The requirements of the existing partially Mandatory Standards, SI 4210 parts 1 through 9, dealing with bicycles, shall be declared mandatory also relating to mountain bicycles. This declaration is in-line with the mandatory standardization objective to protect human safety.

Till now, the mandatory requirements applied only to city and trekking bicycles, and to bicycles designed for young adults. In this declaration, the Commissioner of Standardization recommends declaring that also the requirements for mountain bicycles shall be compulsory.

After the entry into force of this declaration, all types of bicycles covered by the 

mandatory requirements of these standards shall be classified under Israel's Import Group no. 3, i.e., these types of bicycles will be considered as a commodity with a low level of danger. Therefore, only a Supplier's Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) is required for releasing these goods from customs.

The Mandatory Standards, SI 4210 parts 1 through 9 adopt respectively the International Standards ISO 4210 parts 1-9 - First edition: 2014-07-01 with a few changes and national deviations that appear in each standard's Hebrew section.
