3、eats that wereidentified by the US CPSC including injuries as a result of falls and tip-overs from both elevated andfloor level surfaces. This specification does not cover infant floor seats that were either blatantlymisused or used in a careless manner with disregard to the warning statements and s

4、afety instructionsprovided with each product. This specification is written within the current state-of-the-art of infantfloor seat technology. It is intended that this specification will be updated whenever substantiveinformation becomes available that necessitates additional requirements or justif

5、ies the revision of theexisting requirements.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification covers the performance requirements and methods of test to ensure the satisfactoryperformance of infant floor seats.1.2 This consumer safety specification is intended to minimize injuries to children resultin

6、g from normal usage and reasonablyforeseeable misuse or abuse of infant floor seats. This consumer safety specification is not intended to address accidents andinjuries resulting from the interaction of older children with children in infant floor seats.1.3 For purposes of this consumer safety speci

7、fication, an infant floor seat is a seat which is placed on the floor that is intendedto contain a child who can hold his/her head up unassisted (approximately 4 months of age) until the child can either walk(approximately 12 months of age) or get in and out of the product by themselves. An infant f

8、loor seat may include a tray, toys,or a restraint system. This consumer safety specification does not include pillow-like infant positioners that are generallyconstructed from fabric and stuffing for the purposes of positioning or lounging and do not have an active or passive restraint.1.4 No infant

9、 floor seat produced after the approval date of this consumer safety specification shall, either by label or othermeans, indicate compliance with this specification unless it conforms to all requirements contained herein.1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The v

10、alues given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.1.6 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 7, of this specification: This standarddoes not purport to address all of

11、 the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of thisstandard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.1.7 This international standard was developed in acco
