38、mance Requirements NOTE 1The forces that are to be applied to the sample in the tests described in Section 7 of this specication are readily applied by means of a calibrated force gage. 6.1 Carry Handle Auto-lockingThis requirement applies only to products having a rigid, adjustable carry handle tha
39、t rotates about a singular axis and locks in the manufacturers designated carry position. The carry handle shall comply with 6.1.1, 6.1.2, or 6.1.3 when tested in accordance with 7.1. 6.1.1 The carry handle shall move unaided and lock into the manufacturers designated carry position or move unaided

The unaided movement shall occur within 5s of the carry handle being placed into an unlocked position in 7.1.2 and 7.1.4, before attempting to lift the carrier in 7.1.3. The
41、manufacturers designated carry position shall be clearly depicted in the instructional literature.A position obvious to the caregiver that is not the manufacturers designated carry position is dened as any position that is not suitable for carrying the occupant. For example, the carry handle comes t
42、o rest at the position adjacent to the top of the occupants head. 6.1.2 The carry handle shall lock in the manufacturers designated carry position when tested in accordance with 7.1.2 7.1.4. 6.1.3 The carry handle shall lock or be prevented from further movement by means of a mechanical stop in a po

FIG. 3Opening Example F205013a 46.2 Carrying Handle IntegrityAll tests of 7.2 are to be performed on the same product
44、, sequentially and without refurbishing or repositioning of adjustment. The carrier handle shall not break or unlatch on either one or both sides of the carrier when tested in accordance to 7.2.2 and 7.2.3.This requirement applies only to products having a rigid carry handle that rotates in head-to-
45、foot and foot-to-head directions, and is capable of being adjusted from the manufacturers recommended carry position to any additional adjustment position. 6.3 Restraint SystemArestraintsystemshallbeprovidedtosecureachildintheseatedpositionsinanyofthemanufacturers recommended use positions except as

49、inets/cradles as dened in 3.1.2 have been added to this standard because bassinet/cradle products that do not have legs and sit directly on the oor are excluded from theASTM bassinet/cradle standard. The restraint system requirements were added to extend the nonallowance of restraints from the bassinet/cradle standard to hand-held bassinet/cradles, while at the same time allowing restraints for hand-held bassinet/cradle products that also have adjustment positions to hand-held infant carrier
