This question is raised because the general requirements for the safety of fitness equipment put forward very strict requirements for the safe service life of outdoor fitness equipment, even those outdoor fitness enthusiasts may not have paid attention to the service life of the equipment.

Safe service life is divided into three categories. The first category is the horizontal bar and parallel bars, which have the elastic properties of the bar surface. Because the operator is high from the ground when exercising, it is difficult and dangerous to exercise, and the elastic deformation caused by repeated use for a long time is easy to cause fatigue cracks and fractures of the horizontal bar. On the basis of reference to the safe service life of competitive horizontal bar 1 year, the stipulated safe service life is two years. The second category is equipment with rotating, swinging or sliding parts, such as baby carriages, swings, rocking chairs, seesaws and other equipment. Due to the frequent wear and tear of various moving parts during use, the safe service life of this kind of equipment is determined to be 4 years with reference to the normal service life of general mechanical equipment, in the outdoor environment and under the condition of basically no daily management, combined with the service life of outdoor fitness equipment in use. The third category is other stable equipment without any movable parts, such as fixed stepping piles, balance beams (actually steel parts), fixed stairs, climbing walls, sit-ups and so on. Because there is no wear and collision of all parts, it is determined that the safe service life of these equipment is 6 years in the outdoor environment and basically without daily management.
