Standard Consumer Safety Performance Specification for Commercial Cribs
ABSTRACT
This consumer safety performance specification establishes performance requirements, test methods, and marking requirements to promote the safe use of cribs in commercial environments such as hotels, rentals, motels, day care centers and the like. Crib static load, threshold test, and drop side dynamic test shall be performed in accordance to the requirements specified.
SCOPE
1.1 This consumer safety performance specification establishes performance requirements, test methods, and marking requirements to promote the safe use of cribs in commercial environments such as hotels, rentals, motels, and child care centers and the like.
1.2 This consumer safety performance specification subsumes the federal and ASTM standards which are in existence for these types of product when those products are used in non-commercial applications.
1.3 This consumer safety performance specification includes products intended to provide a safe sleeping environment such as full size cribs, non-full size cribs, and play yards and includes both rigid and mesh sided units. The term “crib” as used in this standard includes all of these items.
1.4 Products such as bassinets and cradles are specifically excluded from this consumer safety performance specification.
1.5 No commercial crib produced after the approval date of this consumer safety performance specification shall, either by label or other means indicate compliance with this specification unless it conforms to all applicable requirements contained herein, before and after all testing.
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 6, 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.

INTRODUCTION
This consumer safety performance specification addresses incidents identified by the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) which involved infant cribs used in commercial uses
such as the hospitality and child care industries.
In response to incident data compiled by CPSC, and in recognition of the heavier use that cribs
which are used for commercial purposes encounter, this consumer safety performance specification
attempts to minimize the hazards which result from structural failure and related deficiencies.

INTRODUCTION
This consumer safety performance specification addresses incidents identified by the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) which involved infant cribs used in commercial uses
such as the hospitality and daychild care industries.
In response to incident data compiled by CPSC, and in recognition of the more intense heavier use
that cribs which are used for commercial purposes encounter, this consumer safety performance
specification attempts to minimize the hazards which result from structural failure, instability, failure
and related deficiencies. This consumer safety performance specification will also address issues
related to maintenance and repair of these products in use, their transportation and storage and the
wide variety of uses for these products.
1. Scope
