Test Methods NOTE 3Except for the Structural Integrity tests in 7.1, which shall be performed rst, the tests can be performed in
46、 any sequence. 7.1 Structural Integrity: 7.1.1 Dynamic Load: 7.1.1.1 Position the stationary activity center in the manufacturers recommended use position. If adjustable, adjust to the highest and most upright position. 7.1.1.2 Affix to the stationary activity center seat a 6-by-6 in. (150-by-150 mm
47、) wood block 3 4 in. (19 mm) thick. If the unit has a hammock type seat, use a standard 6 in. (150 mm) weld cap, convex surface down, as identied in Fig. 4, attached to the bottom of the test weight. 7.1.1.3 Drop a test weight of 33 lb (15 kg), with the mass of the weld cap shown in Fig. 4 included,
48、 onto the seat at least a distance of 1 in. (25 mm) one hundred times. 7.1.1.4 When testing a spring supported adjustable stationary activity center, test with the product in the highest adjustment position and support the frame so that the dropping of the 33 lb (15 kg) weight does not cause the sea
49、t to bottom out. 7.1.2 Static Load: 7.1.2.1 Position the stationary activity center as in 7.1.1.1. NOTE 1Dimensions are based on a 5th percentile 6-month-old child. Gauge may be modied to facilitate testing to allow for pulling of the gauge.
