Child care articles - Table mounted chairs - Safety requirements and test methods

This European Standard specifies safety requirements and the corresponding test methods for table mounted chairs, intended for children who are able to sit by themselves (approximately 6 months old) and up to 15 kg. This European Standard deals only with safety and does not purpose to establish particular designs or special construction methods for the table mounted chairs themselves.

Izdelki za otroke - Stoli, ki se pritrdijo na mizo - Varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode

Ta evropski standard določa varnostne zahteve in ustrezne preskusne metode za stole, ki se pritrdijo na mizo, namenjene za otroke, ki lahko sedijo samostojno (starost približno 6 mesecev) ali so težki vključno do 15 kg. Ta evropski standard obravnava samo varnost in ne določa posameznih zasnov ali metod izdelave za same stole, ki se pritrdijo na mizo.

Two support structures shall be used for each test, one having the minimum thickness and one having the maximum thickness specified in the manufacturer’s instructions. 4.8 Loading pad A rigid circular object, 100 mm in diameter with a flat face and 12 mm edge radius. It shall be free to pivot (e.g. mounted on a ball joint). 4.9 Bouncing test machine A device which can apply a repeated upward force capable of raising test masses with a loading pad (4.8) intended to transmit impulses to the underside of the sitting surface with a cycle time of (60 ± 3) s per 60 cycles at constant interval. The device shall be capable of applying an upward force from the rest position up to (5 ± 2) mm above the rest position and of moving up to 20 mm below the rest position. The loading pad (4.8) shall not remain in contact with the sitting surface during downward movement. 4.10 Test bar A metal bar having a length at least the width of the table mounted chair, a cross section of 25 mm × 25 mm and with a mass of 750 g. 5 General 5.1 General requirements If the product has more than one function covered by different European Standards, the relevant European Standards shall apply. 5.2 Product conditioning Before testing, any fabrics used shall be cleaned or washed and dried twice in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. After the conditioning any fabrics shall be reassembled on the product in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The sample shall be conditioned at a temperature of (23 ± 5) °C for at least 2 h prior to tests. 5.3 Test conditions The tests shall be carried out at a temperature of (20 ± 5) °C. The tests are designed to be applied to a table mounted chair that is fully assembled according to manufacturer’s instructions and ready for use. If the instructions allow for different adjustments or configurations of components (e.g. inclination of the backrest), the most onerous combination shall be used for each test, unless otherwise specified in the test method. Each requirement where attachment of the table mounted chair on the test surface is necessary should be assessed by attaching the table mounted chair both on the minimum and maximum thickness surfaces (see 4.7).

EN 1272:2017 (E) 13 5.4 Application of forces The forces in the static load tests shall be applied sufficiently slowly to ensure that negligible dynamic force is applied. 5.5 Tolerances Unless otherwise stated, the following tolerances apply: — Forces: ±5 % of the nominal force; — Masses: ±0,5 % of the nominal mass; — Dimensions: ±1,0 mm of the nominal dimension; — Angles: ±2° of the nominal angle; — Positioning of loading pads: ±5 mm; — Duration of forces: ±1 s.
The tests are described in terms of the application of forces. Masses can however be used: 1 kg mass may be used for 10 N force. Unless otherwise specified, the test forces may be applied by any suitable device which does not adversely affect the results. 5.6 Order of test Unless otherwise stated the requirements of Clause 8 shall be assessed on the same table mounted chair in the order listed in this standard. 6 Chemical hazards 6.1 General If testing is required, a separate unconditioned sample shall be used for the tests in Clause 6. 6.2 Migration of certain elements (see A.2) The migration of elements from materials on exterior surfaces shall not exceed the limits listed in Table 1.
