Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEEditorial changes made throughout in August 2016.INTRODUCTIONThis safety performance specification ad
3、dresses diaper changing tables for use in commercialenvironments.The CPSC identified the following injuries to children associated with the use of diaper changingtables in the residential environment: falls, stability, restraint systems, latches and foldingmechanisms, structural integrity, and death
4、s due to entrapment in openings. In response to theincidents data developed by the CPSC, this safety performance specification attempts to minimize thepreviously listed problems. This specification does not cover tables that are blatantly misused,although warnings and safety instructions are require
5、d to be prominently displayed on or with eachtable.This consumer safety performance specification is not intended to address incidents and injuriesresulting from the interaction of other persons with children on tables or incidents resulting fromunforeseeable abuse or misuse.This consumer safety per
6、formance specification is written within the current state of the art ofdiaper changing table technology. It is intended that this specification will be updated wheneversubstantive information becomes available which necessitates additional requirements or justifies therevision of existing requireme
7、nts.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification establishes safetyperformance requirements, test methods, and labeling require-ments to minimize the hazards to children presented by diaperchanging tables as identified in the introduction.1.2 This specification is intended to apply to diaper chang
8、-ing tables for commercial use. It is intended for use withchildren up to 3.5 years of age and weighing less than 50 lbs.1.3 No diaper changing table produced after the approvaldate of this consumer safety performance specification shall,either by label or other means, indicate compliance with thiss
9、pecification unless it conforms to all requirements herein.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.5 The following precauti
10、onary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion, Section 7, of this consumer safety speci-fication: This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and hea

Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 conspicuous, na label which is visible, when the unitis in a manufacturers recommended use position, to a personstan
18、ding near the unit at any one position around the unit, butnot necessarily visible from all positions.3.1.2 manufacturers recommended use position, nanyposition, which is presented as a normal, allowable, or accept-able configuration for use of the product by the manufacturer inany descriptive or in
19、structional literature. This specificallyexcludes positions that the manufacturer shows in a likemanner in its literature to be unacceptable, unsafe, or notrecommended.3.1.3 static load, na vertically downward load applied bya dead weight or other means.4. General Testing Requirements4.1 All testing
