According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound

15、to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Swit

16、zerland and United Kingdom. EN 14682:2007 (E) 4 Introduction The European Commission Mandate No. 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 intende

17、d for children up to age 14 years. The aim of this European Standard is to minimise the risk of accidental entrapment 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 examp

18、le playing in playgrounds, climbing trees, travelling by bus or train, ability 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

19、 child; 1) younger children: entrapment of hood cords in playground equipment 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

20、 in severe injuries or death from being dragged along or run over by the vehicle. 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 indic

21、ator. Clothing for babies (up to around 1 year of age) is generally sold by length of the baby although some countries use the babys weight. All chest, waist, and hip measurements are secondary measurements. EN 14682:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for cords and draw

22、strings on childrens clothing, including disguise costumes and skiwear, 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 gar

23、ment might not present a risk for certain age groups. NOTE It is recommended that an individual risk assessment is 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: a) child use and care articles for example bibs,

24、 nappies and soother 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 and braces; f) religious clothing that may be worn all the time, and celebratory clothing such as that worn at civil or religious

25、 ceremonies or regional or national festivals; g) 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 are commonly worn as day wear or night wear; h) theatrical costumes used

26、 for theatrical performances; i) 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. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and
