1、Designation: F2194 13aF2194 16Standard 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 revision. A n
2、umber 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 Product Saf
3、ety 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 catch pacifi
4、er 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 or cradle.1
5、. 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 fromnormal use an
6、d reasonably foreseeable misuse of a bassinet or cradle.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 up on hands and knees, whichever comes fi
7、rst.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 by thisspecification.1.3.1 RationaleThe ad
8、dition 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 scopeof this standard. A sleep product that o
9、nly has an inclined sleeping surfacesurfaces (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 If a product can be converted to a bassinet/cradle use mode and meetsthe definition of a bassinet/cradle fou
10、nd in 3.1.1that while in that mode, the product shall be included in the scope of this standard, when it is in thebassinet/cradle use mode. For example, strollers that have a carriage/bassinet feature are covered by the stroller/carriage standard when in the stroller usemode. Carriage baskets/bassin
11、ets that are removable from the stroller base are covered under the scope of this standard when the carriage basket/bassinetmeets the definition of a bassinet/cradle found in 3.1.1. Bassinet/cradle attachments to cribs or play yards, as defined in 3.1.2 or 3.1.13, are included inthe scope of the sta
12、ndard 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 it conforms to all requirements contained herein.1.5 This c
13、onsumer 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 be regarded as standard.
