General Information
Overview
The oSIST prEN 18122:2024:2024 standard, developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), defines the safety requirements and test methods for learning towers designed for domestic use. These products are intended to safely raise children, generally up to 6 years old, to a standing height suitable for carrying out activities on kitchen worktops, bathroom sinks, and similar surfaces. Learning towers enhance child participation during daily tasks while ensuring their safety and stability.
This standard is critical for manufacturers, designers, and safety inspectors of children’s furniture, especially focusing on high chairs and learning towers used in domestic environments. It addresses the safety, structural integrity, and chemical and mechanical hazards associated with these products.
Key Topics
Product Scope and Definitions
Defines the learning tower as a freestanding product including a raised platform and guardrails designed to prevent falls. Essential components such as platforms, guardrails, locking mechanisms, and operating devices are clearly described for standardization.Safety Requirements
Covers critical safety aspects such as:- Protecting children from falls via guardrails
- Preventing entrapment of fingers, head, or neck
- Avoiding hazards caused by moving or folding parts
- Ensuring stability under various conditions, including step/rung integrity
- Removing choking hazards from small parts and ingestion risks
- Addressing thermal hazards and chemical migration according to toxicological safety standards
Test Methods
Specifies a detailed sequence of tests and the necessary equipment such as finger probes, head probes, test masses, and loading pads. Tests simulate realistic forces and conditions to evaluate structural strength, stability, and resistance to mechanical failures under normal use.Marking and Product Information
Requires clear, durable marking and comprehensive user instructions explaining proper assembly, use, and maintenance to support compliance and safe usage.
Applications
oSIST prEN 18122:2024:2024 directly applies to the manufacture, testing, and certification of learning towers and children’s high chairs for domestic environments. Relevant stakeholders include:
- Furniture manufacturers designing safe, ergonomic child learning towers
- Safety testing labs verifying compliance with European safety standards
- Retailers and resellers assessing product safety and labeling accuracy
- Child safety advocacy organizations evaluating hazards in home furniture
- Regulatory bodies monitoring the market to enforce consumer safety laws
These towers enable young children to safely participate at elevated worktops, fostering developmental independence while minimizing risks.

La norme oSIST prEN 18122:2024 pour les chaises hautes pour enfants, spécifiquement les tours d'apprentissage, propose un cadre exhaustif pour garantir la sécurité de ces équipements essentiels dans les foyers. Son domaine d'application est clair et pertinent, s'adressant aux tours d'apprentissage destinées aux enfants capables de se tenir debout de manière autonome jusqu'à environ six ans. Les exigences de sécurité énoncées dans ce document sont cruciales pour minimiser les risques liés à l'utilisation de ces structures. La norme stipule des méthodes d'essai rigoureuses qui permettent de vérifier la stabilité, la résistance et la durabilité des tours d'apprentissage, garantissant ainsi qu'elles répondent aux attentes en matière de sécurité pour un usage domestique. Un des principaux points forts de la norme oSIST prEN 18122:2024 réside dans sa capacité à s'adapter à divers types de tours d'apprentissage, tout en fournissant des lignes directrices précises pour celles qui sont multifonctionnelles. Cela signifie que les fabricants peuvent s'appuyer sur des exigences harmonisées tout en intégrant des caractéristiques supplémentaires, si nécessaires, qui relèvent d'autres normes. En outre, cette norme renforce la confiance des parents vis-à-vis de la sécurité des tours d'apprentissage, leur permettant d'encourager l'autonomie de leurs enfants dans des environnements de cuisine et de salle de bain en toute sérénité. En termes de pertinence, oSIST prEN 18122:2024 s'inscrit parfaitement dans la démarche actuelle de sensibilisation à la sécurité des produits pour enfants, répondant à une demande croissante pour des équipements sécurisés et fiables. En somme, la norme oSIST prEN 18122:2024 constitue un outil fondamental pour les fabricants, les distributeurs et les consommateurs, établissant des standards clairs pour les tours d'apprentissage et veillant à ce que les enfants puissent évoluer dans un cadre sûr et adéquat.
