Die Norm EN 12790:2009 ist ein bedeutendes Dokument, das spezifische Sicherheitsanforderungen und Prüfmethoden für Liegewiegen festlegt, die für Kinder mit einem Gewicht von bis zu 9 kg oder für solche, die nicht selbständig sitzen können, bestimmt sind. Der Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm ist klar umrissen und bietet eine wesentliche Grundlage für die Sicherheit von Kindermöbelartikeln, insbesondere in der Gestaltung und Nutzung von Liegekrippen. Eine der Stärken dieser Norm liegt in der detaillierten Beschreibung der erforderlichen Sicherheitsmerkmale, die sicherstellen, dass die Produkte sowohl für die Benutzer als auch für die Eltern unbedenklich sind. Durch die vorgeschriebenen Prüfmethoden wird die Gefahr von Unfällen reduziert, was für die Zielgruppe von höchster Relevanz ist. Zudem schließt die Norm bestimmte Produktkategorien, wie beispielsweise Wippen, aus, was die Klarheit und Anwendbarkeit erhöht. Ein weiterer bemerkenswerter Aspekt ist die Berücksichtigung von Autositzen, die gemäß der ECE 44-Norm als Liegewiegen verwendet werden können. Dies zeigt den umfassenden Ansatz der Norm, um moderne, multifunktionale Produkte abzudecken und gleichzeitig die Sicherheitsstandards zu wahren. Besonders wichtig ist die Verpflichtung zur Einhaltung relevanter europäischer Standards, wenn eine Liegewiege mehrere Funktionen hat oder in ein anderes Produkt umgewandelt werden kann. Diese Flexibilität fördert Innovationen im Design von Kindermöbelartikeln und gewährleistet dennoch die Einhaltung strenger Sicherheitskriterien. Insgesamt bietet die EN 12790:2009 wertvolle Leitlinien für Hersteller und Verbraucher gleichermaßen. Ihre Relevanz im Hinblick auf die Sicherheit von Liegekrippen und verwandten Produkten ist unbestreitbar, und die Norm ist ein unverzichtbares Werkzeug zur Gewährleistung eines sicheren Umfelds für Kleinkinder.
EN 12790:2009は、子供用およびケア用品に関する重要な標準であり、「リクライニングクレードル」に特化しています。この標準は、重さ9kgまでの子供や自力で座れない子供を対象とした固定式または折りたたみ式のリクライニングクレードルについての安全要件とその試験方法を規定しています。 この標準の範囲は広く、ECE 44に準拠した自動車シートが製造者の指示に従ってリクライニングクレードルとして使用できる場合にも適用されます。この柔軟性は、様々な使用シーンにおいて安全性を確保するための特別な配慮がなされていることを示しています。 また、EN 12790:2009は、リクライニングクレードルがスイングとして使用される場合には適用されないことを明確に示しています。このように、標準は使用目的をしっかりと区別し、適切な安全基準を配慮している点が評価されます。 さらに、リクライニングクレードルが複数の機能を有したり、他の機能に変換できる場合には、関連する欧州標準が適用されることが明記されています（附属書B参照）。これは、消費者が多目的に使用できる製品に対する安全性を確保するための重要な要素です。 全体として、EN 12790:2009は、子供の安全を最優先に考えた、具体的で合理的な基準を提供しています。この標準に基づく製品は、高い安全性と、多様な使用ニーズへの対応力を兼ね備えているため、業界における信頼性を高める一助となるでしょう。
The EN 12790:2009 standard provides essential safety requirements and testing protocols specifically designed for reclined cradles used by infants weighing up to 9 kg, or those who cannot sit up independently. This standard is crucial in ensuring a high level of safety for a variety of child use and care articles, particularly fixed or folding reclined cradles. One of the key strengths of this standard lies in its comprehensive approach to safety. By detailing specific test methods, EN 12790:2009 helps manufacturers establish and maintain stringent safety measures, thus minimizing risks to infants during their use. The inclusion of compliance guidelines for car seats, as stipulated in ECE 44, further extends the relevance of this standard, offering parents and manufacturers clarity regarding multi-functional products. Additionally, the standard's delineation of scope enhances its utility. By explicitly stating that it does not apply to reclined cradles used as swings, it provides clear boundaries within which manufacturers must operate. This specificity helps to eliminate confusion regarding the applicability of safety regulations across varied product designs. The relevance of EN 12790:2009 extends beyond compliance; it actively contributes to a culture of safety within the child care industry. As manufacturers develop products adhering to these established guidelines, they play a vital role in minimizing potential hazards for infants. Furthermore, the standard’s provisions for products that transition between multiple functions allow for adaptability in design while still invoking the necessary safety protocols. In summary, the EN 12790:2009 standard represents a pivotal framework for ensuring the safety of reclined cradles and similar child care products. Its rigorous safety requirements and well-defined scope foster both innovation and responsibility among manufacturers, ultimately protecting one of society's most vulnerable populations-infants.
