Dieses Dokument legt die sicherheitstechnischen Anforderungen und die Prüfverfahren für Kinderschutz-gitter zur Verwendung im Wohnbereich fest; diese sind an Öffnungen so zu befestigen, dass die Zugangs-möglichkeiten eines Kindes innerhalb des Hauses eingeschränkt sind, um so Kinder im Alter bis 24 Monaten am Durchgang zu hindern.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Produkte, die an Fenstern zu befestigen sind.
Verfügt das Kinderschutzgitter über weitere Funktionen, die nicht in dieser Europäischen Norm behandelt werden, sollte auf die einschlägige Europäische Norm verwiesen werden.

A rigid construction shall be made from 100 mm × 100 mm steel tube, which has a vertical beam
adjustable in the horizontal direction within the frame made from 100 mm × 100 mm steel tube, see
Figure 8.
The maximum deflection of the test frame and the adjustable vertical beam shall be 1 mm when a force
of 1,000 N is applied in the positions and directions given in Figure 9. The application of the forces shall
be done in the sequence of F, F1 and F2 and the measurements taken in the sequence M, M1 and M2.
One smooth, planed beech pad on each side of the test frame of consistent thickness throughout its
length (50 ± 1) mm shall be fixed to the surface of the vertical beams to which the safety barrier is
fitted.
The vertical beams and beech pads shall, once adjusted, not move or twist during the fitting and testing
of the safety barrier.

4.9 Rattle test equipment
The apparatus shall be as shown in Figure 10, consisting of a steel driving disc of 110 mm diameter,
having a mass of 1 kg and capable of rotating at a speed of 120(0+5) rpm. The disc shall be mounted on
the pivot support arm, pivoted at its base.
The disc shall be linked to the safety barrier by means of a 200 mm link arm having a mass of
(0,15 ± 0,02) kg. The link arm shall be freely pivoted on the disc. The centre of the pivot point for the
link arm shall be located (45 ± 1) mm from the centre of the disc.
The link arm shall be connected to the safety barrier by the use of any suitable means that allows the
arm, at the point at which it attaches to the safety barrier, to pivot e.g. a clamp with pivot attachment.
The distance between the pivot point of the support arm (4 and 7 in Figure 10) and centre of the steel
driving disc shall be (600 ± 20) mm on the arm (2 in Figure 10).
The total mass of the test equipment shall be (11 ± 1) kg with the majority of the weight positioned
within the base to prevent movement whilst in use.

The impactor (see Figure 13) shall consist of a basketball made of a synthetic material and having a
circumference of 750 mm to 780 mm inflated to a pressure of (72,5 ± 5) kPa and attached by a network
of elastic cords to the mounting ring. The ball mounting shall consist of a ring having an outside
diameter of (150 ± 5) mm and an inside diameter of (90 ± 5) mm. The rear face of this ring shall be
