1、Designation: F 2264 03Standard Consumer Safety Specification forNon-Powered Scooters1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2264; 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 (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis consumer safety performance specification addresses scooter incidents that were identified bythe Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)

3、. With the recent introduction and popularity ofnew lightweight scooters, related injuries to children less than 15 years old have dramaticallyincreased. The purpose of this consumer safety specification is to establish nationally recognizedsafety requirements for nonpowered scooters.1. Scope1.1 Thi

4、s consumer safety specification covers establishmentof performance requirements, test methods, and labeling re-quirements to minimize the hazards to users of scooters asidentified in the introduction.1.2 This specification is intended to cover use of thisproduct for children ages 5 years and older.1

5、.3 No scooter produced after the approval date of thisspecification shall, either by label or other means, indicatecompliance with this specification unless it conforms to allrequirements herein.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. SI values, if given in paren

6、theses, are forinformation only.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 of the user

7、 of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

16、 other means.4. General Testing Requirements4.1 The unit shall be completely assembled, unless other-wise noted, in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.4.2 The product to be tested shall be in a room with anambient temperature of 73 6 9F (23 6 5C) for at least 1 hprior to testing. Testing

17、 shall then be conducted within thistemperature range unless a test specifically requires anothertemperature.4.3 All testing required by this specification shall be con-ducted on the same unit unless otherwise specified (see 7.1).5. General Requirements5.1 The unit shall conform to the federal regul

18、ations speci-fied in 2.2 of this specification both before and after all testing.5.2 Prior to testing, any exposed parts shall be smooth andfree of splinters, spurs, and burrs.5.3 Latching MechanismsAny unit that folds shall have alatching device or other provision in the design that willprevent the

19、 unit from unintentional folding when properlyplaced in the manufacturers recommended use position. Prod-ucts with latching devices for prevention of unintentionalfolding shall be tested in accordance with 7.9. During and uponcompletion of this test, the unit shall remain latched in itsmanufacturers

20、 recommended use position.5.4 Folding Mechanisms, Hinges, and ClearancesThisrequirement is intended to eliminate possible crushing, lacera-tion, or pinching hazards that might occur in folding mecha-nisms and hinges. Examples are the motion of a hinge thatproduces a scissor action and the changing c

21、learances at thehinge line between two hinged portions, such that the gap willadmit fingers at one position of the hinge but not at allpositions. This requirement is also intended to eliminatepossible hazards that may be caused by changing clearances.The different pinch clearance requirements listed

22、 reflect thedifferent modes of entrapment or pinching that may be encoun-tered. Scooters shall meet these requirements after they aretested in accordance with Section 7.5.4.1 Hinge-Line ClearanceScooters having a gap orclearance along the hinge line between a stationary portion anda moveable portion

23、 that weighs more than12 lb (0.2 kg) shallbe so constructed that, if the accessible gap at the hinge linewill admit a316-in. (5-mm) diameter rod, it will also admit a12-in. (13-mm)diameter rod at all positions of the hinge.5.4.2 Accessible Clearances for Moveable SegmentsThisrequirement concerns cle

24、arances between movable segmentson scooters intended for children, where the potential forpinching or crushing fingers or other appendages exists. Itincludes, but is not limited to, wheels and rigid-wheel wells,fenders, or the radial clearance between the wheels and chassisof scooters. If such acces

25、sible clearances admit a316-in.(5-mm) diameter rod, they shall also admit a12-in. (13-mm)diameter rod in order to prevent the trapping of fingers.5.4.3 Inaccessibility of MechanismsMechanisms in scoot-ers shall not have any accessible part of the mechanism presenta pinch or laceration hazard.5.5 Lab
