20、ument (EN 1400:2013+A1:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 252 “Child use and care articles”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the lat

21、est by October 2014, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2014. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all

22、such patent rights. This document includes Amendment 1 approved by CEN on 25 February 2014. This document supersedes !EN 1400:2013“. The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags !“. This document has been prepared under a mandate (M/264) given to C

23、EN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. This standard is linked to the General Product Safety Directive (GPSD) but no Annex ZA is needed because GPSD is not a New Approach Directive and does not include Essential Requirements to which such an annex should refer. The mo

24、st significant change from EN 1400:2002 is that the three parts of that standard have been combined into one single document. In addition, improvements to several of the testing equipment have been made, including the shield template and probes for ventilation holes and finger traps. A number of com

25、mon migration rules have been adopted as has the concept of allocating only a proportion of TDIs when setting migration limits. For the first time, requirements have been set for teat protectors as has supply chain information for products that contain vulcanised rubber. According to the CEN-CENELEC

26、 Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Icela

28、y non-nutritive sucking needs and to pacify children. They are designed to be in the mouths of babies and young children for long periods. Accidents, some of which have been fatal, have occurred in the past and a prime purpose of this standard is to reduce the risk of accidents occurring in the futu

29、re. It is stressed that this European Standard cannot eliminate all possible risks to babies and young children using such a product and that parental or guardian control is of paramount importance. It is essential that all warnings and instructions specified in this standard are given clearly by th

30、e manufacturer, to allow the consumer to ensure that the soother is used correctly and safely. This European Standard harmonises minimum safety requirements and test methods for soothers. Most of the provisions have been taken from other existing national and European Standards. It is recommended th

31、at manufacturers and suppliers operate to EN ISO 9001, the standard for quality management systems 1. It is also recommended that laboratories operate to ISO/IEC 17025, General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories 4. In addition, it is recognised that some organisa

32、tions require reference testing. A suggested sampling plan and compliance levels for freshly manufactured soothers are provided in Annex E (informative). This procedure can be used as a voluntary type approval procedure. Latex protein allergy risk has not been included in this standard. Nevertheless

33、, provision for packaging information for soothers containing natural rubber has been made in this standard. There is no published information that sensitisation is caused by soother teats. In addition, there is an extremely low incidence of latex protein allergy among young children and babies. How

34、ever, the issue of subsequent allergic reaction from rubber teats will be reconsidered when further information becomes available. Phthalates have not been included in this standard because the use of phthalates in childcare articles is restricted by Annex XVII of REACH Regulation 5. A normative ann

35、ex has been included which contains translations of warning phrases into the main European languages.

EN 1400:2013+A1:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies safety requirements relating to the materials, construction, performance, packaging and product information for soothers. This European Standard is applicable to products that resemble or function as a soother. So

44、me soothers may be marketed with other functions. This standard is applicable to these products (some examples are given in Annex C). This European Standard does not apply to products designed for specialist clinical medical applications, e.g. those relating to Pierre-Robin Syndrome or premature bab

45、ies (see Annex C). The standard is not applicable to feeding teats. Safety requirements and test methods for feeding teats are included in all parts of EN 14350 2, 3. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensabl
