2、 A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () 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).
3、In response to incident 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
4、cover normal use and 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 writ
5、ten within the current 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 safety perfo
6、rmance requirements, test methods, and labeling requirements tominimize the hazards to infants presented by swings as identified in the introduction.1.2 This consumer safety specification is intended to minimize the risk of injuries to infants resulting from normal use andreasonably foreseeable misu
7、se or abuse of infant swings. It is not intended to address all incidents and injuries resulting from theinteraction of other persons with the infant in the swing.1.3 No swing produced after the approval date of this consumer safety specification shall, either by label or other means,indicate compli

This section does not apply to a circuit having one or two batteries as the only source of power.6.1.4 The surfaces of any accessible
46、electrical component, including batteries, shall not achieve temperatures exceeding 160F(71C) when tested in accordance with 7.1. At the conclusion of the test, there shall be no battery leakage or, explosion or a fireto any electrical component. This test shall be performed prior to conducting any
