If the high chair is a knock-down type, it shall be assembled according to the instructions supplied with it. If the instructions allow for different adjustments or configurations of components (e.g. inclination of the backrest, height of the seat, position of the tray, position of castors/wheels, etc.), the most onerous combination shall be used for each test, unless otherwise specified in the test method. Knock-down fittings shall be tightened before testing. Further re-tightening shall not take place. 4.2 Application of forces The forces in the static load tests shall be applied sufficiently slowly to ensure that negligible dynamic force is applied. The tests are described in terms of the application of forces, however masses can be used. The relationship 10 N = 1 kg shall be used for this purpose. 4.3 Tolerances Unless otherwise stated, the following tolerances apply: — Forces: ± 5 % of the nominal force; — Masses: ± 0,5 % of the nominal mass; — Dimensions: ± 1,0 mm of the nominal dimension; — Angles: ± 2° of the nominal angle; — Positioning of loading pads: ± 5 mm.

Die Norm schafft ein einheitliches Verständnis darüber, was bei der Herstellung und dem Verkauf von Kinderhochstühlen zu beachten ist. Dies ist insbesondere wichtig in einem Markt, der immer stärker reguliert wird und in dem Sicherheit höchste Priorität hat. Zusätzlich ist zu beachten, dass die Norm nicht nur für den privaten Gebrauch gilt, sondern auch für den gewerblichen Bereich relevant ist, was die Anwendbarkeit und den Einfluss der EN 14988:2017 weiter verstärkt. Falls ein Kinderhochstuhl in anderer Funktion verwendet werden kann oder muss, können zusätzliche europäische Normen herangezogen werden, was die Flexibilität der Norm unterstreicht. Insgesamt stellt die EN 14988:2017 eine unverzichtbare Grundlage für die Produktion und den Vertrieb von sicheren Kinderhochstühlen dar und trägt wesentlich zur Sicherheit und Zufriedenheit von Eltern und Betreuungspersonen bei.

The EN 14988:2017 standard presents a comprehensive framework aimed at ensuring the safety and functionality of children's high chairs. The scope of this European Standard is well-defined, focusing on free-standing high chairs designed to elevate children to dining table height, primarily used for feeding or eating purposes. It effectively covers products intended for children up to 3 years old who can sit unaided, establishing a clear target demographic and usage guideline. One of the notable strengths of this standard is its emphasis on safety requirements, which is paramount given the vulnerability of the target user group. EN 14988:2017 sets rigorous safety parameters that manufacturers must adhere to, thus providing peace of mind to parents and caregivers regarding the structural integrity and safety features of children's high chairs. These requirements encompass aspects such as stability, strength, and safety mechanisms, which collectively contribute to preventing accidents and ensuring safe usage during meal times. Additionally, the standard's relevance extends beyond just domestic environments, as it applies equally to non-domestic settings. This broader applicability underscores the standard's importance in various contexts, from homes to restaurants and childcare facilities, ensuring that high chairs used in public or communal spaces also meet stringent safety benchmarks. The standard also acknowledges the potential for children's high chairs to serve multiple functions. It stipulates that if a high chair can be converted for other uses, additional European Standards may apply. This consideration highlights the evolving nature of product design and functionality, encouraging manufacturers to innovate while ensuring compliance with necessary safety regulations. In summary, EN 14988:2017 stands out as a critical standard in the realm of children's high chairs, outlining essential requirements and test methods that safeguard the well-being of young children during feeding. Its carefully structured scope, robust safety parameters, and broad domain applicability make it an invaluable resource for manufacturers and caregivers alike.

SIST EN 14988:2017은 아동용 하이체어에 대한 안전 요구 사항 및 시험 방법을 규정한 유럽 표준입니다. 이 표준의 적용 범위는 주로 3세 이하의 어린이들이 독립적으로 앉을 수 있는 능력을 가진 경우에 해당하며, 어린이들이 식사하기 위해 식탁 높이로 올리는 역할을 하는 하이체어에 중점을 둡니다. 가정용 및 비가정용 사용을 포함하여 특정 의료 목적의 하이체어를 제외한 모든 아동용 하이체어에 적용됩니다. 이 표준의 강점 중 하나는 아동의 안전성을 최우선으로 고려한 점입니다. 하이체어가 제공해야 할 필수 안전 기준을 명확하게 설정하고, 이를 통해 어린이들이 안전하게 식사를 할 수 있는 환경을 제공합니다. 또한, 시험 방법을 명세하여 제조업체들이 제품의 안전성을 검증할 수 있도록 돕습니다. SIST EN 14988:2017의 관련성은 현재 아동 제품의 안전성이 중요시되는 사회에서 더욱 강조됩니다. 소비자들이 아동용 하이체어를 선택할 때 신뢰할 수 있는 기준이 필요한 만큼, 이 표준은 제조업체들이 시장에서의 경쟁력을 유지하는 데 필수적인 역할을 합니다. 추가적으로, 하이체어가 다른 기능으로 전환될 수 있는 경우에는 관련 유럽 표준을 준수해야 한다는 점도 중요한 요소로 작용합니다. 결론적으로, SIST EN 14988:2017은 아동용 하이체어의 안전성을 보장하고, 제조사와 소비자 모두에게 신뢰할 수 있는 기준을 제공하는 매우 중요한 문서로 볼 수 있습니다.

La norme SIST EN 14988:2017 fixe des exigences de sécurité essentielles pour les chaises hautes pour enfants, permettant ainsi de garantir un environnement sûr lors des repas pour les enfants jusqu'à 3 ans capables de s'asseoir de manière autonome. Son champ d'application couvre les chaises hautes autonomes destinées à un usage domestique et non domestique, excluant cependant les modèles spéciaux conçus à des fins médicales. Les points forts de cette norme résident dans sa capacité à établir des critères clairs pour la sécurité et la fonctionnalité des chaises hautes. Les méthodes d'essai incluses dans la norme permettent de vérifier la conformité des produits aux exigences définies, assurant ainsi que les chaises hautes minimisent les risques de chute et d'autres accidents lors de leur utilisation. De plus, en intégrant des exigences concernant la stabilité, la résistance, et la durabilité des matériaux utilisés, la norme offre une protection supplémentaire aux enfants. La pertinence de la norme EN 14988:2017 est indéniable dans le contexte actuel où la sécurité des produits destinés aux enfants est primordiale. Avec l’augmentation de la sensibilisation des parents aux normes de sécurité, cette norme répond à une demande cruciale sur le marché des articles pour enfants et sert de référence pour les fabricants souhaitant garantir la qualité de leurs produits. En résumé, la norme SIST EN 14988:2017 est un document fondamental qui propose des exigences robustes et des méthodes de test fiables, contribuant ainsi à un standard élevé de sécurité pour les chaises hautes destinées aux jeunes enfants.
