Child care articles - Soother holder - Safety requirements and test methods
This document specifies safety requirements relating to materials, construction, performance, packaging and labelling of soother holders.
NOTE 1 See B.1.
It includes test methods for the mechanical and chemical requirements specified.
This document covers products for children from birth to 36 months of age, alike the soothers to which these items are connected to.
This document is intended to provide safety requirements for soother holders. All products that allow the attachment of a soother intended for babies and young children to any other object are included in the scope. The soother holder has a holding device at one end for the soother, a garment fastener that attaches to any other product, e.g. the child’s garment and a connecting device linking these parts. The safety requirements of products that a soother holder attaches to are not considered in this standard.
Where a soother holder is considered to have significant play value, the soother holder is expected to meet the safety requirements for toys as stated in the Toy Directive 2009/48/EC [6] in addition to those in this document.
NOTE 2 See B.2.
Artikel für Säuglinge und Kleinkinder - Schnullerhalter - Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Dieses Dokument legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen an Werkstoffe, Ausführung, Leistungsmerkmale, Verpackung und Kennzeichnung von Schnullerhaltern fest.
ANMERKUNG 1 Siehe B.1.
Es enthält Prüfverfahren für die festgelegten mechanischen und chemischen Anforderungen.
Dieses Dokument gilt für Produkte für Kinder ab der Geburt bis zu einem Alter von 36 Monaten, ähnlich wie die Schnuller, mit denen diese Produkte verbunden sind.
Dieses Dokument soll sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen an Schnullerhalter festlegen. Jedes Produkt, das die Befestigung eines für Säuglinge und Kleinkinder vorgesehenen Schnullers an einem beliebigen weiteren Gegenstand ermöglicht, ist in dem Anwendungsbereich erfasst. Der Schnullerhalter verfügt an je einem Ende über eine Halterung für den Schnuller, eine Befestigung am Kleidungsstück zum Anbringen an einem beliebigen anderen Produkt, z. B. an der Kleidung des Kindes, sowie ein Verbindungselement, das diese Teile verbindet. Die sicherheitstechnischen Anforderungen von Produkten, an denen ein Schnullerhalter befestigt wird, werden in dieser Norm nicht berücksichtigt.
Wenn einem Schnullerhalter ein bedeutender Spielwert zugeordnet wird, wird erwartet, dass der Schnullerhalter den sicherheitstechnischen Anforderungen an Spielzeug nach den Angaben in der Richtlinie 2009/48/EG über Spielzeug [6] ergänzend zu den in diesem Dokument angegebenen entspricht.
ANMERKUNG 2 Siehe B.2.
Articles de puériculture - Attache-sucette - Exigences de sécurité et méthodes d’essai
Le présent document spécifie les exigences de sécurité relatives aux matériaux, à la construction, aux performances, à l’emballage et à l’étiquetage des attaches-sucettes.
NOTE 1 Voir en B.1.
Il comprend des méthodes d’essai portant sur les exigences mécaniques et chimiques spécifiées.
Le présent document couvre les produits destinés aux enfants de la naissance à 36 mois, ainsi que les sucettes auxquelles ces articles sont attachés.
Le présent document est destiné à fournir des exigences de sécurité pour les attaches-sucettes. Tous les produits permettant de fixer une sucette pour nourrissons et jeunes enfants à un autre objet entrent dans le domaine d’application du présent document. L’attache-sucette est munie, d’un côté, d’un dispositif de fixation pour la sucette et, de l’autre, d’une fixation côté vêtement qui s’attache à tout autre produit (par exemple le vêtement de l’enfant), ainsi que d’un dispositif de raccordement reliant ces parties. Les exigences de sécurité des produits auxquels une attache-sucette est fixée ne sont pas prises en compte dans la présente norme.
Si une attache-sucette est considérée comme ayant une valeur ludique significative, elle est censée satisfaire aux exigences de sécurité essentielles relatives aux jouets visées dans la Directive « Jouets » (2009/48/CE) [6] en plus des exigences spécifiées dans le présent document.

European foreword
This document (prEN 12586:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 252 “Child care
articles”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 12586:2007+A1:2011.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
— The standard has been completely renewed and a new structure was given. A whole series of new
aspects had to be considered.
— The list of materials used currently for soother holders is wider than the list in the former edition,
therefore additional materials have been included (silicone, rubber, TPE, leather, resin-bonded
materials).
— Introduction: Double testing should be avoided for environmental protection reasons. Therefore,
substances regulated by REACH like Phthalates, Nickel are not included any more.
— 7.3: The list of chemical elements to be tested for migration of certain elements has been enlarged
to cover 19 elements in accordance to last amendment of Directive 2009/48/EC.
— 7.4: Colour fastness test was change
