EN 12790:2002 (E)3ForewordThis document (EN 12790:2002) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 252 “Child and use carearticles”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text orby endorsement, at the latest by April 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest byApril 2003.This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the EuropeanFree Trade Association.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the followingcountries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain,Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.SIST EN 12790:2003



EN 12790:2002 (E)41 ScopeThis standard specifies safety requirements and the corresponding test methods for fixed or folding reclinedcradles intended for children up to 6 months and or up to a weight of 9 kg.2 Normative referencesThis standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normativereferences are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For datedreferences, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this standard only whenincorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred toapplies.EN 71-1, Safety of toys - Part 1 : Mechanical and physical properties.EN 71-2, Safety of toys - Part 2 : Flammability.EN 71-3, Safety of toys - Part 3 : Migration of certain elements.EN 438-1, Decorative high-pressure laminates (HPL) - Sheets based on thermosetting resins –Part 1 : Specifications (ISO 4586-1:1987, modified).ISO 48, Rubber, vulcanised or thermoplastic - Determination of hardness (Hardness between 10 IRHD and100 IRHD)3 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this standard, the following terms and definitions apply.3.1reclined cradledevice intended for accommodate a child in a reclined position. It can be either a static, rocker or bouncer type orany combination of these. These may have adjustable backs3.1.1staticarticle that does not bounce or rock3.1.2rocker3.1.3bouncerarticle that allows the child to bounce due to

EN 12790:2002 (E)6¾ place the test mass C device, see annex C, in the centre of the reclined cradle, its lower edge on the junctionline with the ball chain at the top and to the right side. If the reclined cradle is adjustable it shall be adjusted tothe most reclined position, as shown in figure 2 ;¾ the test device shall be restrained in position by the restraint system ;¾ the outer limit of the protected volume is defined by the outside of the ball at the end of the chain when movedin all directions while keeping the chain taught. All that volume between this outer limit and the reclined cradleis the protected volume ;¾ the measurement shall be repeated first with the test device positioned to the left side. Then repeat themeasurement on both sides with the reclined cradle adjusted to the most up right position.4 Properties of materials4.1 Chemical propertiesThe surface of any parts, plastic coatings or finishes shall comply with EN 71-3.4.2 Surface flashThere shall be no parts of the reclined cradle that can give rise to surface flash (as e.g. plush surfaces), whentested in accordance with EN 71-2.5 Construction5.1 GeneralIf not otherwise stated, all forces shall have an accuracy of ± 5 %, all masses an accuracy of ± 0,5 % ,alldimensions an accuracy of ± 0,5 mm and all angles ± 0,5°.Where the test masses in annex A are used, they shall be positioned in the reclined cradle as shown in figure 2and retained by the restraint system.The following requirements shall be fulfilled both before and after washing or cleaning and drying the fabrics twicein accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Any resulting shrinkage in the fabric covering materials shall notprevent them from being refitted, if removable, and shall not show any damage to the seams or fabrics that mayimpair the reclined cradles performance during testing.SIST EN 12790:2003



EN 12790:2002 (E)7KeyL)Junction lineFigure 2 - Positioning of the test mass5.2 Openings within the protected volumeThe reclined cradles shall have no open ended tubes in which a child’s finger can be trapped.There shall be no holes, openings or gaps with a width greater than 5 mm and less than 12 mm unless the depth ofpenetration is less than 10 mm on the support surface for the child.Holes, openings and gaps shall be measured using the cone applying a force of up to 30 N to the 5 mm cone andup to 5 N to the 12 mm cone.Test mass C given in annex C shall be placed in the product so that its base is flush with the junction line and in themiddle of the width before the holes, openings and gaps are measured.The assessment shall be undertaken with the product in a fixed position of use.Fastenings or restraint systems should be in the closed position when the product is assessed.5.3 Edges, points and cornersAll accessible edges, corners and protruding parts shall be designed so as to reduce the risk of inflicting wounds.Accessible edges and corners shall either comply with the examples given in figures 3a), 3b) or 3c), or if arisingfrom a wall thickness smaller than 4 mm, with one of the following requirements :¾ be chamfered or rounded ;¾ be folded, rolled or spiralled as shown in figure 3d) ;¾ be protected with a plastic coating or other adequate means as shown in figure 3e).All surfaces shall be smooth and free from burrs.SIST EN 12790:2003
