1、Designation: F 2285 04Standard Consumer Safety Performance Specification forDiaper Changing Tables for Commercial Use1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2285; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the y

2、ear of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis safety performance specification addresses diaper changing tables for use in commercialenvironments.The C

3、PSC identified the following injuries to children associated with the use of diaper changingtables in the residential environment: falls, stability, restraint systems, latches and folding mecha-nisms, structural integrity, and deaths due to entrapment in openings. In response to the incidents datade

4、veloped by the CPSC, this safety performance specification attempts to minimize the previouslylisted problems. This specification does not cover tables that are blatantly misused, although warningsand safety instructions are required to be prominently displayed on or with each table.This consumer sa

5、fety performance specification is not intended to address incidents and injuriesresulting from the interaction of other persons with children on tables or incidents resulting fromunforeseeable abuse or misuse.This consumer safety performance specification is written within the current state of the a

6、rt of diaperchanging table technology. It is intended that this specification will be updated whenever substantiveinformation becomes available which necessitates additional requirements or justifies the revision ofexisting requirements.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification establishes safe

7、typerformance requirements, test methods, and labeling require-ments to minimize the hazards to children presented by diaperchanging tables as identified in the introduction.1.2 This specification is intended to apply to diaper chang-ing tables for commercial use. It is intended for use withchildren

8、 up to 50 lbs.1.3 No diaper changing table produced after the approvaldate of this consumer safety performance specification shall,either by label or other means, indicate compliance with thisspecification unless it conforms to all requirements herein.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to

9、 be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion, Section 7, of this consumer safety speci-fication: This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associa

10、ted 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.

Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 conspicuous, na label which is visible, when theunit is in a manufacturers recommended use position, to aperson standing near the unit at any one po

17、sition around theunit, but not necessarily visible from all positions.3.1.2 manufacturers recommended use position, nanyposition, which is presented as a normal, allowable, or accept-able configuration for use of the product by the manufacturer inany descriptive or instructional literature. This spe

18、cificallyexcludes positions that the manufacturer shows in a likemanner in its literature to be unacceptable, unsafe, or notrecommended.3.1.3 static load, na vertically downward load applied bya dead weight or other means.4. General Testing Requirements4.1 All testing shall be conducted on a concret

19、e floor thatmay be covered with18-in. (3-mm) thick vinyl floor covering,unless test instructs differently.4.2 The unit shall be completely assembled, unless other-wise noted, in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.4.3 No testing shall be conducted within 48 h of manufac-turing.4.4 The pro

20、duct to be tested shall be in a room with anambient temperature of 73 6 9F (23 6 5C) for at least 1 hprior to testing. Testing shall then be conducted within thistemperature range.4.5 All testing required by this specification shall be con-ducted on the same unit.5. General Requirements5.1 The unit

21、shall conform to the federal regulations speci-fied in section 2.2 of this specification both before and after alltesting.5.2 Before and after testing, any exposed parts shall besmooth and free of splinters.5.3 Latching MechanismsAny unit that folds, and will notremain in the open position without f

22、orce being applied to it,shall have a latching device or other provision in the designthat will prevent the unit from unintentional folding whenproperly placed in the manufacturers recommended use posi-tion. Products with latching devices for prevention of uninten-tional folding shall be tested in a

23、ccordance with 7.1. Duringand upon completion of this test, the unit shall remain latchedin its manufacturers recommended use position.5.4 OpeningsAny shaped holes, slots, or cracks that existin or around the table that is in its manufacturers recom-mended use position and that are accessible to the

25、 the depth is nogreater than the minimum dimension of the opening.5.5 Scissoring, Shearing, Pinching, CrushingThe table,when in the manufacturers recommended use position, andparts that are accessible to the toes or fingers of the occupantin the table, shall be designed and constructed to prevent in

26、juryfrom any scissoring, shearing, or pinching when members orcomponents rotate about a common axis or fastening point,slide, pivot, fold, or otherwise move relative to one another.Scissoring, shearing, or pinching exists when the edges of therigid parts admit a probe greater than 0.210-in. (5.33-mm

27、)diameter and less than 0.375-in. (9.53-mm) diameter at anyaccessible point throughout the range of motion of such parts.5.6 LabelingDecorative labels, warning labels, or warn-ings applied directly onto the surface of the product by hotstamping, heat transfer, printing, or wood burning, etc., shall

28、bepermanent when tested in accordance with 7.4.5.7 The forces that are to be applied to the sample in the testmethods of this specification are applied readily by means of acalibrated force gage, or in the case of static load and dynamicload test methods, by calibrated weights.6. Performance Require
