40、5 dB. 5 General 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. BS EN 16232:2
41、013EN 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. I
42、f the 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 batt
43、eries 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 b
44、attery, 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:
45、Forces: 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. Un
46、less 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 hazard
47、s migration of certain elements The migration of synthetic or natural elements from coatings of paint, varnish, lacquer, polymer and similar coatings on exterior surfaces shall not exceed the following amounts: Antimony: 60 mg/kg Arsenic: 25 mg/kg Barium: 1 000 mg/kg Cadmium: 75 mg/kg Chromium: 60 m
48、g/kg BS EN 16232:2013EN 16232:2013 (E) 11 Lead: 90 mg/kg Mercury: 60 mg/kg Selenium: 500 mg/kg These limits shall be verified in accordance with the test method given in EN 71-3:1994. Where a surface is coated with a multi-layer of paint or similar coating, the test sample shall not include the base
49、 material. A separate sample may be used for these tests. 7 Thermal hazards Fabrics shall not produce a surface flash when applying a flame as described in EN 1103. A separate sample may be used for these tests. 8 Mechanical hazards 8.1 General 8.1.1 Determination of the junction line The junction line is determined as in Figure 7.
