1、Designation: F2050 16Standard Consumer Safety Specification forHand-Held Infant Carriers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2050; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number

2、 in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis consumer safety specification is intended to mitigate potential safety hazards associated witha childs use of a hand-held infant carrier

3、 and thereby minimize the risk of injury or death. The specifichazards addressed by this standard are carrier handle strength to support the occupant, product tip over,and falls from elevated surfaces.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification establishes perfor-mance requirements, test methods,

4、 and marking requirementsto promote safe use of a hand-held infant carrier by anoccupant and caregiver.1.2 This consumer safety specification is intended to mini-mize the risk of incidents to an occupant resulting from normaluse and reasonably foreseeable misuse or abuse of a hand-heldinfant carrier

5、.1.3 No hand-held infant carrier produced after the approvaldate of this consumer safety specification, either by label orother means, shall indicate compliance with this specification,unless it conforms to all requirements contained herein.1.4 This consumer safety specification is not intended toad

6、dress accidents and injuries resulting from the interaction ofother persons with the child occupant in a hand-held infantcarrier or the accidents resulting from abuse and misuse bychildren able to walk.1.5 This consumer safety specification is not intended toaddress incidents or injuries resulting f

7、rom use of the productin a motor vehicle, nor is it intended to address any issues thatmay arise from the manufacturer meeting the certificationrequirements of 49 CFR 571.213 or other applicable add-onchild restraint standards.1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.

8、The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.7 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion, Section 7, of this consumer safety speci-fication: This standard does not purp

9、ort to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

40、r in 7.1.3. The manufacturersdesignated carry position shall be clearly depicted in theinstructional literature. A position obvious to the caregiver thatis not the manufacturers designated carry position is defined asany position that is not suitable for carrying the occupant. Forexample, the carry

43、furbishing or repositioning of adjustment. The carrier handleshall not break or unlatch on either one or both sides of thecarrier when tested in accordance to 7.2.2 and 7.2.3. Thisrequirement applies only to products having a rigid carryhandle that rotates in head-to-foot and foot-to-head directions

44、,and is capable of being adjusted from the manufacturersrecommended carry position to any additional adjustmentposition.6.3 Restraint SystemA restraint system shall be providedto secure a child in the seated positions in any of themanufacturers recommended use positions except as outlinedin 6.3.3.6.

45、3.1 For infant carriers that are not for use in motorvehicles, the restraint system shall include a waist restraint andcrotch restraint. The crotch restraints use shall be mandatorywhen the waist restraint is in use.6.3.2 The system and its closing means shall not slip morethan 1 in. (25 mm), break,

46、 separate, or permit the removal ofthe test dummy when tested in accordance with 7.6.6.3.3 Hand held bassinets/cradles that are not for use inmotor vehicles shall meet either 6.3.3.1 or 6.3.3.2.6.3.3.1 Hand-held bassinets/cradles shall not contain a re-straint system.6.3.3.2 Hand-held infant carrier

47、 seats that can be convertedto a hand-held bassinet/cradle shall not be capable of beingconverted to a hand-held bassinet/cradle without the harnessfirst being made inaccessible to the occupant when in thebassinet/cradle mode.6.3.3.3 Rationale for 6.3.3Hand-held bassinets/cradles asdefined in 3.1.2

48、have been added to this standard becausebassinet/cradle products that do not have legs and sit directlyon the floor are excluded from the ASTM bassinet/cradlestandard. The restraint system requirements were added toextend the nonallowance of restraints from the bassinet/cradlestandard to hand-held b

49、assinet/cradles, while at the same timeallowing restraints for hand-held bassinet/cradle products thatalso have adjustment positions to hand-held infant carrier seatsas defined in 3.1.4 that have a semi-reclined seating position.The subcommittee determined that the risk associated withstrangulation in products configured for use in a bassinet mode(where the occupant is horizontal) far exceeded the potentialfor children falling out of the product during transportation.6.4 Slip ResistanceAn infant carrier shall not slip morethan 0.
