
The inspector must measure the velocity of the moving parts and compare it to a threshold defined in the standard to ascertain the risk of entrapment.
The pinch point is considered safe if the moving parts are clearly labeled with warning signs indicating the potential hazard.
