1、Designation: F 2088 03Standard Consumer Safety Specification forInfant Swings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2088; 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 parent
2、heses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis consumer safety specification addresses infant swing incidents identified by the U.S. ConsumerProduct Safety Commission (CPSC).In response to inc
3、ident data compiled by the CPSC, this consumer safety specification attempts tominimize the following: (1) swings tipping over or collapsing, (2) structural failures, and (3)entanglement in the restraints or entrapment in leg holes. This consumer safety specification isintended to cover normal use a
4、nd reasonably foreseeable misuse or abuse of infant swings. Thisspecification does not cover swings that are blatantly misused or used in a careless manner thatdisregards the safety instructions and warnings provided with each infant swing.This consumer safety specification is written within the cur
5、rent state-of-the-art of infant swingtechnology and will be updated whenever substantive information becomes available that necessitatesadditional requirements or justifies the revision of existing requirements.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification establishes safetyperformance requirements
6、, test methods, and labeling require-ments to minimize the hazards to infants presented by swingsas identified in the introduction.1.2 This consumer safety specification is intended to mini-mize the risk of injuries to infants resulting from normal useand reasonably foreseeable misuse or abuse of in
7、fant swings. Itis not intended to address all incidents and injuries resultingfrom the interaction of other persons with the infant in theswing.1.3 No swing produced after the approval date of thisconsumer safety specification shall, either by label or othermeans, indicate compliance with this speci
8、fication unless itconforms to all requirements contained herein.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The SI values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion, Section 7, of this c
9、onsumer safety speci-fication: This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

General Requirements5.1 Hazardous Sharp Edges or PointsThere sh
24、all be nohazardous sharp points or edges as defined by 16 CFR 1500.48and 16 CFR 1500.49 before and after testing to the consumersafety specification.5.2 Small PartsThere shall be no small parts as defined by16 CFR 1501 before testing or liberated as a result of thistesting to this specification.5.3

38、 the seated positions in any of themanufacturers recommended use positions.6.4.1 The restraint system shall include either a fixedpassive crotch restraint and a waist belt, or a waist and crotchbelt where the crotch belts use is mandatory when the waistbelt is in use.6.4.2 If the swing seat has a tr
39、ay, a passive crotch restraintsystem shall be designed such that its use is mandatory whenthe tray is in use. If the tray is moveable, the restraint systemmust have a waist and crotch belt where the crotch belts useis mandatory when the waist belt is in use.6.4.3 This system and its closing means sh
40、all not slip morethan 1 in. (25 mm), break, separate, or permit the removal ofthe test dummy when tested per 7.5.6.5 Cradle Swing OrientationThe angle of the cradleswing surface along the dummys head-to-toe axis relative tothe horizontal shall not be greater than 5 degrees when testedin accordance t
41、o 7.6.6.6 Battery Operated Swings6.6.1 The battery compartment or area immediately adja-cent to the battery compartment shall be marked permanentlyand legibly to show the correct battery polarity, size andvoltage.6.6.2 Battery operated swings shall provide a means tocontain the electrolytic material
42、 in the event of a batteryleakage. This containment means shall not be accessible to theoccupant.6.6.3 Positive protection from the possibility of chargingany primary (non-rechargeable) battery shall be achieved eitherthrough physical design of the battery compartment or throughthe use of appropriat
43、e electrical circuit design. This applies tosituations in which a battery may be installed incorrectly(reversed), and in which a battery charger may be applied to aproduct containing primary batteries. This section does notapply to a circuit having one or two batteries as the only sourceof power.7.
44、Test Methods7.1 Removal of Protective Components Test7.1.1 Any protective component shall be tested in accor-dance with each of the following methods in the sequencelisted.7.1.2 Securely locate the swing so that is cannot moveduring the performance of the following tests:7.1.3 Torque TestA torque sh
45、all be applied to any grasp-able component (see 5.8) within a period of5sinaclockwisedirection until either the component rotates 180 from theoriginal position or the torque attains 2 lbf-in. (0.2 Nm). Thetorque or maximum rotation shall be maintained for anadditional 10 s. The torque shall then be
46、removed and the testcomponents permitted to return to a relaxed condition. Thisprocedure shall then be repeated in the counter-clockwisedirection.7.1.4 Tension Test7.1.4.1 Attach a force gage to the component cap, sleeve, orplug by means of any suitable device. For protective compo-nents that cannot
47、 be reasonably expected to be graspedbetween thumb and forefinger, or teeth on their outer diameterbut have a gap of 0.040 in. (1.0 mm) or more behind the rearsurface of the component and the structural member of theswing to which they are attached, a clamp such as the oneshown in Fig. 4 may be a su
48、itable device.7.1.4.2 Be sure that the attachment device does not com-press or expand the component hindering any possible re-moval.7.1.4.3 Gradually apply a force of 15 lbf. (67 N) in thedirection that would normally be associated with the removalof the protective component overa5speriod and hold f
49、or anadditional 10 s.7.2 Static Load TestErect the unit in accordance with themanufacturers instructions. By any necessary means, place aweight of 75 lb. (34.1 kg) in the center of the seat distributedby a 6 in. by 6 in. (150 mm by 150 mm) wood block34 in. (19mm) thick. Gradually apply the weight within 5 s and maintainfor 60 s.7.3 Stability Test7.3.1 Place the CAMI dummy Mark II in the swing seat.FIG. 4 Tension Test Adapter/ClampF20880347.3.2 Position the product on a smooth 20 degree inclinedsurface as shown in Fig. 5 (swing direction).
