Which document you need and why
CU TR 007/2011 certificate for children's and teenage bicycles; 010/2011 declaration for adults
Children's and teenage bicycles within CU TR 007/2011 are certified, while bicycles other than children's bicycles are listed for declaration under CU TR 010/2011. The document covers identified models and supports market entry; an advertised age range alone is insufficient. A small bicycle classed as a toy and an electrically assisted model require separate identification rather than automatic use of the ordinary adult bicycle route.
