Child use and care articles - Soother holder - Safety requirements and test methods

This European Standard specifies safety requirements relating to the materials, construction, performance, packaging and labelling of soother holders (see B.1).
It includes test methods for the mechanical and chemical requirements specified.
This European Standard specifies safety requirements relating to the materials, construction, performance, packaging and labelling of soother holders (see B.1).
It includes test methods for the mechanical and chemical requirements specified.
All products that are intended to connect a soother for babies and young children with any other product are included in the scope of this European Standard.
This European Standard is intended to provide safety requirements for soother holders which are generally comprised of a strap with the holder at one end which retains the soother whilst the other end has a clasp that attaches to the child’s garment.
Where a soother holder has been classified as a toy or considered to have significant play value then the soother holder will have to meet the essential safety requirements for toys as stated in the Toy Directive (88/378/EEC) in addition to those in this European Standard. The addition of decorations or providing animal shaped fasteners should not automatically make the soother holder a toy; however the addition of a toy component to the soother holder will require that both the soother holder and the toy meet the essential safety requirements as stated in the Toy Directive. Where there is doubt concerning classification of a soother holder as a toy then advice should be sought from an EU Toy Notified Body or the Member State’s Competent Authority for toys (see B.2).

Artikel für Säuglinge und Kleinkinder- Schnullerhalter - Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren

Diese Europäischen Norm legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen an Werkstoffe, Bau, Ausführung,
Verpackung und Kennzeichnung von Schnullerhaltern fest (siehe B.1).
Sie enthält Prüfverfahren für die festgelegten mechanischen und chemischen Anforderungen.
Sämtliche Produkte, die dafür bestimmt sind, einen Schnuller für ein Baby oder Kleinkind mit einem anderen
Produkt zu verbinden, sind im Anwendungsbereich dieser Europäischen Norm erfasst.
Das Ziel dieser Europäischen Norm ist die Festlegung von Sicherheitsanforderungen an Schnullerhalter, die
üblicherweise aus einem Band bestehen, der an einem Ende die Befestigung für den Schnuller und am
anderen Ende eine Klammer hat, die am Kleidungsstück des Kindes befestigt wird.
Wenn ein Schnullerhalter als Spielzeug klassifiziert wurde oder ihm ein wesentlicher Spielwert zuzuordnen ist,
dann muss dieser Schnullerhalter zusätzlich zu den Anforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm alle
wesentlichen Sicherheitsanforderungen an Spielzeug erfüllen, die in der Spielzeug-Richtlinie (88/378/EWG)
angegeben sind. Wenn Verzierungen vorhanden oder Befestigungselemente in Tierform gestaltet sind, sollte
der Schnullerhalter nicht automatisch als ein Spielzeug angesehen werden; das Hinzufügen eines
Spielzeugelements bewirkt jedoch, dass sowohl der Schnullerhalter als auch das Spielzeug die in der
Spielzeug-Richtlinie angegebenen wesentlichen sicherheitstechnischen Anforderungen erfüllen müssen.
Wenn keine eindeutige Klassifizierung des Schnullerhalters als Spielzeug möglich ist, sollte die innerhalb der
EU notifizierte Stelle für Spielzeug (Toy Notified Body) oder die für Spielzeug zuständige Behörde des
Mitgliedstaates konsultiert werden (siehe B.2).

Articles de puériculture - Attache sucette - Exigences de sécurité et méthodes d'essai

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences de sécurité relatives aux matériaux, à la fabrication,
aux performances, à l’emballage et à l’étiquetage des attaches sucettes (voir en B.1).
Elle comprend des méthodes d’essai portant sur les exigences mécaniques et chimiques spécifiées.
Tous les produits destinés à être utilisés pour fixer une sucette pour nourrissons et jeunes enfants à un autre produit
entrent dans le cadre de la présente Norme européenne.
La présente Norme européenne a pour but de spécifier les exigences de sécurité relatives aux attaches sucettes
généralement constituées d’un lien muni d’une attache à une extrémité qui retient la sucette, l’autre extrémité étant
munie d’un clip qui permet de la fixer au vêtement de l’enfant.
Si une attache sucette a été classée dans la catégorie des jouets ou est considérée comme ayant une valeur ludique
significative, l’attache sucette devra satisfaire aux exigences de sécurité essentielles relatives aux jouets visées dans
la Directive «Jouets» (88/378/CEE) en plus des exigences spécifiées dans la présente Norme européenne.
Il convient de ne pas considérer que l’ajout de décorations ou la présence de fixations en forme d’animaux classent
automatiquement l’attache sucette dans la catégorie jouets ; toutefois, l’ajout d’un élément ludique à l’attache sucette
nécessite que l’attache sucette et le jouet satisfassent aux exigences de sécurité essentielles visées dans la
Directive «Jouets». En cas de doute relatif à la classification d’une attache sucette dans la catégorie jouets, il convient
de demander l’avis d’un organisme de jouets notifié par l’UE ou de l’Autorité compétente de l’État membre en matière
de jouets (voir en B.2).

