(E) 5 1 Scope This part of EN 716 specifies test methods for assessing the safety of children's cots and folding cots for domestic use. It applies to children’s cots and folding cots with an internal length greater than 900 mm but not more than 1 400 mm. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 2439:2000, Flexible cellular polymeric materials - Determination of hardness (indentation technique) (ISO 2439:1997, including Technical Corrigendum 1:1998) ISO 7619-2, Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of indentation hardness — Part 2: IRHD pocket meter method 3 General test conditions 3.1 Preliminary preparation The tests are designed to be applied to a cot that is fully assembled and ready for use. The test unit shall be stored in indoor ambient conditions for at least one week immediately prior to testing. Any deviation from this procedure shall be stated in the test report. Before testing, any fabrics intended to be removable shall be cleaned or washed twice in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. If no instructions are supplied, the manner of washing/cleaning shall be stated in the test report. The tests shall be carried out under indoor ambient conditions, but if during a test the atmospheric temperature is outside the range 15 °C to 25 °C, the maximum and/or minimum temperature shall be recorded in the test report. The cot shall be tested as delivered. If the cot is a knock down type, it shall be assembled according to the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the cot. If the cot can be assembled, combined or adjusted in different ways, the most adverse combination shall be used for each test. Knock-down fittings shall be tightened before testing. Further re-tightening shall not take place unless this is specifically required by the manufacturer. In the case of designs not catered for in the test procedures, the tests shall be carried out as far as possible as described, and a list made of the deviations from the test procedures. 3.2 Test equipment Unless otherwise specified, the tests may be applied by any suitable device because results are dependent only upon correctly applied forces and loads and not upon the apparatus. SIST EN 716-2:2008+A1:2013
EN 716-2:2008+A1:2013 (E) 6 The equipment shall not inhibit the deformation of the cot during testing. It shall be able to move so that it can follow the deformation of the cot during testing, so that the loads are always applied at the specified point and in the specified direction. All loading pads shall be capable of pivoting in relation to the direction of the applied force. The pivot point shall be as close as practically possible to the load surface.
3.3 Application of forces The forces in the static load tests shall be applied sufficiently slowly enough to ensure that negligible dynamic force is applied. The forces in durability tests shall be applied at a rate to ensure that excessive heating does not occur. 3.4 Tolerances Unless otherwise stated, the following tolerances apply: Forces:
±
5 % of the nominal force; Masses:
±
0,5 % of the nominal mass; Dimensions: ±
1,0 mm of the nominal dimension; Angles:
±
2° of the nominal angle; Positioning of loading pads: ± 5 mm; Duration of forces: ( 2 ± 1) s for durability tests
(10 ± 2) s for static load tests, including tension, torque and bite tests. The tests are described in terms of the application of forces. Masses can, however, be used. The relationship 10 N = 1 kg shall be used for this purpose.
3.5 Test sequence The tests shall be carried out in the order laid down in this standard and on the same cot. 3.6 Prevention of movement during test If the cot tends to slide or roll during the tests specified in clause 5, it shall be restrained by stops (4.6).
4 Test apparatus 4.1 Measuring probes Probes made of plastics or other hard, smooth material mounted on a force-measuring device.
There shall be one probe with a diameter of 7 mm (-0,1/+0 mm), see Figure 1a. There shall be five probes with an angle of 30° ±

In the fully closed position the teeth shall overlap each other by (1 ± 0,1) mm. The outer most corners of the teeth shall have a radius of (0,3 ± 0,1) mm. The teeth shall be mounted so as to pivot about a point (50 ± 1) mm from the rear most pair of teeth and positioned so that when closed the centre lines of the two pairs of teeth are parallel to each other. The bite tester shall be equipped with a stop to prevent the distance between the teeth from exceeding (28 ± 1) mm when fully opened. The closing force of the teeth shall be set at (50 ± 5) N. The bite tester shall be provided with a guide to prevent items entering further into the fully opened jaws by more than (17 ± 1) mm.

5 Test procedures 5.1 Assembly and inspection Assemble the cot in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction. Prior to the test, inspect the cot visually for defects. Tighten all knock-down fittings. After testing, check where appropriate: whether there are sharp edges or burrs, whether the functions of the locking mechanisms are impaired, whether the functions of the cot are impaired, whether the sizes of the openings have changed so that they present a safety hazard, if relevant, whether the stability of the cot has changed.

EN 716-2:2008+A1:2013 (E) 16 ! 5.2 Stability - test The cot shall be tested without mattress unless the mattress is an integral part of the cot. Position the cot on the floor (4.7) with the legs against the stops (4.6). The tilting tendencies shall not be restrained. Adjust the cot base to its highest position. Attach the test mass (4.10) on the inside at the centre of the upper edge of the cot side/end so that its centre of gravity is 50 mm below the upper edge of the cot side/end (Figure 13). At the same side/end, apply a force of 30 N horizontally outwards at the centre of the upper edge of the cot side/end. Record whether the cot overturns. Dimensions in millimetres
