1、Designation: F3084 14Standard Consumer Safety Specification forInfant and Infant/Toddler Rockers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F3084; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
2、A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis consumer safety specification is intended to minimize the risk of injury or death associatedwith a childs use of an infant or in
3、fant/toddler rocker. The specific hazards addressed by thisspecification are product disassembly/collapse, stability, and falls from elevated surfaces.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification covers establishmentof requirements, test methods, and marking requirements topromote safe use of the
4、rocker by an occupant and a caregiver.1.2 For purposes of this consumer safety specification, aninfant rocker or infant/toddler rocker is a freestanding productintended to support an occupant in a seated, reclined positionand to facilitate rocking by the occupant with the aid of acaregiver or by oth
5、er means. Intended occupants for infantrockers are infants who have not developed the ability to sit upunassisted (approximately 0 to 6 months of age), and infant/toddler rockers have an extended use with occupants untiltoddler age (approximately 212 years of age). Both infant andinfant/toddler rock
6、ers include a restraint system.1.3 This specification does not cover positions or modes onproducts that recline to 10 or less above the horizontal or areintended primarily for sleeping. If the rocker can be convertedinto a product for which an ASTM standard consumer safetyspecification exists, the p
7、roduct shall meet the applicablerequirements of that standard. For example, a rocker thatconverts to a bassinet shall also comply with the applicablerequirements of Consumer Safety Specification F2194 when ina bassinet mode. This specification does not cover rockersintended for toddler only use with
8、out a restraint system,hand-held infant carriers or inclined sleep products that havethe ability to rock or have a rocking mode.1.4 This consumer safety specification is intended to mini-mize the risk of injury to an occupant resulting from normaluse and reasonably foreseeable misuse or abuse of an
9、infant orinfant/toddler rocker.1.5 No rocker produced after the approval date of thisconsumer safety specification shall, either by label or othermeans, indicate compliance with this specification unless itconforms to all requirements contained herein.1.6 This consumer safety specification is not in
10、tended toaddress incidents and injuries resulting from the interaction ofother persons with the occupant in the product or the incidentsresulting from abuse or misuse by other children.1.7 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathem
11、aticalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.8 The following precautionary 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,
12、if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
