Overview

ISO/TS 24929-5:2026 sets out best practices for preparing product information requirements within child care article standards. Developed by ISO Technical Committee 310, this technical specification specifies how critical warnings, instructions, markings, and related product details should be presented to ensure clarity, accessibility, and safety for users. Its primary aim is to minimize safety risks by establishing consistent and effective communication through product information. An informative annex provides background rationales for these requirements, highlighting the importance of clear messaging in preventing foreseeable misuse and hazards.

Key Topics

• Product Information Format: Information must be clear, unambiguous, easily legible, and in the official language(s) where the product is sold. This includes printed and digital materials, warnings, and markings.
• Markings and Identification:
  • Permanent attachment to product or packaging.
  • Essential details such as manufacturer identity, product identification, and standard references.
  • Markings must not obstruct use or create new risks; suffocation warnings required for risky packaging.
• Legibility and Visibility Standards:
  • Use of high-contrast colors and legible sans-serif fonts.
  • Font height and visibility requirements for warning words (e.g., WARNING in caps of minimum specified size).
  • Avoidance of color combinations problematic for those with vision deficiencies.
• Purchase Information:
  • Must enable purchasers to make informed choices (e.g., age, weight, compatibility) at physical or online points of sale.
• Instructions for Use:
  • Comprehensive safety, assembly, operation, and maintenance instructions.
  • Both digital and printed forms required upon request, and digital copies must remain available throughout product life.
  • Quick-start guides are mandatory if full printed instructions are not provided.
• Warnings:
  • Clear, concise, and prominent warning statements for critical hazards.
  • Usage information regarding age, weight, and height restrictions.

Applications

This technical specification is essential for anyone involved in the standardization, manufacturing, or design of child care articles. Its target users include:

• Standards Developers: Provides structured guidance on required safety information, helping harmonize standards across markets.
• Manufacturers and Importers: Clarifies the minimum information that must accompany child care articles for both compliance and consumer safety.
• Product Designers: Supports risk assessment, product marking, and user documentation creation, ensuring compliance and reducing liability.
• Retailers and Ecommerce: Ensures appropriate product information, including warnings and instructions, is always available at the point of sale, building trust with consumers.
• Regulatory Authorities: Facilitates evaluation of child care articles against standardized safety communication benchmarks.

Adoption of the requirements in ISO/TS 24929-5:2026 enhances user safety and legal compliance, reducing the likelihood of incidents arising from unclear or inadequate product instructions or warnings.

Related Standards

• ISO 24929 Series: ISO/TS 24929-5:2026 is part of the broader ISO 24929 series on child care articles and general safety.
• IEC/IEEE 82079-1: Referenced for general principles regarding the preparation of user instructions, offering additional guidance on structuring product information.
• International and National Child Product Safety Regulations: Alignment with ISO/TS 24929-5:2026 supports compliance with regulatory frameworks governing child care articles worldwide.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
