1 Scope This part of EN 12221 specifies test methods that assess the safety of changing units. It should be noted that the effect of ageing and degradation of materials is not included. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
!EN 12221-1:2008+A1:2013, Child use and care articles – Changing units for domestic use – Part 1: Safety requirements" ISO 7619-2, Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic – Determination of indentation hardness – Part 2: IRHD pocket meter method 3 General test conditions 3.1 Preliminary preparation The sample for testing shall be stored in indoor ambient conditions for at least one week immediately prior to testing – any variations from this procedure shall be justified in the report. Before testing, any fabrics used shall be cleaned or washed and dried twice following the manufacturer’s instructions. The test shall be carried out in indoor ambient conditions, but if during a test the atmosphere temperature is outside the range 15 °C or above 25 °C, the maximum and/or minimum temperature shall be recorded in the test report. The changing unit shall be tested as delivered. If of knock-down type, it shall be assembled according to the instructions supplied with the unit. If the changing unit can be assembled or combined in different ways, the most onerous combinations shall be used for each test.
All fittings shall be tightened in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and shall not be retightened throughout the test procedure. 3.2 Application of forces The forces in the static load tests shall be applied sufficiently slowly to ensure that negligible dynamic force is applied. The forces in the durability tests shall be applied at a rate to ensure that excessive heating does not occur. 3.3 Tolerances Unless otherwise stated, the following tolerances apply: Forces:
±
5 % of the nominal force; Masses:
±
0,5 % of the nominal mass; SIST EN 12221-2:2008+A1:2013
EN 12221-2:2008+A1:2013 (E) 6 Dimensions: ±
1,0 mm of the nominal dimension; Angles:
±
2° of the nominal angle; Positioning of loading pads: ± 5 mm; Duration of forces: ( 2 ± 1) s for durability tests and (10 ± 2) s for static load tests The tests are described in terms of the application of forces. Masses can however be used. The relationship 10 N = 1 kg may be used for this purpose. 3.4 Test sequence The tests shall be carried out in the order laid down in this standard and on the same changing unit. 4 Test equipment 4.1 General Unless otherwise specified, test forces may be applied by any suitable device, which does not adversely affect the results.
4.2 Measuring cones
Cones made of plastics or other hard, smooth material with an angle of 30°± 0,5° having diameters 25 mm (0/- 0,1 mm), 45 mm (0/+ 0,1 mm) and 65 mm (0/- 0,1 mm) (see Figure 1).
