Amend 8.22 as follows:
8.22 Dynamic strength (see 4.15.1.2 and 4.15.6.2)
8.22.1 Principle
A load is secured to the toy, and articulated arms with the elbow joints in a downward position are attached to
the steering wheel or handlebars if the toy is so equipped. The toy is driven three times into a non-resilient
step, and it is then examined whether the toy still conforms to the relevant requirement of this standard.
8.22.2 Loads
Loads as specified in Figure 8.22 equipped with two articulated arms and a removable cushion with straps
shall be used.
For toys intended for children over 36 months of age, use a load A with a mass of 50 kg ± 0,5 kg.
For toys labelled as unsuitable for children over 36 months of age, use a load B with a mass of 25 kg ± 0,2 kg
The mass of each articulated arm shall be 2 kg ± 0,02 kg.
The mass of the cushion including sand and straps shall be 0,5 kg ± 0,01 kg.
The masses of the two articulated arms and the cushion are added to the two loads giving a nominal mass of
54,5 kg for load A and 29,5 kg for load B.
The articulated arms are attached with spherical joints to the top element diametrically opposite each other,
allowing the arms to be moved in any direction. The joints at the ”elbows” move in one direction and shall be
capable of being locked. The joints at the ”wrists” move in two directions and shall be capable of being locked.
