Standards Development
This document specifies safety requirements and test methods for cribs (including cradles, suspended cribs and bedside sleepers) for domestic and non-domestic use. The requirements apply to cribs with a maximum internal length of crib base of 900 mm which are intended to provide sleeping accommodation for infants, until they are able to sit unaided or pull or push themselves up on their hands and knees. This document does not apply to electrical safety. It does not apply to cribs used for medical purposes or used in hospitals.
The proposed standard aims to establish unified safety criteria and standardized methodologies for assessing the safety of children's cribs, encompassing cradles, suspended cribs, and bedside sleepers. In recent years, the international trade of children's cribs has surged, posing significant challenges for importers and exporters due to the diverse product safety standards and testing methods across the globe. The anticipated outcome of this initiative is to alleviate these issues. Given that most children under 3 spend approximately half of their time sleeping, ensuring the safety and quality of cribs is paramount. It is essential to achieve uniformity in safety testing methods for the benefit of both consumers and testing organizations worldwide. Furthermore, we propose utilizing the existing EN 1130 standard as a reference point.
