1、Designation: F2194 161Standard Consumer Safety Specification forBassinets and Cradles1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2194; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in
2、 parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEEditorially corrected 2.3 in June 2016.INTRODUCTIONThis consumer safety performance specification addresses infant bassinet and cradle incidentsidentif
3、ied by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).In response to the incident data compiled by the CPSC, this consumer safety performancespecification attempts to minimize the following hazards: (1) suffocation, (2) tip over, (3) collapse, and(4) hood detachment. It also addresses corner pos
4、t extensions, which may catch pacifier cords, ribbons,necklaces, or clothing which a child may be wearing and which may be caught on a projection. Thisspecification does not cover products that are blatantly misused or used in a careless manner thatdisregards the safety instructions and warnings pro
5、vided with each bassinet or cradle.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification covers performancerequirements, test methods, and marking requirements topromote safe use of bassinets and cradles.1.2 This consumer safety performance specification is in-tended to minimize the risks of incidents to a
6、n infant resultingfrom normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of abassinet or cradle.1.3 This consumer safety performance specification coversproducts primarily intended to provide sleeping accommoda-tions for an infant up to approximately 5 months in age or whenthe child begins to push up on
7、hands and knees, whichevercomes first. Products used in conjunction with an inclinedinfant swing or stroller, or products that are intended to providean inclined sleep surface (head-to-toe direction) of greater than10 from horizontal while in the rest (non-rocking) position arenot covered by this sp
8、ecification.1.3.1 RationaleThe addition of developmental criteriawas added to the 5-month age grade to accommodate varyingmotor skills in children.NOTE 1Cradle swings with an incline less than or equal to 10 fromhorizontal while in the rest (non-rocking) position are covered under thescope of this s
9、tandard. A sleep product that only has inclined sleepingsurfaces (intended to be greater than 10 from horizontal while in the rest(non-rocking) position) does not fall under the scope of this standard. If aproduct can be converted to a bassinet/cradle use mode and meets thedefinition of a bassinet/c
10、radle found in 3.1.1 while in that mode, theproduct shall be included in the scope of this standard, when it is in thebassinet/cradle use mode. For example, strollers that have a carriage/bassinet feature are covered by the stroller/carriage standard when in thestroller use mode. Carriage baskets/ba
11、ssinets that are removable from thestroller base are covered under the scope of this standard when thecarriage basket/bassinet meets the definition of a bassinet/cradle found in3.1.1. Bassinet/cradle attachments to cribs or play yards, as defined in3.1.2 or 3.1.13, are included in the scope of the s
12、tandard when in thebassinet/cradle use mode.1.4 No bassinet or cradle produced after the approval date ofthis consumer safety performance specification shall, either bylabel or other means, indicate compliance with this specifica-tion unless it conforms to all requirements contained herein.1.5 This
13、consumer safety performance specification is notintended to address incidents and injuries resulting fromalteration or unreasonable abuse or misuse of the product by achild or child care giver.1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses ar
14、e mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.7 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion Section 7 of this consumer safety perfor-mance specification. This standard does not purport to addressall of the
15、 safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It isthe responsibility of the user of this standard to establishappropriate safety and health practices and determine theapplicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F15 onCon
