This document specifies safety requirements and test methods for cribs (including cradles, suspended
cribs and bedside sleepers) for domestic and non-domestic use.
The requirements apply to cribs with a maximum internal length of crib base of 900 mm which are
intended to provide sleeping accommodation for infants, until they are able to sit unaided or pull or push
themselves up on their hands and knees.
This document does not apply to electrical safety.
It does not apply to cribs used for medical purposes or used in hospitals.
Products that can be converted into other items may be covered by other relevant European Standards.
Annex A (informative) includes a rationale.
Annex B (informative) includes an A-deviation.

4 General test conditions
4.1 Preliminary preparation
The tests are designed to be applied to a crib that is fully assembled and ready for use.
The test unit shall be stored in indoor ambient conditions for at least 24 h prior to testing.
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 crib shall be tested as delivered. If the crib is a knock down type, it shall be assembled according to
the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the crib. If the crib 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. Re-tightening during remaining tests shall not take
place unless this is specifically required by the manufacturer.
4.2 Application of Forces
The test forces in durability and static load tests shall be applied sufficiently slowly to ensure that
negligible dynamic load is applied and kinetic heating does not occur.
Unless otherwise stated, static forces, including tension, torque test, shall be maintained for (10 ± 2) s.
Unless otherwise stated, durability forces shall be maintained for (2 ± 1) s.
The forces may be replaced by masses. The relationship 10 N = 1 kg shall be used.

4.3 Tolerances
Unless otherwise stated, the following tolerances apply:
— Forces: ± 5 % of the nominal force;
— Angles: ± 2° of the nominal angle;
— Masses: ± 1 % of the nominal mass;
— Dimensions: ± 1,0 mm of the nominal dimension;
— Positioning of loading pads: ± 5 mm;
NOTE For the purposes of uncertainty measurement, test results are not considered to be adversely affected
when the above tolerances are met.
4.4 Definition of the protected volume
When the crib is assembled according to the manufacturer's instructions the protected volume is defined
as follows:
— when a child’s hand can neither reach through sides nor ends, inside of the crib and the exterior of the
crib 50 mm measured in any direction from the upper part of the rim ;
— when a child’s hand can reach through sides or ends, whole crib, except for the underside of the crib
base
5 Test equipment
5.1 General
Unless otherwise specified, test forces may be applied by any suitable device, because results are
dependent only upon correctly applied forces and loads, and not upon apparatus.
5.2 Test mass
The test mass is a rigid cylinder (120 ± 5) mm in diameter and (180 ± 5) mm in height, having a mass of
+0,01
9 kg and with its centre of gravity in the centre of the cylinder. All edges shall be rounded with radius
−0
of (5 ± 1) mm.
5.3 Entrapment test probes
5.3.1 Finger probes with hemispherical end
Probes with hemispherical end made of plastic or other hard, smooth material, mounted on a force-
measuring device. See Figure 1.
