22、4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the safety requirements and test methods for soft carriers for children i.e. those carriers without a framed support. These carriers are designed to transport a child in an essentially vertical position whilst attached to the carers torso. It is essential t
23、hat the carriers are designed to allow the carer hands free operation when standing and/or walking. These carriers are for use with a minimum weight of child of 3,5 kg. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. For date
24、d references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

25、rties of vertically oriented specimens (ISO 6941:2003) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 soft carrier product without a framed support designed to transport a child in an essentially vertical position whilst attached to
26、 the carers torso. It is essential that the product has holes designed to accommodate the childs legs 3.2 carers attachment system fastenings, straps and/or belts or similar parts which are fitted to or are part of the soft carrier for the purpose of securing the article to the carers torso 4 Genera
27、l requirements 4.1 Multi-purpose products If the carrier has other functions not covered in this European Standard, reference should be made to the relevant European Standard. 4.2 Order of tests Unless otherwise stated the specified tests shall be carried out on one sample in the order of the clause
28、 numbers in this standard.

29、esting and test equipment: forces shall have an accuracy of 5 %; masses shall have an accuracy of 1 %; dimensions shall have an accuracy of 1 mm; time measurements shall have an accuracy of 1 s; angles shall have an accuracy of 1. 5 Materials 5.1 Chemical properties Any surface coatings of paint, va
30、rnish, lacquer or similar substances and parts consisting of dyed materials, leather and textiles shall be made using products, which in their soluble compound do not exceed the following amounts. The migration of synthetic or natural elements from coatings of paint, varnish, lacquer, printing ink,
31、polymer and similar coatings, and other materials whether mass coloured or not shall comply with the following: Antimony : 60 mg/kg Arsenic : 25 mg/kg Barium : 1 000 mg/kg Cadmium : 75 mg/kg Chromium : 60 mg/kg Lead : 90 mg/kg Mercury : 60 mg/kg Selenium : 500 mg/kg When a surface is coated with a m
32、ulti-layer of paint or similar coating, the sample shall not include the substrate. A separate sample shall be used to assess these requirements. These limits shall be checked according to the test described in EN 71-3. 5.2 Flammability 5.2.1 Requirements When tested in accordance with 5.2.3 the max
33、imum rate of the spread of flame shall be 50 mm/s. A separate sample shall be used to assess this requirement.

34、 6 5.2.2 Conditioning for flammability The soft carrier shall be washed, cleaned and dried twice in accordance with manufacturers instructions. The carrier shall be conditioned for at least 7 h in an environment temperature of (20 2) C and relative humidity (65 5) %. 5.2.3 Test equipment 5.2.3.1 Tes
35、t chamber A chamber with a maximum air movement of 0,2 m/s prior to the test. The air movement in the chamber shall not be affected by the operation of any mechanical apparatus during the test and the volume of air shall not be affected by the reduction in the level of oxygen concentration during th
36、e test. The temperature of the chamber shall be maintained in the range (10 and 30) C with a relative humidity between (15 and 80)% prior to the test. 5.2.3.2 Ignition source The test flame shall be obtained from the burner described in EN ISO 6941 operated with either butane or propane gas as appro
37、priate. The burner shall have a flame of (20 2) mm measured from the end of the burner tube to the top of the flame with the burner in a vertical position. 5.2.4 Test method The soft carrier shall be tested as intended to be worn by the carer, i.e. fully assembled. The carrier shall be suspended ver
38、tically by means of the shoulder straps of the carers attachment system. Any strap on the soft carrier shall be positioned to prevent the straps from affecting the results of the test. The soft carrier shall be positioned at least 300 mm from the walls of the test chamber detailed in 5.2.3.1. The so
39、ft carrier shall be tested within 5 min of its removal from the conditioning environment detailed in 5.2.2. The burner detailed in 5.2.3.2 shall be pre-heated for 2 min prior to the test. The flame shall be applied so that the distance between the edge of the burner tube and the soft carrier is (5 2
40、) mm the flame making contact with the outer facing of the soft carrier for 5 s. After removal of the flame, the time taken for the flame to spread on the surface of the soft carrier over the distance between the point of application and the upper edge of the burnt area shall be measured. 5.3 Shrink
41、age The carrier shall be washed and dried twice in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Any resulting shrinkage shall not prevent any removable parts from being refitted without damaging the seams of the fabric and shall not impair the performance and use of the article. 5.4 Monofilament
42、threads Monofilament threads shall not be used.

43、um size of the leg openings shall not allow the test sphere to pass completely through the leg opening when tested in accordance with 6.1.3. 6.1.2 Test equipment Test sphere made from a hard smooth material of diameter (120 2) mm and a mass of 2,27 kg. 6.1.3 Test method If the leg opening is adjusta
44、ble in size, it shall be tested at its minimum size as described in the manufacturers instructions. Ensure that the soft carrier is held so that no additional tension, which could restrict the passing of the sphere, is applied to the leg opening. Position the soft carrier so that the leg opening to
45、be tested is essentially horizontal. Gradually place the test sphere inside the leg opening and allow the sphere to rest in the leg opening for 1 min. 6.2 Small parts 6.2.1 Requirements Any components not intended to be detachable but which become detached when tested in accordance with 6.2.3 shall
46、not fit wholly within the small parts cylinder (Figure 1). Any component intended to be removable without the use of a tool shall not fit wholly within the small parts cylinder (Figure 1). 6.2.2 Test equipment Means of applying a force up to at least 90 N with an accuracy of ( 2) N, such as a spring
47、 balance or a dead weight arrangement. Feeler gauge with thickness of (0,4 0,02) mm, with the end to be inserted having a radius of approximately 3 mm.
