Kinderhochstühle - Anforderungen und Prüfung
Diese Europäische Norm legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen an freistehende Kinderhochstühle fest, die ein Kind auf die Höhe eines Esstisches heben, üblicherweise zum Füttern oder Essen. Kinderhochstühle sind für Kinder bis zu einem Alter von 3 Jahren, die eigenständig sitzen können.
Diese Norm gilt für Kinderhochstühle für den Wohn- und Nicht-Wohnbereich, mit Ausnahme von Spezialhochstühlen für medizinische Zwecke.
ANMERKUNG Falls ein Kinderhochstuhl für andere Funktionen umgebaut wurde oder umgebaut werden kann, können zusätzliche Europäische Normen gelten.
Chaises hautes pour enfants - Exigences et méthodes d'essai
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences de sécurité applicables aux chaises hautes autoportantes pour enfants qui permettent d’installer ces derniers à la hauteur d'une table à manger, généralement dans le but de les nourrir ou de leur permettre de manger. Les chaises hautes pour enfants sont destinées à des enfants âgés au maximum de trois ans et capables de se tenir seuls en position assise.
En dehors des chaises hautes spéciales utilisées à des fins médicales, la présente norme est applicable aux chaises hautes pour enfants à usage domestique ou non domestique.
NOTE Si une chaise haute pour enfants doit ou peut être transformée en un système destiné à d’autres fonctions, d’autres Normes européennes peuvent s’appliquer.
Otroški visoki stoli - Zahteve in preskusne metode
Ta evropski standard določa varnostne zahteve za prosto stoječe otroške visoke stole na standardni višini jedilne mize, običajno namenjene za hranjenje ali prehranjevanje otrok. Otroški visoki stoli so namenjeni otrokom do 3. leta starosti, ki lahko samostojno sedijo.
Ta standard se uporablja za otroške visoke stole za vsa področja uporabe, razen za posebne visoke stole za medicinsko uporabo.

line intersection of the seat and the back rest 4 General 4.1 Test conditions The high chair shall be tested as delivered. If the high chair is a knock-down type, it shall be assembled according to the instructions supplied with it. If the instructions allow for different adjustments or configurations of components (e.g. inclination of the backrest, height of the seat, position of the tray, position of castors/wheels, etc.), the most onerous combination shall be used for each test, unless otherwise specified in the test method. Knock-down fittings shall be tightened before testing. Further re-tightening shall not take place. 4.2 Application of forces The forces in the static load tests shall be applied sufficiently slowly to ensure that negligible dynamic force is applied. The tests are described in terms of the application of forces, however masses can be used. The relationship 10 N = 1 kg shall be used for this purpose. 4.3 Tolerances Unless otherwise stated, the following tolerances apply: — Forces: ± 5 % of the nominal force; — Masses: ± 0,5 % of the nominal mass; — Dimensions: ± 1,0 mm of the nominal dimension; — Angles: ± 2° of the nominal angle; — Positioning of loading pads: ± 5 mm.

Die SIST EN 14988:2017 ist ein entscheidendes Dokument, das spezifische Sicherheitsanforderungen und Prüfmethoden für freistehende Kinderhochstühle festlegt. Der Geltungsbereich dieser europäischen Norm richtet sich an Hochstühle, die dafür entworfen sind, Kinder bis zu einem Alter von drei Jahren, die in der Lage sind, ohne Unterstützung zu sitzen, auf Höhe des Esstischs zu erheben. Diese Norm ist sowohl für den heimischen als auch für den nicht-heimischen Gebrauch von Bedeutung, was ihre Relevanz im Markt unterstreicht. Ein hervorstechendes Merkmal der SIST EN 14988:2017 ist ihre umfassende Betrachtung von Sicherheitsaspekten. Sie definiert klare Anforderungen, um sicherzustellen, dass Kinderhochstühle stabil und verletzungsfrei sind, wodurch das Wohlbefinden der Kinder während des Essens gewährleistet wird. Außerdem werden methodische Prüfstandards bereitgestellt, die Herstellern und Prüfinstitutionen helfen, die Sicherheit ihrer Produkte systematisch zu bewerten. Der Standard berücksichtigt ebenfalls Hochstühle, die möglicherweise in andere Funktionen umgewandelt werden können, was die Flexibilität und Anpassungsfähigkeit der Produkte in verschiedenen Nutzungskontexten fördert. Dadurch bleibt der Standard relevant, selbst wenn sich die Bedürfnisse und Erwartungen von Familien im Laufe der Zeit ändern. Insgesamt bietet die SIST EN 14988:2017 eine wichtige Grundlage für die Sicherheit von Kinderhochstühlen und stellt sicher, dass sowohl Hersteller als auch Verbraucher auf hohe Sicherheitsstandards vertrauen können. Die Norm ist ein unabdingbarer Bestandteil der Produktentwicklung und -vermarktung im Bereich der Kindermöbel.
