Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements
29、 of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes CEN/TR 13387-3:2015. This new edition of this Technical Report is a hazard based Technical Report. In comparison with the previous version,
30、 the main changes related to the section on Mechanical hazards are: Ageing and wear: Reworded; Accessibility of mechanical hazards: Reworded; Entrapment Hazards: Addition of a new finger probe and a hip probe; Hazards from moving parts: Moving parts separated into two main areas; Entanglement hazard
31、s: Improvement of the diagram for the ball and chain test; clarification of the clause for “Cords, ribbons and parts used as ties; Suffocation hazards: Clarification of the clause for “Non air-permeable packaging”; Hazardous edges and projections: Drawings deleted; Protective function: Addition of a
32、 hip probe; Footholds: Reworded. The CEN/TR 13387 series comprises the following five parts: Safety philosophy and safety assessment (CEN/TR 13387-1); Chemical hazards (CEN/TR 13387-2); Mechanical hazards (CEN/TR 13387-3); Thermal hazards (CEN/TR 13387-4); Product information (CEN/TR 13387-5). CEN/T
33、R 13387-3 is intended to be used in conjunction with CEN/TR 13387-1. PD CEN/TR 13387-3:2018CEN/TR 13387-3:2018 (E) 7 1 Scope This document provides guidance information on mechnical hazards that should be taken into consideration when developing safety standards for child care articles. In addition,
34、 these guidelines can assist those with a general professional interest in child safety. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

39、rts of the product 4 Mechanical hazards Safety philosophy This clause addresses the most widely known mechanical hazards and is intended to provide guidance when drafting standards for child care articles. Anthropometric data and information on the abilities of children related to risks are given in
40、 CEN/TR 13387-1:2018, Annex A. When using these data for setting requirements, adequate safety PD CEN/TR 13387-3:2018CEN/TR 13387-3:2018 (E) 8 margins should be considered. These data refer to static and not dynamic anthropometric data, therefore care should be taken if using these data for anything
41、 other than static situations when drafting standards. When drafting standards, conditions of use should be considered, bearing in mind the behaviour of children. Also, it is to be considered whether the child is attended or unattended when using the product and also the childs access to hazardous f
42、eatures. For each mechanical hazard a rationale is given, explaining the potential hazard to the child. Requirements, test equipment and test methods are also given. Where appropriate, these can be used when drafting standards. 5 Accessibility of mechanical hazards 5.1 General Within the mechanical
43、section no reference is made to specific areas of access, known as access zones. It would be wrong for this guidance document to specify exact areas of access as these should be determined in relation to the hazards and risks of individual products and risks when drafting the standard. As a general
44、guidance to the types of contact associated with mechanical hazards, the following examples are given: the hazardous part is in reach of the child from the intended position of use in particular by head, mouth, hands or feet and there is a high probability for frequent, intensive and/or prolonged co
45、ntact. Requirements need to address this primary contact; the hazardous part may be reached by the child or any other child beyond the intended position of use. The product is considered to remain in its intended position(s). Access to hazardous parts is gained by passing/moving around the product o
46、r when proceeding to the intended position. The risk of harm deriving from frequent, intensive and/or pro-longed contact may be less probable; the hazardous part exists, but cannot be reached by any child. Irrespective of the access category, the reasonably foreseeable conditions of use should alway
47、s be considered when designing childrens products and/or writing product standards. 5.2 Accessibility areas Information for determination of accessibility areas in connection with age group is given in Table 1 and Figure 1. These reach envelopes are based on a computer simulation, therefore the dime
48、nsions should be treated with care. If in the future experiments with children are undertaken, these figures in the table may be determined more accurately.
