NOTE for CCMC: the rational shall remain inside the first
draft of Public Enquiry for share the rational of decision
taken by WG1
Rationale:
Characteristics that can make appliances attractive to children

A potentially hazardous appliance can be made attractive to children (and others) but through

the use of appropriate safety strategies, including design, guarding, and warnings and

information, the risk of injury can be minimized. However, to achieve such risk minimization, the

changing behaviors and capabilities of children need to be carefully considered. ISO/IEC Guide

50 advises that when developing or revising a standard for an appliance, the reasonably

foreseeable use by children and their interaction with it should be taken into account. This

does not negate the need for appropriate supervision of children by adults nor safety strategies

such as the safe storage of potentially hazardous appliances. The Guide notes that young

children learn by, among other processes, exploring their environment and copying the

actions of adults, older children and even media characters. While adults understand that

exploration is a process of “discovering the unknown” that involves risk, children, especially

when young, face additional risk, due to their limited risk perception and decision-making ability,

poor understanding of their own limitations and their skills-related and cognitive immaturity, all

of which impact their capacity to avoid danger. While children are capable of perceiving some

risk, they are not able to assess the risk involved in a potentially hazardous situation until they

are capable of understanding consequences (cause and effect) at around 7 to 8 years old.

From early infancy, children are driven by an inborn drive to explore. Children’s exploration

behavior can be classified in terms of basic strategies which correspond to their emerging

abilities. Since children experience a somewhat predictable sequence of physical and mental

maturation, they also employ predictable patterns of exploratory behaviour. These exploratory

behaviours can result in the child using appliances in ways that were not intended by the

manufacturer and using or interacting with appliances that are not intended for them. Children,

especially young children, can be attracted to an appliance by certain characteristics of the

appliance. Unpublished research undertaken for PROSAFE by Intertek RAM has identified

child-appealing characteristics that may be associated with household appliances .To

determine these characteristics:

− experts were consulted to verify findings and discuss the potential impact of cultural

differences;

− literature on existing knowledge and interpretation of child appealing characteristics was

reviewed to define preliminary characteristics that may be considered child appealing;

− parents (and/or carers) of children up to 14 years old were surveyed to understand from

their perspective the child appealing characteristics of appliances in the home;

− children of different ages were observed of children to determine and define the

characteristics of household appliances that children find appealing
The Intertek RAM research concluded that in relation