La norme SIST EN 12790:2009 est un document essentiel qui établit des exigences de sécurité précises pour les articles de puériculture, en particulier les berceaux inclinés destinés aux enfants pesant jusqu'à 9 kg ou ceux qui ne peuvent pas s'asseoir sans assistance. L'application de cette norme garantit que ces produits respectent des critères de sécurité rigoureux, contribuant ainsi à protéger les plus vulnérables. Parmi les forces notables de cette norme, on trouve la clarté des méthodes d'essai fournies, qui permettent aux fabricants de valider la conformité de leurs produits. Cette exigence de conformité est cruciale pour inspirer confiance aux consommateurs, en assurant que chaque berceau incliné commercialisé sur le marché répond à des normes de sécurité élevées. De plus, la norme étend son champ d'application aux sièges auto conformes à la norme ECE 44, à condition qu’ils puissent également servir de berceaux inclinés selon les instructions du fabricant, offrant ainsi une flexibilité appréciée aux parents. Cependant, cette norme exclut les berceaux inclinés utilisés comme balancelles, ce qui peut sembler limitatif. Néanmoins, cela souligne l'importance de la spécificité dans les exigences de sécurité, en veillant à ce que chaque type d’utilisation soit correctement adressé par la réglementation en vigueur. La norme SIST EN 12790:2009 est donc extrêmement pertinente dans le contexte actuel, où la sécurité des enfants reste une priorité primordiale. Son adoption généralisée par les fabricants et la conformité aux normes européennes fournissent une assurance précieuse aux parents et gardiens d'enfants, favorisant ainsi un environnement plus sûr pour les tout-petits.
SIST EN 12790:2009 표준은 아기용품과 돌봄 기구에 대한 안전 요구 사항을 규정하고 있으며, 특히 아기가 스스로 앉을 수 없는 경우에 적합한 고정형 또는 접이식 평평한 요람을 다룹니다. 이 표준은 최대 9kg의 체중을 가진 아기를 위한 것으로, 아기의 안전과 편안함을 보장하는 데 중점을 두고 있습니다. 이 표준의 주요 강점 중 하나는 다양한 테스트 방법을 통해 요구되는 안전 기준을 구체적으로 명시하고 있다는 점입니다. 이를 통해 제조업체는 아기 요람을 설계하고 제작할 때 이 기준을 준수하도록 촉구하며, 소비자들은 구매 시 제품의 안전성을 더 확실히 신뢰할 수 있습니다. 또한, ECE 44 규정을 준수하는 자동차 시트도 이 표준의 적용을 받을 수 있어, 아기의 이동 시에도 안전성을 높이는 역할을 합니다. 또한, SIST EN 12790:2009는 끼임이나 부상의 위험을 줄이기 위한 요소에 대한 명확한 지침을 제공하여 안전한 아기 돌봄 환경을 조성하는 데 기여합니다. 그러나 스윙으로 사용되지 않는 요람에 대한 적용의 배제와 같은 면밀한 규정은 사용자에게 보다 정확한 기대를 가능하게 합니다. 결론적으로, 이 표준은 아기 요람의 설계와 사용에 있어 안전성과 기능성을 높이는 데 기여하며, 유럽 전역에서 아기 돌봄 제품의 안전 기준을 통일하는 방향으로 나아가고 있습니다. 그 결과로, 부모 및 보호자들은 아기의 안전을 최우선으로 생각하며 고품질의 아기 용품을 선택할 수 있게 됩니다.
