(25 ± 2) N shall be applied in such a way that the longest length is achieved. All configurations shall be measured in order to ascertain the longest length excluding the garment fastener. In all cases, measurements shall be made under a tensile force of (25 ± 2) N. If the soother is attached to the strap by press studs, touch-and-close or similar devices, these shall be undone and the measurement shall be made from the end of the free strap to the last piece of strap or flexible attachment device at the garment fastener, but excluding the length of the garment fastener (see Figure 5). If the soother is attached to the strap by a permanently attached soother fastener, the measurement shall be made from the extreme end of the soother fastener, furthest from the strap, to the last piece of strap or flexible attachment device at the garment fastener but excluding the length of the garment fastener (see Figure 6). In addition to these measurements, if a supplementary component is attached to the strap or to a permanently attached soother fastener then the measurement shall be made from the extreme end of the supplementary component, furthest from the strap to the furthest end of the soother fastener (see Figure 7 and Figure 8). !If the strap contains a double strand for all or part of its length, then the length of any part containing a loop shall be tested under a tensile force of (25 ± 2) N. If the strap also contains a single strand element or another part in the form of a loop (see Figure 9) these may be removed before testing. Each part of the strap containing a loop shall be tested in isolation from any other part."

1 000 cycles from opening to closing. A (3 ± 0,3) mm test plate with a Shore A hardness of 40 ± 5 shall be placed between the jaws. The duration of each cycle shall be (5 ± 2) s. The test may be carried out either manually or using a suitable test fixture. Some examples of the opening and closing mechanisms are shown in !Figure 14". After this test the garment fastener shall be tested for tensile strength in accordance with 6.1.7. SIST EN 12586:2008+A1:2011

The tensile force shall be applied to one component of the holder whilst another part is firmly held. A preload of (5 ± 2) N shall be applied to align the specimen and then the force shall be increased to (90 ± 5) N at a crosshead speed of (200 ± 5) mm/min and maintained at that load for (10 ± 0,5) s. Clamps or other devices shall hold the component securely during the test without giving rise to damage which might affect the test result. Any result where such damage occurs shall be disregarded.

Additional tests shall be carried out to ensure the integrity of all components. All single components shall be tested and also every possible combination of pairs of components, if this has not been carried out in other tests. As the purpose of these series of tests is to reduce the risk of the soother holder coming apart, the force shall be applied in the most onerous position. 6.1.7.2 Test along the length of the soother holder Tensile tests shall be carried out on all the above pairs of components (if fitted) by exerting the force along the length of the soother holder. Where the soother fastener is manufactured as a separate item but is permanently fixed to the strap/chain it is permissible for the fastener to open below (90 ± 5) N and this shall not be counted as a failure. If the fastener does open the test shall be continued until the limit is reached. 6.1.7.3 Test at right angles to the main axis of the soother holder Tensile tests shall be carried out as described in 6.1.7.2 but by holding the garment fastener or soother fastener at right angles to the direction in 6.1.7.2. Depending on the design of the parts of the soother holder there may be more than one way in which a force can be exerted at right angles to that in 6.1.7.2. Tests shall be carried out in all these directions. Where the soother fastener is manufactured as a separate item but is permanently fixed to the strap/chain it is permissible for the fastener to open below (90 ± 5) N and this shall not be counted as a failure. If the fastener does open the test shall be continued until the limit is reached. 6.1.8 Finger traps test (see 5.1.4.1) Using a 5,5 mm probe (see !Figure 15") measure the penetration of any accessible hole. If the unhindered penetration is more than 10 mm, repeat using a 12 mm diameter probe. SIST EN 12586:2008+A1:2011

Orientate the part to be tested (fastener or supplementary component) in a position that would most likely permit the entry of the part through the slot in the guide. Place the part in the slot so that the only force on the fastener or supplementary component is the force due to its mass. Observe whether any part of the fastener or supplementary component protrudes past the base of the guide. If the fastener is permanently attached to the strap, the penetration of the strap past the base of the guide shall be ignored. If any supplementary component has a length of strap, then the penetration of the strap past the base of the guide shall be ignored. SIST EN 12586:2008+A1:2011
