24、de Dynamic TestNo commercial cribs withdrop sides shall exhibit structural failure, loosening of fasten-ers, damage to latching or locking mechanisms or failure oflatching or locking mechanisms when tested in accordancewith 6.3.6. Test Methods6.1 Crib Static LoadA crib interior shall be loaded with
25、atotal load applied vertically without shock, and the total loadshall remain for 5 min. For the purpose of applying the load,the crib interior or mattress support area shall be divided intofour equal area quadrants. The total load shall be located inequal portions, in the center of each quadrant and
26、 at the centerpoint of the mattress support area, a total of 5 points.6.1.1 For this test, loads shall be placed on load distributionblocks. Each block shall be 6 by 6 by34 in. (15.2 by 15.2 by2 cm) and made of wood.6.1.2 The total load shall be the sum of the following:6.1.2.1 Based on the area of
27、the crib interior, determine themaximum number of users, as follows:Area of crib interior ft2cm2!/X 5 N (1)where:N = maximum number or users, andX = area for maximum age of user from Table 1.Round N to the nearest whole number.6.1.2.2 With the maximum number of users, apply the loadfor two 95th perc
28、entile maximum age users and the balance ofthe total users, 50th percentile maximum age users mass fromTable 1, as follows:N 25 N12 3 95th percentile lb kg! of maximum age user 1 N13 50th percentile lb kg! of maximum age user5 total load6.2 Threshold Test:6.2.1 Place a load of 180 lb (81.6 kg) in th
29、e crib to be tested.The load shall be distributed evenly per 6.1 (Crib Static Loadtest).6.2.1.1 Test PlatformThe test platform shall consist oftwo flat planes, of appropriate size to allow for crib movementas described below with enough extra room for swivel wheelsto change direction each cycle. The
30、 planes shall be securelyspaced so that there is a gap between them 1-14 in. (3.2 cm)wide between their edges. The gap shall be a minimum of 1 in.(2.5 cm) deep. The edge radius of the planes shall be amaximum of116 in. (1.6 mm).6.2.2 Test ASlowly roll the crib across the gap allowingthe wheel/caster
31、 to stop in and penetrate the gap as much aspossible. Using appropriate measurement devices measure thepenetration of the wheel/caster into the gap.6.2.3 Test BCycle the crib across the gap 500 times. Acycle shall consist of all wheels/casters of the crib crossing thegap once (250 times in each dire
32、ction). Each cycle shall be 4 61 s. Inspect the crib for damage or failure.6.3 Drop Side Dynamic Test:6.3.1 Prevent crib movement during crib side drop test byrestraining the legs of the crib in an appropriate manner at floorlevel.TABLE 1 Structural LoadingAge(Years)50th Percentilelb (kg)95th Percen

37、 Information)X1. RATIONALEX1.1 Paragraph 6.1The platform requirements in Con-sumer Safety Performance Specification F 1148 home play-ground provides a method for calculating the area of a platformto be tested and the application method of the test loads. Thismethod was used for the maximum static lo
38、ad in the cribinterior and simulates the number of users capable of using aspecific area. The method thus takes into consideration overand undersized non-full sized cribs as well a full sized cribs.This section reproduces the Consumer Safety PerformanceSpecification F 1148 section on platforms with
39、changed word-ing to reflect usage of the method for cribs. Also reproduced isthe loading chart for platforms for children from 1.5 years to 4years of age. This evaluation provides the worst case situationfor the absolute maximum number of children in the crib.X1.2 Paragraph 7.2Many of the assemblers
40、 and endusers of these products have limited English language capabil-ity, particularly in the hotel and hospitality industries. Thisrecognizes this issue.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
