Overview
EN 13209-2:2015 (CEN) - Child use and care articles: Baby carriers - Part 2: Soft carrier - defines safety requirements and test methods for soft baby carriers without a framed support that incorporate integral leg openings and are worn on the carer’s torso. The standard covers carriers intended for hands‑free use while standing or walking and applies to products for children up to a maximum weight of 15 kg. Where a carrier has additional functions not covered here, other relevant European standards should be consulted.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and definitions: Clarifies what constitutes a soft carrier (no frame, integral leg openings) and carer attachment systems (straps, fastenings).
- Test equipment & setup: Prescribes test fixtures and tools such as a 120 ±2 mm diameter test sphere (2.27 kg), a small parts cylinder, a 0.4 ±0.02 mm feeler gauge, a rigid test torso mounted to oscillate 120 ±5 mm at 2 ±0.2 Hz, and test masses (9 kg and 15 kg sand bags).
- General test conditions: Samples tested fully assembled, conditioned by washing/drying twice per manufacturer’s instructions, and subject to stated tolerances (force ±5%, mass ±1%, dimensions ±1 mm, etc.).
- Chemical hazards: Materials accessible to a child’s mouth must meet EN 71-3 migration limits for certain elements.
- Thermal hazards: Flammability requirements use EN 71-2 methods - no surface flash and maximum flame spread rate (see standard).
- Mechanical hazards: Detailed procedures for choking/ingestion (small parts tests, torque and tension tests), entanglement, falling hazards, head/neck support and protection, attachment system slippage, and durability testing.
- Packaging & suffocation: Requirements to avoid suffocation hazards from packaging materials.
- Product information: Requirements for marking, instructions for use, warnings and purchase information.
Applications and who uses this standard
- Manufacturers and product designers: to design compliant soft baby carriers and specify materials, fastening systems and labelling.
- Testing laboratories and conformity assessors: to perform required mechanical, chemical and flammability tests using specified equipment and protocols.
- Regulatory bodies and retailers: to evaluate product safety and ensure compliance before market placement.
- Standards committees and consultants: for harmonization, risk assessment and guidance on supplemental standards.
