19、 that contains the occupant.4. Calibration and Standardization4.1 All testing shall be conducted on a concrete floor thatmay be covered with18 in. (3 mm) thick vinyl floor covering,unless test instructs differently.4.2 The product shall be completely assembled in accor-dance with the manufacturers i
20、nstructions.4.3 No testing shall be conducted within 48 h of manufac-ture.4.4 The product to be tested shall be at an ambient tempera-ture of 73 6 9F (23 6 5C) for at least one hour beforetesting.All testing shall be conducted in this temperature range.4.5 All testing required by this consumer safet
21、y specifica-tion shall be conducted on the same unit in the order presentedin this specification.5. Performance Requirements5.1 Prior to or immediately after testing to this consumersafety specification, the bedside sleeper must be tested toConsumer Safety Specification F2194. Multi-mode productsmus
22、t also be tested to each applicable standard. When testingto Consumer Safety Specification F2194 the unit shall be freestanding, and not be secured to the test platform as dictatedelsewhere in this standard.5.1.1 The bassinet minimum side height shall be as requiredin Consumer Safety Specification F
23、2194 with the exception ofa lowered side rail as permitted in 5.4.5.2 When the product is secured to the Test Platform 2 from7.1.2 of Consumer Safety Specification F2085, per the manu-facturers recommended method, there shall be no more than12in. (13 mm) separation from the bed measured at any point
24、along the length of the line of contact between the product andthe test platform.5.3 Product Disengagement:5.3.1 The bedside sleeper shall not separate from the testplatform more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) at any point of attachment tothe test platform when tested in accordance with 6.1.1-6.1.3.5.3.2 The b
25、edside sleeper may separate from the test plat-form more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) during application of the forcein 6.1.4 but shall not remain separated more than 1 in. (2.5 cm)after removal of the force.5.4 The bedside sleeper shall have a barrier around theentire perimeter of the occupant retention spa
26、ce. If a bedsidesleeper is equipped with a side or end portion which is loweror partially lowers by any means, the height of the side rail inthe lowest position shall be no less than 4 in. (10.2 cm) whenmeasured from the top of the uncompressed bedside sleepermattress to the top of the lowered side
27、rail, when the mattresssupport is in its highest position.5.4.1 Four-Inch Nest RationaleThe center of gravity(CG) of a child lying down on his/her side is roughly thecenterline of the body. Since maximum shoulder breadth for 3to 5 month olds is 21.8 cm (8.6 in.) (Snyder, 1977), half of thatis 10.9 c
28、m (4.3 in.). Also, maximum hip breadth for the sameage range is 18.2 cm (7.2 in.), half of which is 9.1 cm (3.6 in.).Assuming that the CG lies approximately along the centerlineof the body and the child is laying with one side flat on themattress, the CG will likely lie roughly between 9 cm and 11cm
29、 above the mattress.5.5 If a bedside sleeper is equipped with a side or endportion which partially lowers by any means, it shall remainengaged and operative after testing as follows:5.5.1 Each single-action locking or latching device that isprovided to prevent folding shall require a minimum force o
30、f10 lbf (45 N) to activate the release mechanism when tested inaccordance with 6.2.5.5.2 Each double-action locking or latching device that isprovided to prevent folding shall require two distinct andseparate actions for release. There are no force requirementsfor double-action locking or latching d
31、evices.5.6 The bedside sleeper must provide a means to be securedto an adult bed and the top rail designed to be adjacent to theadult bed shall be at or below the acceptable adult bed heightrange specified in the instructional literature.6. Test Methods6.1 Product Disengagement Test Method:6.1.1 Ass
32、emble the bedside sleeper in the manufacturersrecommended use position(s) utilizing Test Platform 2 fromConsumer Safety Specification F2085, subsection 7.1.2. Thefoundation of Test Platform 2 shall be placed in a commonmetal bed frame.6.1.2 Apply 25 lbf (111 N) to the midpoint of a horizontalcross m
33、ember closest in height to the attachment means on thebedside sleeper structure (manufacturer illustration), and in adirection most likely to dislodge the bedside sleeper from thetest platform. The load shall be applied througha2by2in.(50by 50 mm) wood block gradually over 5 s and held for 10 s.Meas
34、ure the maximum separation of the product from the topof the mattress of Test Platform 2 while the force is beingapplied.F2906 1226.1.3 Apply 25 lbf (111 N) to one outside corner of theBedside Sleeper structure closest to Test Platform 2 (manufac-turer illustration). Apply the force to the structure
35、 perpendicu-lar to the length of the bed within 2 in. (50 mm) of the topsurface of Test Platform 2 and in a direction most likely todislodge the bedside sleeper from the test platform. The loadshall be applied througha2by2in.(50by50mm)wood blockgradually over 5 s and held for 10 s. Measure the separ
36、ation ofthe product from Test Platform 2 at the height of the top of themattress on the bed while the force is being applied. Repeat onthe other outside corner of the products structure closest toTest Platform 2.6.1.4 Apply a 50 lbf (225 N) to each of the previously testedlocations without adjusting
37、 the product. Apply the force over aperiod of 5 s. After removing the force, measure the maximumseparation of the product from the Test Platform 2 at the heightof the top of the mattress.6.1.4.1 Product Disengagement RationaleTests areneeded to insure product integrity and that a bedside sleeperprod
38、uct remains secured to the adult bed during foreseeable useand misuse of the product. The 25 lbf tests represent themaximum forces that an infant could apply to the product whilelocated inside of the sleeping area. The 50 lbf tests representthe maximum forces that an adult may exert on the bedsidesl
39、eeper product by rolling into the product while sleeping orsiblings pulling on the unit while attached to an adult bed. Testforces include a safety factor of 2 times the force.6.2 Folding Latch Test MethodWith the product in themanufacturers recommended use position, gradually apply aforce of 10 lbf
40、 (45 N) to the locking mechanism in the directiontending to unlock it.7.
