Playpens for Domestic Use - Safety Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
For playpens and folding playpens that are intended for home use, the DIN EN 12227 standard specifies safety standards and test procedures. The specification is applicable to playpens made for kids whose maximum body weight is 15 kg.
The goal of the standard is to guarantee that playpens adhere to a set of safety requirements in order to lower the possibility of accidents or child injuries. It outlines specifications for the playpens' structural stability and integrity as well as standards for the gaps and openings to prevent kids from getting caught or tangled. The standard also specifies requirements for the security of the hinges and locking mechanisms, as well as the materials used to build the playpen.
Additionally, manufacturers can assess the safety of their playpens using the test procedures specified in the DIN EN 12227 standard. In order to imitate real-world situations and determine whether the playpen can endure typical use without endangering the kid, these tests involve applying varying stresses and pressures to various components of the structure.
