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
3、 received 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 specificati
4、on attemptsto 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 re
5、quirements forthe contents of instructional literature that must accompany a crib.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification establishes performance requirements and test procedures to determine the structuralintegrity of full-size cribs. It also contains design requirements addressing entanglem
6、ent on crib corner post extensions, andrequirements for warning labels and instructional material. It also covers bassinet, changing table, or similar accessories to a cribthat when in the manufacturers recommended use position are in the occupant retention area. These accessories shall also complyw
7、ith the applicable requirements of theASTM International standards addressing those accessories. For example, a changing tablethat attaches to a crib shall also comply with the applicable requirements in Consumer Safety Specification F2388. Thisspecification does not cover inflatable products.1.2 No
