1、Designation: F2006 10Standard Safety Specification forWindow Fall Prevention Devices for Non-Emergency Escape(Egress) and Rescue (Ingress) Windows1,2This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2006; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,

2、in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe consumer safety specification addresses window fall prevention devices that p

4、ly in use.Window fall prevention devices currently available include window opening control devices, windowfall prevention screens, and some types of window guards. These devices use different strategies toprevent children from falling through open windows. Window opening control devices restrict th

5、e sizeof the open area of the window so that it is too small for a young child to fall through. They do thisby allowing the window opening to be set at a predetermined position. Window fall prevention screensand fall prevention window guards provide a barrier to prevent a child from falling through

6、an openwindow. This specification does not apply to devices applied to windows installed in one and twofamily dwellings.A special study3by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission indicates that young childrenare at high risk of death and serious injury from window falls. Children age five and yo

7、unger accountfor a higher percentage of window fall fatalities and injuries.4Window fall prevention devices usually differ in purpose and application from security/burglar bars.The general purpose of a window fall prevention device is to prevent a child age five or younger fromfalling through an ope

8、n window. The general purpose of a security bar is to prevent unlawful entrythrough a window. Generally window fall prevention devices and security bars are two separatedevices. However, a security bar could be used as a fall prevention device if it meets the requirementsof this specification.The CP

9、SC has advised caregivers to open windows less than 4 in. when children are present as onemeans to prevent child falls through open windows. Window opening control devices provide a meansthat the window, when opened in an initial operation, will satisfy the CPSC recommendation to openless than 4 in.

10、5The 4-in. dimension is drawn from related building codes and standards for openingsin guardrail assemblies,6and is universally accepted as the appropriate dimension to prevent a childfrom passing through balcony or guard railing systems.An additional operation is required to open thewindow further.

11、 The additional operation must be performed without the use of keys, tools or specialknowledge. Security from forced entry is not within the scope of this standard and is not the intendedfunction of any of the devices referred to herein.1.

48、INDOW OPENING CONTROL DEVICESREASONING STATEMENT: It is up to each individualopening control device manufacturer to determine whether tomanufacture a child fall prevention opening control devicewhich meets both Specification F2090 and Specification F2006requirements. This may differ on a manufacture

49、r by manufac-turer basis. The operation and performance requirements forwindow fall prevention Window Opening Control Devices forthis standard for application and use in installations above 75ft above ground locations are identical to those found inSpecification F2090 for fall prevention window opening con-trol devices with emergency escape (egress) release mecha-nisms. This does not preclude any given window openingcontrol device manufacturer from offering a child fall preven-tion window opening control device that would be non-releasable or which would be desi
