1、Designation: F406 12aF406 13Standard Consumer Safety Specification forNon-Full-Size Baby Cribs/Play Yards1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F406; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last re
2、vision.Anumber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscriptepsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis consumer safety specification addresses incidents associated with non-full-size cribs/playyards that were identified by the
3、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 in mesh openings
4、, 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 on corner post
5、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 are either blatan
6、tlymisused or abused. 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 requirements.1. Scope1.1
7、 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 unit or product wi
8、ll 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, changingtable, or simila
9、r accessories to a non-full size crib/play yard. These accessories shall also comply with the applicable requirementsofASTM standards addressing those accessories. For example, a changing table that attaches to a play yard shall also comply withthe applicable requirements in Specification F2388. Thi
10、s 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 herein, before and af
11、ter 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 only to the test me

43、 yard.3.1.1.1 DiscussionRationale: Definition applies only to accessories that attach to non-full size crib/play yard, not accessories that attach to bassinetor changing table. This would exclude a changing table that attaches only to a bassinet, since a bassinet occupant is not able topush up on ha
44、nds and knees, and therefore is not at risk from an entrapment hazard.3.1.2 accessory attachment components, nthe components that provide the means of attachment for a bassinet/cradleaccessory to a play yard.

47、located at the corner of a product.3.1.7 dropgate, nside that is intended to pivot with respect to the frame when the product is in the manufacturersrecommended use position to provide easier access to the occupant.3.1.7.1 DiscussionRationale: The word “telescope” was deleted because telescoping sid
48、es are really covered under the definition of movable sides.Dropgates are products that pivot only. For reference, the definition of movable side in Consumer Safety Specification F406 is “topportion of an otherwise stationary side that is intended to move with respect to the frame (other than a fold
49、able side) when theproduct is in the manufacturers recommended use position to provide easier access to the occupant.3.1.8 dynamic load, napplication of an impulsive force through free fall of a weight.3.1.9 fabric, nany woven, knit, coated, laminated, extruded or calendered flexible material that is intended to be sewn, welded,heat sealed, or glued together as an assembly.3.1.10 foldable side or end, nside or end panel intended to be stationary with respect to the frame when a product is in themanufacturers recommended use position, but that folds
