Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Infant Swings
SCOPE
1.1 This consumer safety specification establishes safety performance requirements, test methods, and labeling requirements to minimize the hazards to infants presented by swings as identified in the introduction.
1.2 This consumer safety specification is intended to minimize the risk of injuries to infants resulting from normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse or abuse of infant swings. It is not intended to address all incidents and injuries resulting from the interaction of other persons with the infant in the swing.
1.3 No swing 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.
1.4 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.
1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 7, of this consumer safety 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
ThisconsumersafetyspecificationaddressesinfantswingincidentsidentifiedbytheU.S.Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
In response to incident data compiled by the CPSC, this consumer safety specification attempts to
minimize the following: (1) swings tipping over or collapsing, (2) structural failures, and (3)
entanglement in the restraints or entrapment in leg holes. This consumer safety specification is
intended to cover normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse or abuse of infant swings. This
specification does not cover swings that are blatantly misused or used in a careless manner that
disregards the safety instructions and warnings provided with each infant swing.
This consumer safety specification is written within the current state-of-the-art of infant swing
technology and will be updated whenever substantive information becomes available that necessitates
additional requirements or justifies the revision of existing requirements.
