ASTM F1169-19 PDF Download

A consumer safety specification known as ASTM F1169-19 specifies the performance criteria and testing methods for full-size baby cribs. The standard aims to protect the cribs' structural integrity and handle the design specifications for entanglement on corner post extensions. It also specifies the specifications for instructional materials and warning labels.

The standard includes a number of compliance and testing domains. This involves assessing the vertical impact properties of the mattress support system, the drop and stationary sides of the crib's (static and cyclic) properties, the torque properties of the spindles and slats on the side of the crib, the drop and folding side latches, and the plastic teething rail.

The standard also states that it covers extras like bassinets, changing tables, or comparable objects that are in the occupant retention area when used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The applicable requirements of ASTM International standards covering certain accessories, such as Consumer Safety Specification F2388, must be met by these accessories.

The standard does not apply to inflatable items, and any crib made after the approval date must meet all the specifications listed in the specification in order to be considered compliant.
