1、Designation: F1821 15Standard Consumer Safety Specification forToddler Beds1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1821; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parenthes
2、es indicates the year of last reapproval. 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 response to inc
3、ident 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 also addres
4、ses 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 updated whenev
5、er substantive information becomes available thatnecessitates additional requirements or justifies a revision to existing requirements.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification covers requirementsfor the design and performance of toddler beds. It also containsrequirements for labeling and instr
6、uctional material.1.2 This consumer safety specification is intended to mini-mize incidents to children resulting from normal use andreasonably foreseeable misuse of toddler beds. It does notaddress incidents resulting from alteration or unreasonablemisuse.1.3 For the purposes of this consumer safet
7、y specification, atoddler bed is a bed that is sized to accept a full-size cribmattress and is intended for use by a child not less than 15months of age and who weighs no more than 50 lb (27.7 kg).1.4 No toddler bed produced after the approval date of thisconsumer safety specification shall indicate
8、 compliance withthis specification, either by label or by other means, unless itconforms to all the requirements contained herein.1.5 This consumer safety specification includes the follow-ing sections:Scope Section 1Referenced Documents Section 2Terminology Section 3Calibration and Standardization