SIST EN 14988:2017は、子ども用ハイチェアに関するヨーロッパ標準であり、その内容は非常に充実しています。この標準は、主に食事や給餌の目的で、子どもをダイニングテーブルの高さに引き上げるためのフリースタンディングハイチェアの安全要件と試験方法を規定しています。対象年齢は3歳未満の自力で座ることができる子供です。 この標準の大きな強みは、安全基準を厳格に定めている点です。消費者が安心して使用できる商品開発を促進し、事故や怪我のリスクを低減します。また、家庭用および非家庭用の両方に対応しており、多様な使用シーンに適合することが求められています。さらに、医療用の特別なハイチェアを除外することで、特定のニーズに応じた基準の適用を明確にし、製品の安全性を確保しています。 この標準が relevance（関連性）を保ちつつ、改良を続けることによって、最新の市場ニーズや技術革新を反映する姿勢も重要です。特に、ハイチェアが他の機能に変換可能な場合、追加のヨーロッパ標準が適用されることを考慮に入れることで、製品の多機能性と利用価値を高めています。 全体として、SIST EN 14988:2017は、子供の安全を最優先に考えた標準であり、消費者とメーカーの双方にとって非常に重要なガイドラインとして機能しています。
SIST EN 14988:2017 표준은 어린이들의 안전한 식사 환경을 보장하기 위한 중요한 지침으로, 주로 3세 이하의 어린이를 위한 독립형 고급 아기의자에 대한 요구 사항과 시험 방법을 명시합니다. 이 표준은 어린이 고급 아기의자가 식탁 높이로 어린이를 안전하게 올려놓을 수 있도록 설계되었으며, 그 목적은 주로 먹이기 및 식사에 사용되도록 되어 있습니다. 이 표준의 강점 중 하나는 안전성 요구 사항의 명확한 정의입니다. 어린이 고급 아기의자가 일상생활에서 사용될 경우, 일반 가정용 및 비가정용 환경 모두에서 준수해야 할 기준이 포함되어 있어, 사용자의 안전을 최우선으로 보장합니다. 이를 통해 부모와 보호자는 아기의자의 안전성을 확신할 수 있으며, 시장에서의 신뢰도를 높이는 데 기여합니다. 또한, SIST EN 14988:2017은 특정 용도로 변환이 가능한 아기의자에 대한 추가적인 요구 사항을 언급하며, 이는 제조업체가 다양한 기능을 가진 제품을 설계할 때도 관련 유럽 표준을 준수할 수 있게 도와줍니다. 이로써, 사용자는 더욱 다양한 제품 선택의 기회를 가지게 되며, 소비자 맞춤형 솔루션이 가능해집니다. 결론적으로, SIST EN 14988:2017 표준은 어린이의 안전과 편안함을 보장하기 위한 필수적인 가이드라인으로, 고급 아기의자의 설계 및 제조에 있어 매우 중요한 역할을 합니다. 이 표준의 준수는 어린이에게 안전하고 즐거운 식사 경험을 제공할 수 있게 해주며, 산업 전반에 긍정적인 영향을 미칩니다.
The SIST EN 14988:2017 standard establishes essential safety requirements and test methods for children's high chairs, specifically designed for free-standing models that elevate young children to dining table height, primarily for feeding purposes. The scope of this standard is commendably comprehensive, targeting children up to three years old who can sit unaided, ensuring that the design and functionality of these high chairs cater effectively to the developmental needs of this age group. One of the significant strengths of this standard is its emphasis on safety, which is paramount given the vulnerable demographic it addresses. By focusing on free-standing children's high chairs, the standard delineates clear requirements that manufacturers must adhere to, thereby minimizing risks related to stability, durability, and overall safety performance. The fact that it includes both domestic and non-domestic use highlights its relevance across various environments, from family homes to commercial settings like restaurants and childcare facilities. Moreover, the inclusion of a note regarding the conversion of high chairs into other functions suggests a forward-thinking approach, acknowledging the evolving nature of children's products. This aspect encourages manufacturers to consider compliance with additional European Standards, promoting a holistic view of product safety beyond just the high chair's primary function. Furthermore, the standardized test methods detailed within this document ensure that high chairs are rigorously evaluated against consistent measurement benchmarks. This not only facilitates a uniform understanding of safety parameters but also provides a basis for consumer confidence in the products labeled under this standard. Overall, the SIST EN 14988:2017 standard is a vital document that reinforces manufacturers' commitment to safety and quality in the production of children's high chairs, making it a critical reference for those operating within this sector. Its balanced approach to safety requirements, alongside a clear definition of intended use, enhances its relevance and effectiveness in safeguarding young users.
