3、wereidentified by the US CPSC including injuries as a result of falls and tip-overs from both elevated andfloor level surfaces. This specification does not cover infant floor seats that were either blatantlymisused or used in a careless manner with disregard to the warning statements and safety inst
4、ructionsprovided with each product. This specification is written within the current state-of-the-art of infantfloor seat technology. It is intended that this specification will be updated whenever substantiveinformation becomes available that necessitates additional requirements or justifies the re
5、vision of theexisting requirements.1. Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification covers the perfor-mance requirements and methods of test to ensure the satis-factory performance of infant floor seats.1.2 This consumer safety specification is intended to mini-mize injuries to children resulting from
6、 normal usage andreasonably foreseeable misuse or abuse of infant floor seats.This consumer safety specification is not intended to addressaccidents and injuries resulting from the interaction of olderchildren with children in infant floor seats.1.3 For purposes of this consumer safety specification
7、, aninfant floor seat is a seat which is placed on the floor that isintended to contain a child who can hold his/her head upunassisted (approximately 4 months of age) until the child caneither walk (approximately 12 months of age) or get in and outof the product by themselves. An infant floor seat m
