EN 14682:2004 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 14682:2004) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 248 “Textiles and Textile products”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2006. Following the publication and implementation of this document in CEN member countries, it has been agreed by CEN TC 248 that there should be an 18 month transition period from the date of availability to allow manufacturers to develop and produce garments that conform to the standard. This period is also to allow the supply chain, from manufacturer through to the consumer, to be cleared of non-conforming garments.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
EN 14682:2004 (E) 4 Introduction The European Commission Mandate No. M/309 The Safety of Consumers: drawstrings or cords on children’s clothing, issued 9 March 2001 requested that CEN develop standards or specifications to consider cords and drawstrings on clothing intended for children up to age 14. The aim of this document is to minimise the risk of accidental entrapment by cords or drawstrings on children’s clothing taking into account: a) The child’s age. b) Normal behaviour and activities of children for their age and stage of development, for example playing in playgrounds, climbing trees, travelling by 'bus or train, ability to look after themselves, and where relevant, level of supervision. c) National accident statistics indicate that serious accidents involving cords and drawstrings on children’s clothing fall into two main groups by age of child: d) Younger Children: Entrapment of hood cords in playground equipment such as slides, resulting in fatalities. e) Older Children and Young Persons:
Entrapment of cords and strings from the waist and lower hems of garments in moving vehicles such as 'bus doors, ski lifts and bicycles resulting in severe injuries or death from being dragged along or run over by the vehicle. In addition elasticated hood or neck cords have resulted in a number of facial injuries. Children’s clothing sold in the EU is usually sold by height as the primary measurement, sometimes with age as an additional indicator. Clothing for babies (up to around 1 year of age) is generally sold by length of the baby although some countries use the baby's weight. All chest, waist, and hip measurements are secondary measurements.
