United States13.1.6 scooter, na vehicle that has two or more wheels, alow platform, a vertical element for the user to grasp, and amethod of steering and is
16、propelled by the user pushing onefoot against the ground with the other foot resting on theplatform.3.1.7 static load, na vertically downward load applied bya dead weight or other means.4. General Testing Requirements4.1 The unit shall be completely assembled, unless other-wise noted, in accordance
17、with the manufacturers instructions.4.2 The product to be tested shall be in a room with anambient temperature of 73 6 9F (23 6 5C) for at least 1 hprior to testing. Testing shall then be conducted within thistemperature range unless a test specifically requires anothertemperature.4.3 All testing re
18、quired by this specification shall be con-ducted on the same unit unless otherwise specified (see 7.1).5. General Requirements5.1 The unit shall conform to the federal regulations speci-fied in 2.2 of this specification both before and after all testing.5.2 Prior to testing, any exposed parts shall
19、be smooth andfree of splinters, spurs, and burrs.5.3 Latching MechanismsAny unit that folds shall have alatching device or other provision in the design that willprevent the unit from unintentional folding when properlyplaced in the manufacturers recommended use position. Prod-ucts with latching dev
20、ices for prevention of unintentionalfolding shall be tested in accordance with 7.9. During and uponcompletion of this test, the unit shall remain latched in itsmanufacturers recommended use position.5.4 Folding Mechanisms, Hinges, and ClearancesThisrequirement is intended to eliminate possible crush
21、ing,laceration, or pinching hazards that might occur in foldingmechanisms and hinges. Examples are the motion of a hingethat produces a scissor action and the changing clearances atthe hinge line between two hinged portions, such that the gapwill admit fingers at one position of the hinge but not at
22、 allpositions. This requirement is also intended to eliminatepossible hazards that may be caused by changing clearances.The different pinch clearance requirements listed reflect thedifferent modes of entrapment or pinching that may be encoun-tered. Scooters shall meet these requirements after they a
23、retested in accordance with Section 7.5.4.1 Hinge-Line ClearanceScooters having a gap orclearance along the hinge line between a stationary portion anda moveable portion that weighs more than12 lb (0.2 kg) shallbe so constructed that, if the accessible gap at the hinge linewill admit a316-in. (5-mm)
24、 diameter rod, it will also admit a12-in. (13-mm)diameter rod at all positions of the hinge.5.4.2 Accessible Clearances for Moveable SegmentsThisrequirement concerns clearances between movable segmentson scooters intended for children, where the potential forpinching or crushing fingers or other app
25、endages exists. Itincludes, but is not limited to, wheels and rigid-wheel wells,fenders, or the radial clearance between the wheels and chassisof scooters. If such accessible clearances admit a316-in.(5-mm) diameter rod, they shall also admit a12-in. (13-mm)diameter rod in order to prevent the trapp
26、ing of fingers.5.4.3 Inaccessibility of MechanismsMechanisms in scoot-ers shall not have any accessible part of the mechanism presenta pinch or laceration hazard.5.5 LabelingWarning labels or warnings applied directlyonto the surface of the product shall be permanent when testedin accordance with 7.
