Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis consumer safety specification addresses toddler bed incidents that were identified by theConsumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).In respon
3、se to incident data supplied by the commission, this consumer safety specification attemptsto minimize: entrapment in bed end structures, entrapment between the guardrail and side rail, andentrapment in the mattress support system. Entrapment of a childs head or neck can result inasphyxiation. It al
4、so addresses corner post extensions, which may catch pacifier cords, ribbons,necklaces, or clothing that a child may be wearing and which may be caught on a projection.This consumer safety specification is written in accordance with the current available state-of-the-art technology and will be updat
5、ed whenever substantive information becomes available thatnecessitates additional requirements or justifies a revision to existing requirements.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification covers requirements for the design and performance of toddler beds. It also containsrequirements for labeling
6、 and instructional material.1.2 This consumer safety specification is intended to minimize incidents to children resulting from normal use and reasonablyforeseeable misuse of toddler beds. It does not address incidents resulting from alteration or unreasonable misuse.1.3 For the purposes of this con
7、sumer safety specification, a toddler bed is a bed that is sized to accept a full-size crib mattressand is intended for use by a child not less than 15 months of age and who weighs no more than 50 lb (27.7 kg).1.4 No toddler bed produced after the approval date of this consumer safety specification
8、shall indicate compliance with thisspecification, either by label or by other means, unless it conforms to all the requirements contained herein.1.5 This consumer safety specification includes the following sections:Scope Section 1Referenced Documents Section 2Terminology Section 3Calibration and St
