Child use and care articles - Baby carriers - Part 2: Soft carrier
This European Standard specifies the safety requirements and test methods for soft carriers for children i.e. those carriers without a framed support. These soft carriers are designed to transport a child when attached to the carer's torso. Soft carriers are designed to allow the carer a hands free operation when standing and/or walking. These soft carriers are for use up to a maximum weight of 15 kg.
If the soft carrier has other functions not covered in this European Standard, reference should be made to the relevant European Standard.
Artikel für Säuglinge und Kleinkinder - Kindertragen - Teil 2: Tragen ohne Gestell
Diese Europäische Norm legt Sicherheitsanforderungen an und Prüfverfahren für Kindertragen ohne Gestell fest, d. h. jene Tragen ohne Stützrahmen. Diese Tragen ohne Gestell sind so konstruiert, dass sie ein Kind transportieren, während sie an dem Oberkörper des Erwachsenen angebracht sind. Tragen ohne Gestell sind so konstruiert, dass sie dem Erwachsenen Handfreiheit zur Ausübung von Tätigkeiten im Stehen und/oder Gehen ermöglichen. Diese Tragen ohne Gestell sind zur Nutzung mit einem Höchstgewicht von 15 kg zu verwenden.
Wenn die Trage ohne Gestell weitere Funktionen aufweist, die nicht von dieser Europäischen Norm behandelt werden, muss auf die entsprechende Europäische Norm verwiesen werden.
Articles de puériculture - Porte-enfant - Partie 2: Porte-enfant souple
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences de sécurité et les méthodes d'essai applicables aux porte-enfants souples, à savoir les porte-enfants sans armature. Ces porte-enfants souples sont conçus pour transporter l'enfant après avoir été attachés au torse d'un porteur. Ils sont conçus pour permettre au porteur de garder les mains libres lorsqu'il est debout ou qu'il marche. Ces porte-enfants souples sont destinés à être utilisés avec un poids maximal de 15 kg.
Si le porte-enfant souple a d'autres fonctions, non couvertes par la présente Norme européenne, il convient de faire référence à la Norme européenne pertinente.

Any component intended to be removable without the use of a tool shall not fit wholly within the small parts cylinder specified in 4.2 without compression and in any orientation. These requirements do not apply to paper, fabric, yarn, strings and fuzz. 8.1.2 Test methods 8.1.2.1 Assessment of child’s ability to grip components A component is considered capable of being gripped by a child if it can grip the component between its thumb and forefinger or between its teeth. If the component to be tested cannot be gripped between thumb and forefinger, establish whether it is capable of being gripped by inserting a feeler gauge (4.3) between the component and the underlying layer or body of the product at an angle between 0° and 10° from the surface using a force of (10 ± 1) N. If the gauge can be inserted more than 2 mm, the component shall be considered as capable of being gripped. If the component is grippable, affix a suitable clamp behind the component taking care not to damage the attachment mechanism or the body of the soft carrier and test in accordance with 8.1.2.2 and 8.1.2.3. 8.1.2.2 Torque test Apply a torque gradually to the component within a period of 5 s in a clockwise direction until either: a) rotation of 180° from the original position has been attained; or b) torque of 0,34 Nm is reached. The maximum rotation or required torque shall be applied for 10 s. The component shall then be allowed to return to a relaxed condition and the procedure repeated in an anticlockwise direction. Projections, parts or assemblies that are rigidly mounted on an accessible rod or shaft designed to rotate together with the projections, parts or assemblies shall be tested with the rod or shaft clamped to prevent rotation. If a component, which is attached by a screw thread, becomes loosened during the application of the required torque, continue to apply the torque until the required torque is exceeded or the component disassembles or it becomes apparent that the component will not disassemble. When using clamps and test equipment care shall be taken not to damage the attachment mechanism or body of the component. Place the component without compressing it and in any orientation in the small parts cylinder (4.2). 8.1.2.3 Tension test The tension test shall be carried out after the torque test (8.1.2.2) and on the same component as used for the torque test. Attach a suitable clamp to the component assessed as being grippable in accordance with 8.1.2.1, taking care not to damage the attachment mechanism or body of the soft carrier. Fasten the component in a tensile testing machine and apply a tensile force of up to 90 N to the component to be tested. Apply the force gradually within a period of 5 s and maintain for 10 s.
