Child use and care articles - Carry cots and stands - Safety requirements and test methods

This European Standarddocument specifies safety requirements and test methods for products which are intended for the purpose of carrying a child in a lying position by means of handle(s) and for stands which may be used in conjunction with these products (see C.2).
These products are intended for a child who cannot sit unaided, roll over or push up on its hands and knees, with a maximum weight of 9 kg. Hereafter, in this European Standard these products are called "carry cots" and include all types of carry cot with rigid or soft sides as well as moses baskets and any similar products.
This European Standard has not considered the requirements of children with special needs.

Artikel für Säuglinge und Kleinkinder - Tragetaschen und Ständer - Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfungen

Dieses Dokument legt Sicherheitsanforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Produkte, die eine Schlafmöglichkeit bieten und dafür bestimmt sind, ein liegendes Kind an einem oder mehreren Tragegriffen mit einer Hand zu tragen, sowie für Ständer, die zusammen mit diesen Produkten benutzt werden könnten (siehe B.2), die für den häuslichen Gebrauch vorgesehen sind, fest.
Diese Produkte sind für Kinder mit einem Körpergewicht von höchstens 9 kg bestimmt, die sich noch nicht selbst aufsetzen bzw. auf die Seite rollen oder sich auf Hände und Knie stützen können. Nachfolgend werden diese Produkte in diesem Dokument als Tragetaschen bezeichnet und umfassen alle Arten von Tragetaschen mit starren oder nicht starren Seitenwänden.
Die folgenden Produkte für Kinder fallen nicht in den Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokuments: Produkte für Kinder mit besonderen Bedürfnissen; Produkte für Kinder, bei denen es sich um medizinische Geräte handelt und Produkte für Kinder, die spezifische Belange im Zusammenhang mit der Kindesentwicklung, wie beispielsweise für Frühgeborene oder bei Makrosomie, berücksichtigen.
ANMERKUNG   Falls ein Produkt noch weitere Funktionen hat oder so umbaubar ist, dass es weitere Funktionen erfüllt, können zusätzliche Europäische Normen gelten.

Articles de puériculture - Couffins et supports - Exigences de sécurité et méthodes d'essai

Le présent document spécifie les exigences de sécurité et les méthodes d’essai relatives aux produits prévus pour le sommeil et pour le portage d’un enfant en position couchée au moyen d’une ou de plusieurs poignées tenues à l’aide d’une seule main et aux supports utilisables en association avec ces produits (voir B.2), prévus pour une utilisation domestique.
Ces produits sont destinés à être utilisés lorsque l’enfant ne sait pas s’asseoir seul ni rouler sur lui-même ni se redresser en appui sur les mains et les genoux, poids maximum 9 kg. Dans le présent document, ces produits sont dénommés ci-après « couffins » et incluent tous les types de couffins dotés de côtés rigides ou non rigides.
Les produits pour enfants suivants ne relèvent pas du domaine d’application du présent document : les produits pour enfants ayant des besoins spécifiques ; les produits pour enfants qui sont des dispositifs médicaux et les produits pour enfants qui répondent à certains problèmes liés au développement de l’enfant comme la prématurité ou la macrosomie.
NOTE   Si un produit possède d’autres fonctions ou peut être converti en d’autre fonctions, des Normes européennes supplémentaires peuvent s’appliquer.

European foreword

This document (prEN 1466:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 252 “Child use

and care articles”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document will supersede EN 1466:2014.

In comparison with EN 1466:2014 the significant technical changes relate to the following issues:

— introduction of new chemical requirement following CEN/TR 13387 revision.
— clarification of clause of the restraints system. (7.1.5)

— improvement of requirement and test method for soft carry cot (7.1.2.3 and 7.1.2.4)

— introduction of new requirements and test methods to cover suffocation hazard (7.6.)

— improvement of instruction of used especially concerning the use of soft carry cot.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the

European Free Trade Association.

European foreword

This document (prEN 1466:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 252 “Child care

articles”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the second CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1466:2014.

In comparison with EN 1466:2014 the significant technical changes relate to the following issues:

— improvement of title to take into account the domestic use only.
— improvement of scope to clarify which products are involved (1)
— introduction of new chemical requirement following CEN/TR 13387 revision.
— clarification of clause of the restraints system. (7.1.5)

— improvement of requirement and test method for soft carry cot (7.1.2.3 and 7.1.2.4)

— introduction of new requirements and test methods to cover suffocation hazard (7.6.)

— improvement of stability test, strength test and folding mechanisms of stands (7.8.3,7.9.3 and

7.9.4).

— improvement of instruction of use especially concerning the use of soft carry cot.

This document has been prepared under a mandate M/264 given to CEN by the European Commission

and the European Free Trade Association. The standard is developed in support of the EU Directive

2001/95/EC (GPDS).

1 Scope

This document specifies safety requirements and test methods for products which provide a sleeping

accommodation and are intended for the purpose of carrying a child in a lying position by means of

handle(s) by using one hand and for stands which could be used in conjunction with these products (see

B.2), intended for domestic use.

These products are intended for a child who cannot sit unaided, roll over or push up on its hands and

knees, with a maximum weight of 9 kg. Hereafter, in this document these products are called “carry

cots” and include all types of carry cot with rigid or soft sides and any similar products.

This document has not considered the requirements of children with special needs.
