1、Designation:F219412 Designation: F2194 12aStandard Consumer Safety Specification forBassinets and Cradles1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2194; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last r
2、evision. 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 performance specification addresses infant bassinet and cradle incidentsidentified by the U.S. Consumer
3、 Product Safety Commission (CPSC).In response to the incident data compiled by the CPSC, this consumer safety performancespecification attempts to minimize the following hazards: (1) suffocation, (2) tip over, (3) collapse, and(4) hood detachment. It also addresses corner post extensions, which may
4、catch pacifier cords, ribbons,necklaces, or clothing which a child may be wearing and which may be caught on a projection. Thisspecification does not cover products that are blatantly misused or used in a careless manner thatdisregards the safety instructions and warnings provided with each bassinet
5、 or cradle.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification covers performance requirements, test methods, and marking requirements to promotesafe use of bassinets and cradles.1.2 This consumer safety performance specification is intended to minimize the risks of incidents to an infant resulting fromn
6、ormal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of a bassinet or cradle.1.3This consumer safety performance specification covers products intended to provide sleeping accommodations only for aninfant up to approximately 5 months in age or when the child begins to push up on hands and knees, whichever co
7、mes first.Products used in conjunction with an infant swing are not covered by this specification.1.3 This consumer safety performance specification covers products primarily intended to provide sleeping accommodations foran infant up to approximately 5 months in age or when the child begins to push
8、 up on hands and knees, whichever comes first.Products used in conjunction with an inclined infant swing or stroller, or products that are intended to provide an inclined sleepsurface (head-to-toe direction) of greater than 10 from horizontal while in the rest (non-rocking) position are not covered
9、by thisspecification.1.3.1 RationaleThe addition of developmental criteria was added to the 5-month age grade to accommodate varying motorskills in children.NOTE 1Cradle swings with an incline less than or equal to 10 from horizontal while in the rest (non-rocking) position are covered under the sco
10、peof this standard. A sleep product that has an inclined sleeping surface (intended to be greater than 10 from horizontal while in the rest (non-rocking)position) does not fall under the scope of this standard. Strollers that have a carriage/bassinet feature are covered by the stroller/carriage stan
11、dard whenin the stroller use mode. Carriage baskets/bassinets that are removable from the stroller base are covered under the scope of this standard when the carriagebasket/bassinet meets the definition of a bassinet/cradle found in 3.1.1. Bassinet/cradle attachments to cribs or play yards, as defin
12、ed in 3.1.2 or 3.1.12,are included in the scope of the standard when in the bassinet/cradle use mode.1.4 No bassinet or cradle produced after the approval date of this consumer safety performance specification shall, either bylabel or other means, indicate compliance with this specification unless i
13、t conforms to all requirements contained herein.1.5 This consumer safety performance specification is not intended to address incidents and injuries resulting from alterationor unreasonable abuse or misuse of the product by a child or child care giver.1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to
14、 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.1.7 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portion Section 7 of this consumer safety performance1This
