3、 which involved infant cribs used in commercial usessuch as the hospitality and day care industries.In response to incident data compiled by CPSC, and in recognition of the more intense use that cribswhich are used for commercial purposes encounter, this consumer safety performance specificationatte
4、mpts to minimize the hazards which result from structural failure, instability, and relateddeficiencies. This consumer safety performance specification will also address issues related tomaintenance and repair of these products in use, their transportation and storage and the wide varietyof uses for
5、 these products.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety performance specification establishes performance requirements, test methods, and markingrequirements to promote the safe use of cribs in commercial environments such as hotels, rentals, motels, day care centers and thelike.1.2 This consumer safety pe
6、rformance specification subsumes the federal andASTM standards which are in existence for thesetypes of product when those products are used in non-commercial applications.1.3 This consumer safety performance specification includes products intended to provide a safe sleeping environment such asfull
7、 size cribs, non full size cribs, and playards and includes both rigid and mesh sided units. The term “crib” as used in thisstandard includes all of these items.1.4 Products such as bassinets and cradles are specifically excluded from this consumer safety performance specification.1.5 No commercial
8、crib produced after the approval date of this consumer safety performance specification shall, either by labelor other means indicate compliance with this specification unless it conforms to all applicable requirements contained herein,before and after all testing.1.6 The following precautionary cav
9、eat pertains only to the test method portions of this consumer and other referenced safetyspecifications. The standard(s) may involve the use of hazardous materials, operations and equipment. The standard(s) does notpurport to address all of the safety concerns, if any associated with its use. It is
10、 the responsibility of the user of this standard toestablish all appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.7 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematica

Capitol St., NW, Mail Stop: SDE, Washington, DC 20401, http:/www.access.gpo.gov.F2710 1326.1.1 For this test, loads shall be placed on load distribution blocks. Each block shall be 6 by 6 by 34 in. (15.2 by 15.2 by 2cm) and made of wood.6.1.2 The total load
30、shall be the sum of the following:6.1.2.1 Based on the area of the crib interior, determine the maximum number of users, as follows:Area of crib interior ft2 cm2!/X 5N (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 W

32、 Threshold Test:6.2.1 Place a load of 180 lb (81.6 kg) in the crib to be tested. The load shall be distributed evenly per 6.1 (Crib Static Load test).6.2.1.1 Test PlatformThe test platform shall consist of two flat planes, of appropriate size to allow for crib movement asdescribed below with enough
33、extra room for swivel wheels to change direction each cycle. The planes shall be securely spacedso 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 a maximum of 116 in. (1.6 mm).6.2.2
34、 Test ASlowly roll the crib across the gap allowing the wheel/caster to stop in and penetrate the gap as much as possible.Using appropriate measurement devices measure the penetration of the wheel/caster into the gap.6.2.3 Test BCycle the crib across the gap 500 times. A cycle shall consist of all w
35、heels/casters of the crib crossing the gaponce (250 times in each direction). Each cycle shall be 4 6 1 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 by restraining the legs of the crib in an appropriate manner at floor le
36、vel.6.3.2 Suspend 30 lb (13.6 kg) mass from center of top rail of the crib drop side. Fix the mass to the drop side such that masswill not move and impact crib during test.6.3.3 Raise crib drop side by any suitable means to a height just prior to latch engagement and then release. Repeat the dropseq
37、uence at a rate of one cycle every 3 6 1 s for a total of 500 cycles. Inspect crib, drop side and hardware for damage or failure.7.

41、 and the application method of the test loads. This method wasused for the maximum static load in the crib interior and simulates the number of users capable of using a specific area. The methodthus takes into consideration over and undersized non-full sized cribs as well a full sized cribs. This se
