(Specification)Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Full-Size Baby Cribs
Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Full-Size Baby Cribs
ABSTRACT
This consumer safety specification establishes the performance requirements and test procedures to determine the structural integrity, design requirements addressing entanglement on corner post extensions, and requirements for warning labels and instructional material for full-size baby cribs. Fully-furnished cribs shall be tested on, and correspondingly conform to the following test requirements: mattress support system vertical impact properties; drop and stationary side (static and cyclic) properties; crib side spindle/slat torque properties; drop and folding side latch properties; and plastic teething rail properties.
SCOPE
1.1 This consumer safety specification establishes performance requirements and test procedures to determine the structural integrity of full-size cribs. It also contains design requirements addressing entanglement on crib corner post extensions, and requirements for warning labels and instructional material. It also covers bassinet, changing table, or similar accessories to a crib that when in the manufacturer’s recommended use position are in the occupant retention area. These accessories shall also comply with the applicable requirements of the ASTM International standards addressing those accessories. For example, a changing table that attaches to a crib shall also comply with the applicable requirements in Consumer Safety Specification F2388. This specification does not cover inflatable products.
1.2 No crib 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.
1.3 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.
1.4 The following safety hazards 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

INTRODUCTION
This consumer safety specification addresses crib incidents that were identified by the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
CPSC received reports of strangulations incidents associated with crib corner post extensions and
incidents concerning failure of crib hardware and other structural components of cribs that also
resulted in fatalities.
In response to the incident data collected by the CPSC, this consumer safety specification attempts
to minimize the risk of injury or death due to: failure of mattress support hardware, failure of glued
or bolted connections, side latch failure, and dislodgment of teething rails. This safety specification
also addresses incidents associated with poor maintenance or assembly by means of requirements for
the contents of instructional literature that must accompany a crib.
