If an infant swing has several functio
26、ns or can be converted into another function, the relevant European Standards apply to it. Swings falling under the scope of EN 71-8 are excluded from the scope of this European Standard.

42、neral requirements and test conditions 5.1 Product conditioning Before testing, any fabrics used shall be cleaned or washed and dried twice in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. 5.2 Test conditions The tests shall be carried out in ambient conditions of (20 5) C. DIN EN 16232:2013-12 EN
43、 16232:2013 (E) 10 The tests are designed to be applied to infant swings that are fully assembled and ready for use in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. If the infant swing can be assembled or adjusted in different ways, the most onerous combinations shall be used for each test. If the
44、 infant swing has any battery-powered mechanism, it shall be tested using new non-rechargeable alkaline batteries; if the infant swing is supplied with its own rechargeable battery pack, it shall be tested with the battery pack fully charged in accordance with the instructions for use. The batteries
45、 used are those with the voltage and size specified on the infant swing or in the instructions. Lithium batteries or rechargeable batteries shall not be used unless their use is recommended in the instructions. If the infant swing fails to withstand a test and this could be due to a defective batter
46、y, the test shall be repeated with a new set of batteries. 5.3 Application of forces The forces in the static load tests shall be applied sufficiently slowly to ensure that negligible dynamic force is applied. 5.4 Tolerances Unless otherwise stated, the accuracy of the test equipment shall be: Force
47、s: 5 % of the nominal force; Masses: 0,5 % of the nominal mass; Dimensions: 0,5 mm of the nominal dimension; Angles: 0,5 of the nominal angle; The tests are described in terms of the application of forces. Masses can however be used. The relationship 10 N = 1 kg may be used for this purpose. Unless
48、otherwise specified, the test forces may be applied by any suitable device which does not adversely affect the results. 5.5 Order of tests Unless otherwise stated in the test methods, the tests shall be carried out on the same infant swing in the order listed in this standard. 6 Chemical hazards migration of certain elements The migration of synthetic or natural elements from coatings of paint, varnish, lacquer, polymer and similar coating
