When tested in accordance with 7.2, there shall be no surface flash and the rate of spread of flame shall
not exceed 50 mm/s.
A separate sample, conditioned according to 5.1, may be used for these tests.
7.2 Test method
To verify the surface flash effect apply the test flame defined in EN 71-2:2011+A1:2014, 5.5 for
(3 ± 0,5) s to the infant swing in different places likely to cause surface flash.
To verify rate of spread of flame apply the test flame defined in EN 71-2:2011+A1:2014, 5.4.".

When tested in accordance with 8.3.2, there shall be no completely bounded openings, within the
protected volume, between 7 mm and 12 mm unless the depth is less than 10 mm or unless the shape
assessment probe (see 4.6) enters when tested in accordance with 8.3.2.
When tested in accordance with 8.3.2, there shall be no openings in mesh, within the protected volume,
that allow the test probe for mesh (see 4.6) to penetrate to the 7 mm diameter section.
The test shall be carried out with the product in any intended position of use.
This requirement does not apply to the restraint system.
8.3.2 Test method
Check whether the 7 mm probe (see 4.6), with an applied force of up to 30 N, enters 10 mm or more
into any accessible completely bounded opening in any possible orientation.
If the 7 mm probe enters 10 mm or more, then the 12 mm probe (see 4.6) shall also enter 10 mm or
more with an applied force of up to 5 N.
If the 7 mm probe enters with an applied force of up to 30 N but the 12 mm probe does not enter 10 mm
