Child care articles - Child carriers - Safety requirements and test methods - Part 1: Framed back carrier

This document specifies the safety requirements and test methods for child back carriers with framed support to carry a child in a seated position. Framed back carriers are intended for children from 6 months of age up to a maximum weight of 18 kg and are designed to carry the child on the carer’s back and be attached to a carer’s torso allowing a hands-free operation, e.g. standing, walking.
NOTE   The rationales for the inclusion of some of the requirements given in this document are given in Annex B.
This document does not cover framed back carriers designed for children with special needs.
If the framed back carrier has other functions not covered in this document, reference should be made to the relevant European Standard.

Artikel für Säuglinge und Kleinkinder - Kindertragen - Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren - Teil 1: Rückentragen mit Gestell

Dieses Dokument legt die Sicherheitsanforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Rückentragen mit Stützrahmen fest, die dafür konstruiert sind, ein Kind in sitzender Position zu tragen. Rückentragen mit Gestell sind für Kinder ab 6 Monaten bis zu einem Höchstgewicht von 18 kg vorgesehen und so konstruiert, dass das Kind auf dem Rücken des Erwachsenen getragen wird, wobei die Trage am Oberkörper des Erwachsenen angebracht ist, um diesem Handfreiheit zur Ausübung von Tätigkeiten etwa im Stehen und/oder Gehen zu ermöglichen.
ANMERKUNG   Die Begründungen für die Aufnahme einiger der in diesem Dokument gestellten Anforderungen sind in Anhang B aufgeführt.
Dieses Dokument behandelt keine Rückentragen mit Gestell für Kinder mit besonderen Bedürfnissen.
Wenn die Rückentrage mit Gestell Funktionen aufweist, die nicht in diesem Dokument behandelt werden, sollte auf die entsprechende Europäische Norm verwiesen werden.

Articles de puériculture - Porte-enfants - Exigences de sécurité et méthodes d'essai - Partie 1 : Porte-enfants dorsaux à armature

Le présent document spécifie les exigences de sécurité et les méthodes d’essai applicables aux porte enfants dorsaux à armature destinés à porter un enfant en position assise. Les porte-enfants dorsaux à armature sont destinés à être utilisés pour des enfants à partir de l’âge de 6 mois et jusqu’à un poids maximal de 18 kg, et sont conçus pour porter l’enfant sur le dos du porteur et pour être attachés au buste du porteur en lui permettant de garder les mains libres, par exemple lorsqu’il se tient debout ou qu’il marche.
NOTE   Les justifications relatives à l’ajout de certaines exigences données dans le présent document sont fournies dans l’Annexe B.
Le présent document ne couvre pas les porte-enfants dorsaux à armature destinés aux enfants ayant des besoins particuliers.
Si le porte-enfant dorsal à armature possède d’autres fonctions non couvertes par le présent document, il convient de se référer à la Norme européenne correspondante.

Izdelki za otroke - Oprema za nošenje otrok - Varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode - 1. del: Nahrbtniki z ogrodjem

Ta dokument določa varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode za nahrbtnike z ogrodjem za prenašanje otroka v sedečem položaju. Nahrbtnik z ogrodjem je namenjen za nošenje otrok od 6 mesecev starosti do teže največ 18 kg in si ga uporabnik namesti na hrbet, kar mu omogoča proste roke, ko na primer stoji ali hodi.
OPOMBA:   Utemeljitve za vključitev nekaterih zahtev iz tega dokumenta so podane v dodatku A.
Ta dokument ne zajema nahrbtnikov z ogrodjem, namenjenih otrokom s posebnimi potrebami.
Če ima nahrbtnik z ogrodjem druge funkcije, ki jih ta dokument ne zajema, je priporočljiv sklic na ustrezni evropski standard.
