ISO 8098:2014 specifies safety and performance requirements and test methods for the design, assembly and testing of fully assembled bicycles and sub-assemblies for young children. It also provides guidelines for instructions on the use and care of the bicycles.

ISO 8098:2014 is applicable to bicycles with a maximum saddle height of more than 435 mm and less than 635 mm, propelled by a transmitted drive to the rear wheel.

ISO 8098:2014 is not applicable to special bicycles intended for performing stunts (e.g. BMX bicycles).
