3.4 waist belt strap, which when fastened, surrounds the child's waist. 3.5 opening space between structural members or components 3.6 shear and squeeze points gaps which can cause harm to parts of the body and which occur when two parts close together or open during relative movements

mechanism composed by a locking device and one or more operating devices. An action deactivates the locking devices, e.g. pushing a button, pressing a lever or turning a knob
4 Materials 4.1 Materials and surfaces
Materials shall be visually clean and free of infestation.
The manufacturer/importer/retailer shall provide verification that accessible materials and surfaces meet the relevant requirements of EN 71-3. 5 Construction 5.1 General The requirements apply to a high chair assembled and erected in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. If parts of the high chair are designed to be removable (e.g. a tray or a footrest), the requirements apply to the high chair with and without these part(s). Connecting screws for direct fastening, e.g. self tapping screws, shall not be used for the assembly of any component that is designed to be removed or loosened when dismantling the high chair for the purpose of transportation or storage.
Exposed edges and protruding parts shall be rounded or chamfered and free from burrs and sharp edges. 5.2 Holes, gaps and openings With the exception of all parts of the high chair below the under-surface of the seat, the integral harness and the waist belt, there shall be no holes, gaps or openings between 7 mm and 12 mm accessible when the child is seated, which are deeper than 10 mm, when tested in accordance with EN 14988-2:2006, clause 6.6.2.

To avoid the risk of shearing and crushing, shear and compression points shall be avoided. If shear and compression points cannot be eliminated for functional reasons, then the conditions for individual cases in 5.3.1, 5.3.2 and 5.3.3 shall be applied.

Unintentional movement is ruled out if: a) locking mechanism is automatically engaged and the load has a closing effect on the locking mechanism; or b) at least two independent locking mechanisms are provided for the movable part or system; or c) locking mechanisms under load cannot be released unintentionally. When the product has been deployed for use, there shall be no accessible squeeze
