Child care articles - General safety guidelines - Part 1: Safety philosophy and safety assessment
This Technical Report, contains the general safety philosophy and a guideline on safety assessment that experts are recommended to use when drafting standards.
It also contains an Annex A with a collection of available anthropometric data and details of the abilities of children from birth to 48 months of age.
The general safety philosophy given in this part is based on the principle that child use and care articles should be designed to be safe.
Children with special needs have not been taken into account while drafting these guidelines. ISO/IEC Guide 71 can be consulted to ascertain any further requirements to address the hazards and risks associated with children with special needs.
These guidelines do not cover all types of hazards and risks, such as inappropriate use of products, inadequate supervision of children and products used in a non-domestic situation.
Attention is drawn to the importance of ensuring that all other potential hazards relevant to the product are fully addressed e.g. hygiene, the effects of electrical power etc., where other safety standards may apply.
Artikel für Säuglinge und Kleinkinder - Sicherheitsleitfaden - Teil 1: Sicherheitsgrundsätze und Sicherheitsbeurteilung
Dieser Technische Report enthält die allgemeinen Sicherheitsgrundsätze und einen Leitfaden zur Sicher¬heitsbeurteilung, die Experten zur Verwendung bei der Ausarbeitung von Normen empfohlen werden.
Er enthält auch einen Anhang A mit einer Sammlung verfügbarer anthropometrischer Daten und Einzelheiten zu den Fähigkeiten von Kindern ab der Geburt bis zu einem Alter von 48 Monaten.
Die allgemeinen Sicherheitsgrundsätze in diesem Teil basieren auf dem Grundsatz, dass Artikel für Säuglinge und Kleinkinder so ausgelegt sein sollten, dass sie sicher sind.
Kinder mit besonderen Bedürfnissen wurden bei der Ausarbeitung dieser Sicherheitsleitlinien nicht berück¬sichtigt. ISO/IEC Guide 71 kann konsultiert werden, um weitere Anforderungen, die sich durch Gefahren und Risiken in Zusammenhang mit Kindern mit besonderen Bedürfnissen ergeben, zu ermitteln.
Diese Richtlinien decken nicht alle Arten von Gefahren und Risiken ab, wie etwa eine unangemessene Verwendung von Produkten, eine unzureichende Betreuung von Kindern und Produkten, die in einer nicht-häuslichen Situation verwendet werden.
Es wird auf die Wichtigkeit hingewiesen, sicherzustellen, dass alle anderen potenziellen Gefahren, die für das Produkt relevant sind, z. B. Hygiene, die Auswirkungen von elektrischem Strom usw., berücksichtigt werden, für die andere Sicherheitsnormen gelten können.

Izdelki za otroke - Smernice o splošni varnosti - 1. del: Varnostna načela in ocena varnosti
To tehnično poročilo zajema filozofijo splošne varnosti in smernice o oceni varnosti, ki se priporočajo strokovnjakom pri sestavljanju standardov.
Zajema tudi dodatek A z zbirko razpoložljivih antropometričnih podatkov in podrobnosti o sposobnosti otrok od rojstva do starosti 48 mesecev.
Filozofija splošne varnosti iz tega dela temelji na načelu, da naj bi bili izdelki za otroke zasnovani tako, da so varni.
Pri sestavi teh smernic niso bili upoštevani otroci s posebnimi potrebami. Vodilo ISO/IEC 71 je mogoče uporabiti za opredelitev morebitnih dodatnih zahtev za obravnavo nevarnosti in tveganj, povezanih z otroki s posebnimi potrebami.
Te smernice ne obravnavajo vseh vrst nevarnosti in tveganj, kot so neprimerna uporaba izdelkov, nezadosten nadzor nad otroki ter izdelki, ki se ne uporabljajo doma.
Opozoriti je treba na pomembnost zagotavljanja, da so vse druge morebitne nevarnosti, ki se nanašajo na izdelek, v celoti obravnavane, npr. higiena, vplivi električnega toka itd., pri čemer se lahko uporabljajo drugi varnostni standardi.

European foreword
This document (CEN/TR 13387-1:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 252 “Child
care articles”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes CEN/TR 13387-1:2015.
CEN/TR 13387 comprises the following five parts:
— Safety philosophy and safety assessment (CEN/TR 13387-1);
— Chemical hazards (CEN/TR 13387-2);
— Mechanical hazards (CEN/TR 13387-3);
— Thermal hazards (CEN/TR 13387-4);
— Product information (CEN/TR 13387-5).
Introduction
This document is a revision of CR 13387 first published in 1999. It is a non-normative CEN publication
which provides guidance information on common hazards that should be taken into consideration
when developing safety standards for child care articles.
A general safety philosophy and safety assessment methodology is given in Part 1 of these guidelines
together with a collection of anthropometric data.
Chemical hazards are addressed in Part 2. The chemical risk associated with the use of materials for the
construction, coating and/or packaging of child care articles that may affect children’s health are
considered.
Mechanical hazards are addressed in Part 3. “Mechanical hazard” is a general designation for physical
factors which may give rise to injury due to the mechanical properties of products or parts of products.
Thermal hazards are addressed in Part 4. “Thermal hazards” include hazards associated with
flammability and the burning characteristics of materials, contact with hot and cold surfaces, liquids
and food, contact with flames, contact with products that melt on heating and overheating or exposure
of a child to very low and very high temperatures.
Product information which should be supplied with a child care article is addressed in Part 5. “Product
information” covers all the documentation and information that should be supplied to ensure the safe
use of the product and also the safety of the child using the product.
These guidelines deal with hazards that are common to child care articles. They have been drawn-up by
a working group of experts set up by CEN TC 252 with the prime objective of harmonizing the approach
to hazard and risk assessment and injury prevention. The guidelines give recommendations on
preventive safety measures to avoid injuries that could be caused by child care articles. If the child care
article has a protective function, this should be effective; additionally the product itself should cause no
injury to the child.
The standards being drafted by CEN/TC 252 are for child care articles intended for children from birth
to 48 months of age who form a very vulnerable group in society. Up to 18 months of age the
development of the brain, senses, motoric abilities and knowledge takes place through the combined
use of sensory and motor skills, i.e. children learn to see, hear, taste, smell and feel. Their movements
are aimed at achieving familiarity with their environment. As children become older they achieve
increased muscular control and balance. Even up to 48 months of age children are unpredictable in
their behaviour. Special consideration should be given to the fact that these children cannot understand
how to avoid risks and thus are involuntarily exposed to them.
Child care articles constitute a group with large variations between the different products. However
many safety hazards associated with this diverse group of products are very similar. These guidelines
identify many of these safety hazards and give details that enable similar safety principles to be applied
to the drafting of standards across the group of products.
The information given in these guidelines reflects the state of the art at publication. Standards and
regulations will continuously be developed. Other sources may also provide useful information for the
