Izdelki za otroke - Otroški vozički - Varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode
Ta evropski standard določa varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode za otroške vozičke, namenjene prevozu enega ali več otrok, ki tehtajo do 15 kg, pri čemer lahko na morebitno pritrjeno ploščad stopi otrok, ki tehta do 20 kg. Ta evropski standard ne zajema igrač, nakupovalnih vozičkov, opreme za nošenje otroka, opremljene s kolesi, otroških vozičkov, ki jih poganja motor, in vozičkov, namenjenih otrokom s posebnimi potrebami. Kadar obstajajo dodatni izdelki, ki se pritrdijo na otroški voziček, naj bi se izvedla analiza nevarnosti in tveganj, da se opredelijo vse morebitne nevarnosti. Kadar ima otroški voziček ali kateri koli del otroškega vozička več funkcij ali ga je mogoče spremeniti v drugo funkcijo, mora biti skladen z ustreznim standardom.

EN 1888:2012 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the safety requirements and test methods for wheeled child conveyances, designed for the carriage of one or more children, up to 15 kg each and additional 20 kg on any integrated platform on which a child can stand. This European Standard does not cover toys, shopping trolleys; baby carriers fitted with wheels; wheeled child conveyances propelled by a motor and wheeled child conveyances designed for children with special needs. Where additional products are designed to be attached to a wheeled child conveyance, a hazard and risk analysis should be undertaken to identify any potential hazards. Where a wheeled child conveyance or any part of the wheeled child conveyance has several functions or can be converted into another function it shall comply with the relevant standards. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
