Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee
10、. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. The procedures used to develop this document and th
11、ose intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

This second editio
15、n cancels and replaces the first.edition (ISO 8124-4:2010) and amendment 1 (ISO 8124-4:2010 / Amd.1:2012). This edition incorporates the amendments ISO 8124-4:2010 / Amd.1:2012 and ISO 8124-4:2010/Amd.2:2014. ISO 8124 consists of the following parts, under the general title Safety of toys: Part 1: S

17、 guidelines The following parts are under preparation: Part 5: Determination of total concentration of certain elements in toys Part 7: Requirements and test methods for finger paintsiv ISO 2014 All rights reserved ISO 8124-4:2014(E) Introduction This part of ISO 8124 is largely based upon existing
18、standards in the European Union (EN 71-8) and in the United States (ASTM F1148). However, it should not be construed that a toy manufactured in compliance with this part of ISO 8124 will be in full compliance with relevant national toy safety requirements in the market where the product is intended
19、to be distributed. The user of this part of ISO 8124 is therefore advised to be aware of relevant national requirements. Compliance with the requirements of this part of ISO 8124 will minimize potential hazards associated with toys resulting from their use in their intended play modes (normal use) a
20、s well as unintended play modes (reasonable foreseeable abuse). This part of ISO 8124 will not, nor is it intended to, eliminate parental responsibility in the appropriate selection of toys. In addition, this part of ISO 8124 will not eliminate the need for parental supervision in situations where c
21、hildren of various ages may have access to the same toy(s). ISO 2014 All rights reserved v Safety of toys Part 4: Swings, slides and similar activity toys for indoor and outdoor family domestic use 1 Scope This part of ISO 8124 specifies requirements and test methods for activity toys for domestic f
22、amily use intended for children under 14 years to play on or in. Products covered by this part of ISO 8124 include swings, slides, seesaws, carousels, rocking toys, climbing frames, fully enclosed toddler swing seats and other products intended to bear the mass of one or more children. Products not
23、included within the scope of this part of ISO 8124 are: a) fitness and sporting equipment unless attached to the activity toy; b) equipment intended for use in schools, day care centres, kindergartens, public playgrounds, restaurants, shopping centres and similar public places; c) juvenile care prod
24、ucts such as, but not limited to, infant swings, playpens/enclosures, beds or f urnit ure including picnic tables, cradle rockers and products specifically designed for therapeutic use. Inflatable activity toys are included in the scope of this part of ISO 8124. However, a powered blower used to con
25、tinuously inflate the toy is not covered by this part of ISO 8124 since it is considered to be a household appliance and covered by requirements given in IEC 60335-2-80. See A.1. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
26、indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

Requirements for swings are given in 4.7 (swings). 4.1.2 Maximum height See A.4.1.2. There shall be no part
47、of the activity toy designed to encourage the child to climb, sit on or stand on, with a height of 2 500 mm or more when measured from the ground. This does not include barriers, roofs, etc., that are not intended to be climbed, sat on or stood on. Barriers, roofs, etc., that are not intended to be

If protrusions cannot be placed within the 50 mm outside diameter test gauge defined in 6.7.1 (all protrusions), they are considered to be inaccessible and are exempted from these requirements (see Figure 6). Rope protrusions are specifically exempted
