Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Infant and Infant/Toddler Rockers

ABSTRACT
This consumer safety specification covers the requirements and test methods to promote safe use of infant and infant/toddler rockers by both occupants and caregivers. It is intended to minimize the risk of injury or death associated with a child’s use of an infant or infant/toddler rocker. The specific hazards addressed by this specification are product disassembly/collapse, stability, and falls from elevated surfaces. Intended occupants for infant rockers are infants who have not developed the ability to sit up unassisted (approximately 0-6 months of age), and infant/toddler rockers with an extended use with occupants until toddler age (approximately 2.5 years of age). Both infant and infant/toddler rockers include a restraint system. This specification does not address positions or modes on products that recline to 10 degrees or less above the horizontal or are intended primarily for sleeping. Also excluded from this specification are rockers intended for toddler only use without a restraint system, hand-held infant carriers or inclined sleep products that have the ability to rock or have a rocking mode. Test methods include seat angles test and cover single action release mechanisms, restraint system, stability, static slip resistance, structural integrity, disassembly/collapse, toy bar attachment integrity, permanency of labels and warnings, and protective components. Requirements for marking and labeling are also covered by this specification.
SCOPE
1.1 This consumer safety specification covers establishment of requirements, test methods, and marking requirements to promote safe use of the rocker by an occupant and a caregiver.  
1.2 This specification does not cover rockers intended for toddler only use without a restraint system, hand-held infant carriers, or sleep products that have the ability to rock or have a rocking mode.  
1.3 This consumer safety specification is intended to minimize the risk of injury to an occupant resulting from normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse or abuse of an infant or infant/toddler rocker.  
1.4 No rocker produced after the approval date of this consumer safety specification shall, either by label or other means, indicate compliance with this specification unless it conforms to all requirements contained herein.  
1.5 This consumer safety specification is not intended to address incidents and injuries resulting from the interaction of other persons with the occupant in the product or the incidents resulting from abuse or misuse by other children.  
1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.7 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 7, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.8 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