Izdelki za otroke - Držalo dude - Varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode (vključno z dopolnilom A1)

Ta evropski standard določa varnostne zahteve, ki se nanašajo na materiale, sestavo, delovanje, pakiranje in označevanje držal dude. Vključuje preskusne metode za določene mehanske in kemične zahteve. Vsi proizvodi za povezavo držala dude za dojenčke in majhne otroke, s katerim koli drugim proizvodom so v območju uporabe tega evropskega standarda. Ta evropski standard zagotavlja varnostne zahteve za držala dud, ki so na splošno sestavljene iz paščka z držalom na eni strani, ki trdno drži dudo, medtem ko je na drugi strani zaponka, ki se pritrdi na otrokova oblačila. Kjer je bilo držalo dude klasificirano kot igrača ali kjer se je štelo, da ima pomembno težo pri igranju, mora držalo dude izpolnjevati bistvene varnostne zahteve za igrače, kot je navedeno v Direktivi o igračah (88/378/EGS), poleg navedenih v tem evropskem standardu. Dodatki v obliki dekoracij ali zaponke v obliki živali ne pomenijo samodejno, da je držalo dude igrača; vendar držalu dude dodana komponenta v obliki igrače zahteva, da držalo dude in igrača izpolnjujeta bistvene zahteve, kot so navedene v Direktivi o igračah. V primeru dvoma glede klasifikacije držala dude kot igrače se je treba obrniti na organ EU, ki se obvešča o igračah, ali ustrezni organ države članice, pristojen za igrače.

(25 ± 2) N shall be applied in such a way that the longest length is achieved. All configurations shall be measured in order to ascertain the longest length excluding the garment fastener. In all cases, measurements shall be made under a tensile force of (25 ± 2) N. If the soother is attached to the strap by press studs, touch-and-close or similar devices, these shall be undone and the measurement shall be made from the end of the free strap to the last piece of strap or flexible attachment device at the garment fastener, but excluding the length of the garment fastener (see Figure 5). If the soother is attached to the strap by a permanently attached soother fastener, the measurement shall be made from the extreme end of the soother fastener, furthest from the strap, to the last piece of strap or flexible attachment device at the garment fastener but excluding the length of the garment fastener (see Figure 6). In addition to these measurements, if a supplementary component is attached to the strap or to a permanently attached soother fastener then the measurement shall be made from the extreme end of the supplementary component, furthest from the strap to the furthest end of the soother fastener (see Figure 7 and Figure 8). !If the strap contains a double strand for all or part of its length, then the length of any part containing a loop shall be tested under a tensile force of (25 ± 2) N. If the strap also contains a single strand element or another part in the form of a loop (see Figure 9) these may be removed before testing. Each part of the strap containing a loop shall be tested in isolation from any other part."

The tensile force shall be applied to one component of the holder whilst another part is firmly held. A preload of (5 ± 2) N shall be applied to align the specimen and then the force shall be increased to (90 ± 5) N at a crosshead speed of (200 ± 5) mm/min and maintained at that load for (10 ± 0,5) s. Clamps or other devices shall hold the component securely during the test without giving rise to damage which might affect the test result. Any result where such damage occurs shall be disregarded.

Additional tests shall be carried out to ensure the integrity of all components. All single components shall be tested and also every possible combination of pairs of components, if this has not been carried out in other tests. As the purpose of these series of tests is to reduce the risk of the soother holder coming apart, the force shall be applied in the most onerous position. 6.1.7.2 Test along the length of the soother holder Tensile tests shall be carried out on all the above pairs of components (if fitted) by exerting the force along the length of the soother holder. Where the soother fastener is manufactured as a separate item but is permanently fixed to the strap/chain it is permissible for the fastener to open below (90 ± 5) N and this shall not be counted as a failure. If the fastener does open the test shall be continued until the limit is reached. 6.1.7.3 Test at right angles to the main axis of the soother holder Tensile tests shall be carried out as described in 6.1.7.2 but by holding the garment fastener or soother fastener at right angles to the direction in 6.1.7.2. Depending on the design of the parts of the soother holder there may be more than one way in which a force can be exerted at right angles to that in 6.1.7.2. Tests shall be carried out in all these directions. Where the soother fastener is manufactured as a separate item but is permanently fixed to the strap/chain it is permissible for the fastener to open below (90 ± 5) N and this shall not be counted as a failure. If the fastener does open the test shall be continued until the limit is reached. 6.1.8 Finger traps test (see 5.1.4.1) Using a 5,5 mm probe (see !Figure 15") measure the penetration of any accessible hole. If the unhindered penetration is more than 10 mm, repeat using a 12 mm diameter probe. SIST EN 12586:2008+A1:2011

Orientate the part to be tested (fastener or supplementary component) in a position that would most likely permit the entry of the part through the slot in the guide. Place the part in the slot so that the only force on the fastener or supplementary component is the force due to its mass. Observe whether any part of the fastener or supplementary component protrudes past the base of the guide. If the fastener is permanently attached to the strap, the penetration of the strap past the base of the guide shall be ignored. If any supplementary component has a length of strap, then the penetration of the strap past the base of the guide shall be ignored. SIST EN 12586:2008+A1:2011