The standard oSIST prEN 18122:2024 provides a comprehensive framework for the safety requirements and testing methods concerning learning towers intended for domestic use. It specifically focuses on products designed to elevate children as they engage in activities at kitchen worktops, bathroom sinks, and similar environments, allowing for a safe and supportive standing position during use. One of the notable strengths of this standard is its clear specification of safety requirements. By delineating the necessary safety protocols, it assists manufacturers in producing learning towers that prioritize child safety, thereby fostering an environment conducive to learning and independence for children aged approximately standing to six years old. This age-related focus ensures that the product is tailored to the developmental stages of young children, addressing both the physical and safety needs inherent in this age group. Moreover, the standard incorporates precise test methods, which are crucial for verifying compliance with safety requirements. These test methods provide a consistent benchmark, ensuring that learning towers meet the established safety criteria before reaching consumers. By establishing rigorous testing parameters, manufacturers are encouraged to uphold high safety standards, contributing to broader public trust in the products designed for children. The relevance of oSIST prEN 18122:2024 extends beyond mere compliance; it serves as a critical reference point for stakeholders involved in the development and regulation of children's products. The focus on domestic utility aligns with the growing interest among parents and caregivers in creating safer home environments that facilitate children's learning and engagement. Furthermore, the note regarding alternative standards for products with additional functions underscores the adaptability of the standard, emphasizing that safety remains a priority regardless of the specific features of the learning tower. In summary, the oSIST prEN 18122:2024 standard is an essential document for ensuring the safety and functionality of children's learning towers.

Die Norm oSIST prEN 18122:2024 befasst sich umfassend mit den Sicherheitsanforderungen und Prüfmethoden für Lernhochstühle, die für den häuslichen Gebrauch bestimmt sind. Diese Norm hat ein klares Ziel: Die Sicherheit und Funktionalität von Lernhochstühlen zu gewährleisten, die es Kindern ermöglichen, in einer aufrechten Position Aufgaben auf Küchenarbeitsplatten, Waschbecken im Badezimmer und ähnlichen Höhen durchzuführen. Ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Norm ist die Definition des Anwendungsbereichs, der sich auf Kinder erstreckt, die in der Lage sind, selbstständig zu stehen, bis zu einem Alter von etwa 6 Jahren. Diese Altersgrenze ist besonders wichtig, da sie sicherstellt, dass die Produkte der Zielgruppe entsprechen und die spezifischen Bedürfnisse der Kinder in dieser Entwicklungsphase berücksichtigen. Die Stärken der Norm liegen in der präzisen Festlegung von Sicherheitsanforderungen, die potenzielle Risiken beim Gebrauch von Lernhochstühlen minimieren. Der Fokus auf Testmethoden sorgt dafür, dass Hersteller die Sicherheit ihrer Produkte systematisch überprüfen können, bevor sie auf den Markt kommen. Dies ist nicht nur für die Sicherheit der Kinder entscheidend, sondern erhöht auch das Vertrauen der Eltern in Produkte, die für den häuslichen Gebrauch bestimmt sind. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht die Norm die Anwendung anderer Standards, wenn Lernhochstühle zusätzliche Funktionen bieten. Dies fördert die Flexibilität der Hersteller und gewährleistet, dass auch in Fällen, die über die Grundfunktionen hinausgehen, angemessene Sicherheits- und Leistungsstandards eingehalten werden. Insgesamt ist die Norm oSIST prEN 18122:2024 von großer Relevanz in der heutigen Zeit, in der Sicherheit für Kinder an erster Stelle steht. Die klare Struktur und die detaillierten Anforderungen der Norm tragen dazu bei, ein hohes Maß an Sicherheit und Qualität bei der Herstellung von Lernhochstühlen zu gewährleisten.
