15、248 “Textiles and textile products”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.

16、e latest by June 2015. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 14682:2007. EN 14682:2014 includes

17、the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 14682:2007: a) Clause 1 Scope: New clause for bags and purses that are often sold as co-ordinating accessories for childrens clothing b) Clause 2 Terms and definitions: 1) Re-ordered to be more logical for user, with several new terms; 2

18、) 2.10 definition for belt added, to differentiate from tied belt; 3) 2.11 revised definition of tie belt or sash; 4) 2.12 braces (suspenders) new definition; 5) 2.19 open to its largest and laid flat, new definition; 6) 2.20 relaxed natural state, new definition; 7) 2.21 three dimensional embellish

19、ment, new definition; 8) 2.22 hood neck and upper chest, changed to head, neck and upper chest. The use of the term head ensures consistent terminology with parts of body specified and not parts of garment. c) Clause 3 Requirements: 1) 3.1.4 new NOTE to consider functional hanger loops. 3.2 and 3.3

20、term hood deleted and replaced by head. 2) Requirements now consider the different risks for front and back of garment, and specification corrected accordingly. 3) 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.2.3 decorative cords are now permitted for young children with restrictions which specifically consider strangulation ha

21、zards. This is consistent with permitting stitched embellishments, for example bows. BS EN 14682:2014EN 14682:2014 (E) 4 4) 3.2.5, 3.2.6 and 3.3.4, 3.3.5 deal with shoulder straps and halter neck styles. Ring and slider mechanisms are commonly used to permit adjustment of the strap in wear, to ensur

22、e close fit and functionality of the garment. The loops created by these straps will be variable, and may be greater than 7,5 cm. However as these are close fitting to the body, no loop should present an entrapment hazard. 3.4 has been revised. Examination of garments shows that those clothes that a

23、re worn from waist down can be defined as those that fit closely to the body to be functional. Strings at the waist on these garments when closed to the body will be low hazard, and some requirements have been relaxed. Other garments can be more flowing, for example unbuttoned coats. In these garmen

24、ts, requirements have been strengthened. d) 3.7 sleeves: The original text assumed strings protruded from lower hems only, and that sleeves were long or short. This did not reflect fashion. Clauses have been revised to consider strings other than at hems, and all lengths of sleeve e) Annex B: new pa

25、ragraph to clarify that anthropometric data listed is that used to define childrens sizes in EN 14682:2014, where the tallest children in Europe were considered. f) Annex C: enhanced to provide rationale for exclusions from scope, and rationale for requirements for lengths of drawstrings and cords.

26、Explanation that manufacturers need to be more aware of how product is likely to be used, and not what it is called as a garment type. g) Annex D, new improved methods for measurement of sash or tied belt, garment open to its largest and laid flat, garment in its relaxed natural state. h) Annex F, i

27、mproved figures provided to illustrate requirements. i) To assist the reader, throughout this European Standard, the terms defined in Clause 2 Terms and definitions are in italics.

BS EN 14682:2014EN 14682:2014 (E) 5 Introduction The European Commission Mand

30、ate No. M/309, related to the safety of consumers of drawstrings or cords on childrens clothing and issued on 9 March 2001, requested that CEN develops standards or specifications to consider cords and drawstrings on clothing intended for children up to age 14 years. The aim of this European Standar

31、d is to minimize the risk of accidental entrapment by cords or drawstrings on childrens clothing taking into account: a) the childs age; b) behaviour and activities of children for their age and stage of development, for example playing in playgrounds, climbing trees, travelling by bus or train, abi

32、lity to look after themselves, and where 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; 1) younger children: entrapment of hood cords in playground equipm

33、ent such as slides, resulting in fatalities; 2) 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 v

34、ehicle. In addition, elasticated hood or 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

35、by length of the baby although some countries use the babys weight. All chest, waist, and hip measurements are secondary measurements. BS EN 14682:2014EN 14682:2014 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for cords and drawstrings on childrens clothing, including disguise costume

36、s and ski apparel, up to the age of 14 years. Within the scope of this European Standard, 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 might not present a risk for certain age groups

37、. It is recommended that an individual risk assessment be carried out on any garment in order to ensure that it does not present a hazard to the wearer This European Standard does not apply to the following (see Annex C for rationale): a) child use and care articles, for example bibs, nappies and so

38、other holders; b) shoes, boots and similar footwear; c) gloves, hats, bonnets and scarves; d) neckties designed to be worn with a shirt or blouse; e) belts, with the exception of tied belts which are within scope; f) braces; g) religious clothing; h) celebratory clothing such as that worn at civil o

39、r religious ceremonies, national or regional festivals provided this is worn for limited periods and under supervision; i) specialist sportswear and activity wear generally worn for limited periods and under supervision, for example rugby shorts, wet suits, and dancewear, except where those garments

40、 are commonly worn as day wear or night wear; j) theatrical costumes used for theatrical performances; k) aprons intended to be worn over day wear, for limited periods and under supervision, to protect clothing from soiling during activities such as painting, cooking, or during meal times; l) bags a

41、nd purses. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 young child person aged from birth to up age 7 years (that is up to and including 6 years and 11 months) which includes all children up to and including a height of 134 cm Note 1 to e
