18、M/309 The Safety of Consumers: drawstrings or cords on childrens clothing, issued 9 March 2001 requested that CEN develop standards or specifications to consider cords and drawstrings on clothing intended for children up to age 14. The aim of this document is to minimise the risk of accidental entra

19、pment by cords or drawstrings on childrens clothing taking into account: a) The childs age. b) Normal behaviour and activities of children for their age and stage of development, for example playing in playgrounds, climbing trees, travelling by bus or train, ability to look after themselves, and whe

20、re relevant, level of supervision. c) National accident statistics indicate that serious accidents involving cords and drawstrings on childrens clothing fall into two main groups by age of child: d) Younger Children: Entrapment of hood cords in playground equipment such as slides, resulting in fatal

21、ities. e) Older Children and Young Persons: Entrapment of cords and strings from the waist and lower hems of garments in moving vehicles such as bus doors, ski lifts and bicycles resulting in severe injuries or death from being dragged along or run over by the vehicle. In addition elasticated hood o

22、r neck cords have resulted in a number of facial injuries. Childrens clothing sold in the EU is usually sold by height as the primary measurement, sometimes with age as an additional indicator. Clothing for babies (up to around 1 year of age) is generally sold by length of the baby although some cou

23、ntries use the babys weight. All chest, waist, and hip measurements are secondary measurements. EN 14682:2004 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies requirements for cords and drawstrings for childrens clothing, including disguise costumes and skiwear, up to the age of 14 years. Within the scope of t

24、his document it is not possible to cover all potential hazards that may create an unsafe garment. Conversely, identifiable specific hazards in certain styles/design of garment may not present a risk for certain age groups. NOTE It is recommended that an individual risk assessment be carried out on a

25、ny garment in order to ensure that it does not present a hazard to the wearer. This document does not apply to: a) child use and care articles such as, nappies and soother holders; b) shoes, boots and similar footwear; c) gloves, hats, scarves d) neckties designed to be worn with a shirt or blouse;

26、e) belts and braces; f) religious clothing that may be worn all the time, and celebratory clothing such as that worn at civil or religious ceremonies or regional or national festivals; g) specialist sportswear and activity wear generally worn for limited periods and under supervision, for example ru

27、gby shorts, wet suits, and dancewear, except where those garments are commonly worn as day wear or night wear; h) theatrical costumes used for theatrical performances. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 young child person aged fr
