Introduction
This Technical Report contains replies to requests for interpretation and clarifications with regard to
the understanding of clauses in the standards elaborated within the CEN/TC 252. The replies concern
those requests which have resulted in an interpretation or the decision that no action is necessary.
An interpretation does not have the same status as the text of the standard, nor can it overrule the text
of the standard. However, following an interpretation should give assurance that the relevant clause of
the standard has been correctly applied. An interpretation will only be regarded as a clarification of the
meaning of the standard.
a) Disclaimer:
The interpretations and clarifications have been derived by expert groups of CEN/TC 252. The
information contained herein is for guidance only and does not reflect the formal approval by CEN or
CEN member bodies. It should be noted that the interpretations are neither part of any standard nor
have been referenced in the Official Journal of the European Union.
b) Requests for interpretation:
Requests for interpretations may be submitted by a CEN member body through its national committee
or by a CEN/TC 252 liaison (but not directly by an individual or a company) – in accordance with the
interpretation protocols agreed by CEN/TC 252. The requests are then channelled to the relevant
CEN/TC 252 working group which will deal with the request.
A request for an interpretation may lead to:
1) an interpretation of the standard:
this should reflect a reasonable interpretation of how the standard should be used, while taking
into account:
i) the wording of the standard;
ii) the rationale of the standard;
iii) the history of the standard;
2) a no-action decision:
this is applicable when it is agreed that the standard appropriately specifies how a child care article
should be assessed;
3) a proposal for an amendment of the standard:
this is applicable when it is agreed that the standard is deficient in some way.
NOTE Interpretations are published in CEN/TR 16411, which will be updated on a regular basis.
Proposals for amendments will be progressed as new work item proposals in accordance with CEN
rules.
c) Answers to requests for interpretations:
Since requests for interpretations are submitted through a CEN member body, it is assumed that the
member body will keep itself informed about decisions concerning the request and its progress and will
itself inform the originator of the request as appropriate.

In certain designs of baby walking frames (e.g. non-castor wheels in the
back), after the sideways step test in accordance with 6.6.2.3, the product
stops with only one front wheel off the platform and with the rear wheels
almost in the initial position (see picture).

the product or of its wheels.
Is the intention of the standard to perform the tip over test starting from
the position in which the product has stopped after the step test in 6.6.2.3
(see picture above) or is it correct to move the product between 6.6.2.3
and 6.6.3.2 so that both the front and the rear wheels on one side are
always off the platform?
