A superscriptepsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis consumer safety specification addresses incidents associated with non-full-size cribs/play yardsthat were id
3、entified by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).Incidents identified by the CPSC and addressed in this standard include asphyxiation due toentrapment in mesh drop side units left with a side down, strangulation by entanglement on protrudinghardware, strangulation by button entrapment
4、in mesh openings, strangulation due to failure of thecenter hinge on a top rail, collapse or failure of the locking devices, collapse of the floor or sides, andchoking on vinyl bitten from the top rail. This specification also addresses wooden non-full-size cribinjuries or deaths due to entanglement
5、 on corner post extensions, dislodgment of slats resulting frombreakage or failure of glue joints, collapse of mattress support, detachment of screws, dislodgementof teething rails, and entanglement on cords or strings.This specification is not intended to cover non-full-size cribs/play yards that a

This specification is written within current state-of-the-art of non-full-sizecrib/play yard technology and is intended to be updated if substantive information becomes availablethat necessitates additional requirements or justifies revision of existing requirem
7、ents.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification establishes testing requirements for structural integrity and performance requirements fornon-full-size cribs/play yards, both rigid sided and mesh/fabric assemblies. It also provides requirements for labeling andinstructional material. The term un
8、it or product will refer to a non-full-size crib/play yard.1.2 This specification covers a framed enclosure with a floor made for the purpose of providing sleeping and playingaccommodations for a child who cannot climb out and is less than 35 in. (890 mm) in height. It also covers bassinet, changing
9、table, or similar accessories to a non-full size crib/play yard. These accessories shall also comply with the applicable requirementsof ASTM standards addressing those accessories. For example, a changing table that attaches to a play yard shall also comply withthe applicable requirements in Specifi
10、cation F2388. This specification does not cover inflatable products.1.3 No product produced after the approval date of this consumer safety specification shall, either by label or other means,indicate compliance with this specification unless it conforms to all applicable requirements contained here
11、in, before and after alltesting.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains on
12、ly to the test method portion, Section 8, of this specification: This standarddoes not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

35、 for Non-Full-Size Baby Cribs3. Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 accessory, ncomponent with a rigid frame such as a bassinet or changing table that attaches to a non-full size crib/playyard and that, because of its structure, location, or movement, may expose a non
36、-full size crib/play yard occupant to an openingpresenting an entrapment hazard. It does not include: (1) items that hang outside the occupant areas, such as organizers and storagebags, (2) canopies that have no rigid frame members running alongside any top rail, and (3) accessories that attach only
37、 to anotherattachment and not directly to the non-full size crib/play yard.3.1.1.1 DiscussionRationale: Definition applies only to accessories that attach to non-full size crib/play yard, not accessoriesthat attach to bassinet or changing table. This would exclude a changing table that attaches only
38、 to a bassinet, since a bassinetoccupant is not able to push up on hands and knees, and therefore is not at risk from an entrapment hazard.3.1.2 conspicuous, adjDescribes a label that is visible, when the unit is in a manufacturers recommended use position, to aperson standing near the unit at any o

41、e manufacturers recommended use position to provide easier access to the occupant.3.1.5.1 DiscussionRationale: The word “telescope” was deleted because telescoping sides are really covered under thedefinition of movable sides. Dropgates are products that pivot only. For reference, the definition of
42、movable side in ConsumerSafety Specification F406 is “top portion of an otherwise stationary side that is intended to move with respect to the frame (otherthan a foldable side) when the product is in the manufacturers recommended use position to provide easier access to the occupant.3.1.6 dynamic lo
