Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis consumer safety specification addresses crib incidents that were identified by the U.S.Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).CPSC receive
3、d reports of strangulations incidents associated with crib corner post extensions andincidents concerning failure of crib hardware and other structural components of cribs that alsoresulted in fatalities.In response to the incident data collected by the CPSC, this consumer safety specification attem
4、ptsto minimize the risk of injury or death due to: failure of mattress support hardware, failure of gluedor bolted connections, side latch failure, and dislodgment of teething rails. This safety specificationalso addresses incidents associated with poor maintenance or assembly by means of requiremen
5、ts forthe contents of instructional literature that must accompany a crib.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification establishes perfor-mance requirements and test procedures to determine thestructural integrity of full-size cribs. It also contains designrequirements addressing entanglement on c
6、rib corner postextensions, and requirements for warning labels and instruc-tional material. It also covers bassinet, changing table, orsimilar accessories to a crib that when in the manufacturersrecommended use position are in the occupant retention area.These accessories shall also comply with the
7、applicable re-quirements of the ASTM International standards addressingthose accessories. For example, a changing table that attachesto a crib shall also comply with the applicable requirements inConsumer Safety Specification F2388. This specification doesnot cover inflatable products.1.2 No crib pr
8、oduced after the approval date of this con-sumer safety specification shall, either by label or other means,indicate compliance with this specification unless it conformsto all requirements contained herein.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in
9、parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest methods portion, Section 7, of this specification: Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety con
10、cerns,if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.2.
