ASTM F2907-22 PDF Download

In order to encourage safe use, the ASTM F2907-22 standard attempts to specify regulations for the functionality, testing, and marking of sling carriers. In order to hold up to two children on the chest of the caregiver in an upright or reclined position, sling carriers are classified as fabric or sewn fabric goods. Unless otherwise stated by the manufacturer, these carriers are normally used from full-term birth to a weight limit of 35 lbs.

The standard specifies a number of test procedures that should be used, including static load testing, dynamic load testing, adhesion testing, occupant retention testing, and testing of restraint systems. These tests on sling carriers allow for an evaluation of the goods' performance and safety.

The standard also outlines the necessary labeling and markings that must be present on sling carriers. These include adhering to the standard and making sure that any sling carriers created after the standard's approval date meet all of its specifications.

It's vital to remember that this standard does not cover mishaps or injuries brought on by interactions between the caregiver and kid while the sling carrier is in use or other people or things. The sling carriers themselves are generally in the spotlight in terms of their construction, design, and safety features.
