2、n. A number 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 address certain incidents associated with the useof infant bath tubs. The U.S. C
3、onsumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) identified drowningincidents which generally involved infant bath tubs being used in adult tubs containing water and leftunattended by their caregiver. The CPSC also identified non-fatal incidents related to collapsing ofinfant bath tubs.This specification do
4、es not address incidents in which infant bath tubs are unreasonably misused,are used in a careless manner that disregards the warnings and instructions that are provided with eachproduct, or those instances where the caregiver leaves the infant unattended in the product.This consumer safety specific
5、ation is written within the current state-of-the-art product technology.It is intended that this specification will be updated whenever substantive information becomesavailable and known to ASTM which necessitates additional requirements or justifies the revision ofexisting requirements.1. Scope1.1
6、This consumer safety specification establishes performance requirements, test methods, and labeling requirements topromote the safe use of infant bath tubs. Specifically excluded from the scope of this standard are products commonly known asbath slings, typically made of fabric or mesh.1.2 This cons
7、umer safety specification is intended to reduce the risk of death and minimize injury to infants resulting from useand reasonably foreseeable abuse of infant bath tubs.1.3 No infant bath tub produced after the approval date of this consumer safety specification shall, either by label or othermeans,
8、indicate compliance with this specification unless it conforms to all requirements contained herein.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not con
