Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis consumer safety specification is intended to mitigate potential safety hazards associated witha childs use of a hand
3、-held infant carrier and thereby minimize the risk of injury or death. The specifichazards addressed by this standard are carrier handle strength to support the occupant, product tip over,and falls from elevated surfaces.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification establishes performance requirem
4、ents, test methods, and marking requirements topromote safe use of a hand-held infant carrier by an occupant and caregiver.1.2 This consumer safety specification is intended to minimize the risk of incidents to an occupant resulting from normal useand reasonably foreseeable misuse or abuse of a hand
5、-held infant carrier.1.3 No hand-held infant carrier produced after the approval date of this consumer safety specification, either by label or othermeans, shall indicate compliance with this specification, unless it conforms to all requirements contained herein.1.4 This consumer safety specificatio
6、n is not intended to address accidents and injuries resulting from the interaction of otherpersons with the child occupant in a hand-held infant carrier or the accidents resulting from abuse and misuse by children able towalk.1.5 This consumer safety specification is not intended to address incident
7、s or injuries resulting from use of the product in amotor vehicle, nor is it intended to address any issues that may arise from the manufacturer meeting the certification requirementsof FMVSS-213 or other applicable add-on child restraint standards.1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be
8、 regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.1.7 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 7, of this consumer safety specification:This
