17、has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 252 “Child use and care articles”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2005, and con
18、flicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2005. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
19、 Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. This European Standard EN 14350 “Child use and care articles Drinking equipment“ co
20、nsists of the following parts: Part 1: General and mechanical requirements and tests Part 2: Chemical requirements and tests EN 14350-1:2004 (E) 4 Introduction This document establishes minimum safety requirements and gives appropriate test methods for childrens drinking equipment. The complete docu
21、ment harmonises for the first time minimum safety requirements and test methods for childrens drinking equipment. Some of the provisions have been taken from other existing national and European Standards and for these provisions the Technical Committee has relied on previous validation. It is not p
22、ermitted to claim compliance with individual parts of this document. Any claim relates to all published parts. A significant choking hazard can arise if the component parts of drinking equipment become separated during use. This hazard is addressed in this document by the inclusion of a security tes
23、t. However, as the fixing of such products to the container is user-dependent, the risk of an accident cannot be completely eliminated. This document sets out labelling requirements stating that parents or carers should not leave children unattended whilst being fed with a product containing a feedi
24、ng teat or drinking accessory and that children should not be allowed to use feeding teats as a soother. The Technical Committee considered the possibility of standardizing both the sizes of feeding teats and ranges of flow rates. However, it was decided that the many combinations of container syste
25、ms in use precluded the standardization of sizes. It is recommended that all container and feeding teat combinations used are matched components. The provision of meaningful flow rate information is difficult because of several factors including hole diameter, teat thickness, hole shape /type of fee
26、d, and also how individual infants suck the teat. Accordingly, it was decided not to include a test for flow rate but to recommend that manufacturers provide information on flow rate and hole size that is appropriate to their particular product. It is recommended that manufacturers and suppliers ope
27、rate to EN ISO 9001 1 standard for quality management systems. EN 14350-1:2004 (E) 5 1 Scope This part of this document specifies general and mechanical requirements for materials to be used for the manufacture of: Re-usable feeding teats and drinking accessories; Re-usable feeding bottles and drink
28、ing cups; Single-use feeding bottles, feeding teats, feeding bags and drinking accessories, which do not contain fluid when purchased. It includes test methods for the mechanical safety requirements specified. It does not apply to drinking equipment designed for medical applications or for use under
29、 medical supervision. This document is not applicable to soothers. Safety requirements and test methods for soothers are specified in EN 1400-1, EN1400-2 and EN 1400-3. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
