Textile child care articles - Safety requirements and test methods for children's cot bumpers
Also Known As:
To guarantee the security of kids using cot bumpers, the European Commission created the DIN EN 16780 standard. The standard, which attempts to equip manufacturers with safety criteria and test procedures, was established in response to the possible hazard posed by these goods.
The standard addresses cot bumpers' design, structure, and material choices, among other things. To reduce the risk of entrapment or asphyxia, it offers standards for the size, design, and placement of the cot bumpers. In order to guarantee long-term safety, the standard also outlines standards for the product's strength and durability.
The DIN EN 16780 standard also contains test procedures that manufacturers can employ to determine whether the safety standards are being followed. These tests might comprise determining how flammable the fabric is, examining the sturdiness of the attachments, performing chemical tests to make sure no dangerous compounds are present, and gauging the product's resistance to impact.
