Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTESubsection 8.3 was editorially corrected in February 2009.INTRODUCTIONThis consumer safety specification addresses infant swing incidents identified by the
3、U.S. ConsumerProduct Safety Commission (CPSC).In response to incident data compiled by the CPSC, this consumer safety specification attempts tominimize the following: (1) swings tipping over or collapsing, (2) structural failures, and (3)entanglement in the restraints or entrapment in leg holes. Thi
4、s consumer safety specification isintended to cover normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse or abuse of infant swings. Thisspecification does not cover swings that are blatantly misused or used in a careless manner thatdisregards the safety instructions and warnings provided with each infant sw
5、ing.This consumer safety specification is written within the current state-of-the-art of infant swingtechnology and will be updated whenever substantive information becomes available that necessitatesadditional requirements or justifies the revision of existing requirements.1. Scope1.1 This consumer
6、 safety specification establishes safetyperformance requirements, test methods, and labeling require-ments to minimize the hazards to infants presented by swingsas identified in the introduction.1.2 This consumer safety specification is intended to mini-mize the risk of injuries to infants resulting
7、 from normal useand reasonably foreseeable misuse or abuse of infant swings. Itis not intended to address all incidents and injuries resultingfrom the interaction of other persons with the infant in theswing.1.3 No swing produced after the approval date of thisconsumer safety specification shall, ei
8、ther by label or othermeans, indicate compliance with this specification unless itconforms to all requirements contained herein.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for infor
9、mation onlyand are not considered standard.1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion, Section 7, of this consumer safety speci-fication: This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility
10、of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
