Textile child care articles - Safety requirements and test methods for children's cot duvets - Part 1: Duvet (excluding duvet covers)
This draft European Standard specifies requirements for the safety of children's cot duvets, excluding removable duvet covers, used in the child’s sleeping environment (i.e. not under supervision), and designed to provide sufficient warmth when sleeping in a cot or similar product (e.g. crib/cradle) in which a child is contained. This document specifies requirements for cot duvets suitable for children up to 36 months. Cot duvets with permanent decorative outer fabrics also known as cot quilts or coverlet are also in the scope.
NOTE The informative Annex E lists topics of further investigations which might lead to necessary improvement of the safety requirements of children's cot duvets.
The requirements for removable cot duvet covers are excluded from this document and are covered in prEN 16779 2 (in preparation).
If a part of the children's cot duvet is designed to offer additional function (e.g. play function), in addition of the following requirements, this part will be subjected to safety requirements related to relevant standards (see A.1).
Textile Artikel für Kleinkinder und Säuglinge - Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Kinderbettdecken - Teil 1: Bettdecken (ausgenommen Bettbezüge)
Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen an die Sicherheit von Kinderbettdecken, ausgenommen abziehbare Bettbezüge, fest, die im Schlafumfeld des Kindes (d. h. nicht beaufsichtigt) verwendet werden und dafür gestaltet sind, dem in einem Kinderbett oder in einem ähnlichen Produkt (z. B. Krippe/Wiege) schlafenden Kind ausreichend Wärme zu bieten. Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen an Kinderbettdecken für Kinder im Alter bis zu 36 Monaten fest. In den Anwendungsbereich fallen auch Kinderbettdecken mit dauerhaftem dekorativem Bezug, auch bekannt als Steppdecke oder Tagesdecke.
ANMERKUNG Im informativen Anhang E sind Themen zu weiteren Untersuchungen aufgeführt, die zur notwendigen Verbesserung der sicherheitstechnischen Anforderungen an Kinderbettdecken führen können.
Die Anforderungen an abziehbare Kinderbettbezüge sind von diesem Dokument ausgenommen und werden in EN 16779 2 behandelt.
Wenn ein Teil des Kinderschlafsacks so gestaltet ist, dass er eine zusätzliche Funktion bietet (z.B. Spielfunktion), unterliegt dieser Teil zusätzlich zu den folgenden Anforderungen auch den sicherheitstechnischen Anforderungen der zutreffenden Normen.
Articles textiles de puériculture - Exigences de sécurité et méthodes d’essai pour les couettes pour lit d’enfant - Partie 1 : Couette (excluant les housses de couette)
Le présent projet de Norme européenne spécifie les exigences pour la sécurité des couettes pour lit d’enfant, à l’exclusion des housses de couette amovibles, utilisées dans l’environnement de sommeil de l’enfant (autrement dit hors surveillance) et conçues pour apporter une chaleur suffisante pendant le sommeil dans un lit d’enfant ou un produit similaire (berceau par exemple) dans lequel l’enfant est installé. Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives aux couettes pour lit d’enfant adaptées aux enfants jusqu’à 36 mois. Les couettes pour lit d’enfant munies d’étoffes extérieures décoratives permanentes, aussi appelées couvertures piquées pour lit d’enfant ou couvre-lits, entrent également dans le domaine d’application.
NOTE L’Annexe E, informative, présente des pistes de recherches complémentaires susceptibles de faire évoluer les exigences de sécurité des couettes pour lit d’enfant.
Le présent document ne traite pas des exigences concernant les housses de couette amovibles pour lit d’enfant. Celles-ci sont traitées dans le prEN 16779 2 (en préparation).
Si une partie d’une couette pour lit d’enfant est conçue pour permettre une fonction supplémentaire (fonction de jouer par exemple), en plus des exigences suivantes, cette partie sera soumise aux exigences de sécurité des normes correspondantes (voir A.1).
Tekstilni izdelki za otroke - Varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode za prešite odeje za otroško posteljico - 1. del: Prešite odeje (razen prevleke za odeje)
Ta evropski standard določa varnostne zahteve za prešite odeje za otroške posteljice, razen odstranljive prevleke za odeje, ki se uporabljajo v otrokovem spalnem okolju (tj. brez nadzora), ki so zasnovane za zagotavljanje zadostne toplote pri spanju v otroški posteljici ali podobnem izdelku (npr. zibelki), v katerem se nahaja otrok. Ta dokument določa zahteve za prešite odeje za otroške posteljice, primerne za otroke, stare do 36 mesecev. Prešite odeje za otroške posteljice s trajno dekorativno zunanjo tkanino, znane tudi kot pregrinjala, so tudi del področja uporabe tega standarda.
OPOMBA Informativni dodatek E navaja seznam tem za nadaljnje raziskave, ki lahko vodijo do nujnih izboljšav varnostnih zahtev za prešite odeje za otroške posteljice.
Zahteve za odstranljive prevleke za odeje niso del tega dokumenta in so obravnavane v standardu EN 16779-2.
Če je del prešite odeje za otroške posteljice zasnovan tako, da ponuja dodatno funkcijo (npr. predvajanje), za ta del poleg navedenih zahtev veljajo tudi varnostne zahteve ustreznih standardov (glejte A.1).

Rationale A.1 General This European Standard seeks as far as possible to apply a hazard approach instead of design restrictions. For most of the requirements, the hazard which is addressed is explained in Annex A together with a background and rationale. These requirements and justifications are crossed referenced to the relevant standards. In some European countries, cot duvets are used from birth (such as Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland), and in some others they are not recommended for infants under the age of 9 months (such as France) or under the age of 12 months (UK, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands) due to the increased risk of hyperthermia (overheating) (see 5.2 d) – Some of these recommendations are issued by national healthcare agencies. The Toy Safety Directive (2009/48/EC) covers all items which have play value regardless of whether or not the play function is the primary function or not. It is necessary to incorporate this requirement to cover the use of textures, mirrors, attachments such as rattles or squeakers and other elements which would be considered as having a play value (see 1).
