3、 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 safety instructionsprovided with each product. This specificatio

4、n 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 justifies the revision of theexisting requirements.1. Scope1.1 This c

5、onsumer safety specification covers the perfor-mance requirements and methods of test to ensure the satis-factory performance of infant floor seats.1.2 This consumer safety specification is intended to mini-mize injuries to children resulting from normal usage andreasonably foreseeable misuse or abu

6、se of infant floor seats.This consumer safety specification is not intended to addressaccidents and injuries resulting from the interaction of olderchildren with children in infant floor seats.1.3 For purposes of this consumer safety specification, aninfant floor seat is a seat which is placed on th
