DIN EN 12586:2011-04 EN 12586:2007+A1:2011 (E) 4 Introduction Accidents caused by soothers are few and any resulting in the death of a child are almost unknown. However, a small numb
21、er of children die as a result of accidents where a soother is involved, but in these cases death almost always results from strangulation by a cord being used to hang the soother around the childs neck. Such cords are usually either home-made or made for some other purpose, e.g. a coiled key ring h
22、older. This European Standard is the first for this type of product and its main aim is to eliminate the risk of strangulation. This has only been made possible by severely restricting the length of the soother holder. The length should be sufficient for its purpose while not being so long that the
23、strap can encircle the neck and strangle even the smallest child. The lack of reported incidents involving accidents or fatalities since its introduction would suggest that this standard has achieved this main aim. A functional soother holder is not to be considered as a toy. However, a soother hold
24、er may contain a part or be designed in such a way as to present a double use. That is the soother holder, in addition to its functional use, also has a significant playing value and therefore could also be considered as a toy 2. In these instances the entire product becomes a toy as well as being a
25、 soother holder and needs to meet the requirements of both the Toy Directive 3 as well as this European Standard. Chemical requirements for silicone rubber, vulcanized rubber and for thermoplastic elastomers have each been considered by the Technical Committee. They have not been included in this st
26、andard at this stage and will be reconsidered when further information becomes available. It is considered that for organic chemical compounds, the requirements, sample preparation and extraction, and methods of analysis provided in EN 71-9, EN 71-10 and EN 71-11 are suitable for soother holders. Ac
27、cording to where they are applicable, they have been used in this European Standard. A Normative Annex has been included which contains translations of warning phrases into the main European languages. DIN EN 12586:2011-04 EN 12586:2007+A1:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies safety r
28、equirements relating to the materials, construction, performance, packaging and labelling of soother holders (see B.1). It includes test methods for the mechanical and chemical requirements specified. All products that are intended to connect a soother for babies and young children with any other pr
29、oduct are included in the scope of this European Standard. This European Standard is intended to provide safety requirements for soother holders which are generally comprised of a strap with the holder at one end which retains the soother whilst the other end has a clasp that attaches to the childs
30、garment. Where a soother holder has been classified as a toy or considered to have significant play value then the soother holder will have to meet the essential safety requirements for toys as stated in the Toy Directive (88/378/EEC) in addition to those in this European Standard. The addition of d
31、ecorations or providing animal shaped fasteners should not automatically make the soother holder a toy; however the addition of a toy component to the soother holder will require that both the soother holder and the toy meet the essential safety requirements as stated in the Toy Directive. Where the
32、re is doubt concerning classification of a soother holder as a toy then advice should be sought from an EU Toy Notified Body or the Member States Competent Authority for toys (see B.2). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
