SamplesTests shall be conducted on one chassis unless otherwise indicated.Vehicles with multiple places for pram bodies and/or seat units shall comply with all applicable requirements inany possible arrangement. If a vehicle can be equipped with an additional seat unit or the manufacturerrecommends such a seat unit for the vehicle, it shall conform to this standard.SIST EN 1888:2003

can be carried out in any order. When thesequence number of the test, N, has a value of 0, this means that the test's order has no influence in theconsidered sequence ; thus the test can be carried out in any order in this sequence.4.3 Principle of the most onerous conditionEach test shall be conducted with the vehicle in the most onerous condition for that test in terms of :-the choice and number of seat units and/or pram bodies attached to the chassis ;-the addition of any additional seat units approved by the manufacturer ;-the use of test mass A or B (see Figures 2 and 3) in each place that a child can occupy (at least one testmass shall be used in one place) ;SIST EN 1888:2003

allowed in the manufacturer's instructions, but not less than 2 kg ;-the addition (or not) of any other accessories supplied for use with the vehicle ;-the adjustment of seat units, handles and any other adjustable features or accessories, or any otheroptional arrangement of the vehicle allowed in the manufacturer's instructions or otherwise approved bythe manufacturer.NOTEThe heaviest loads do not always produce the most onerous conditions.4.4 Tolerances and test conditionsUnless otherwise specified, all forces shall be measured to a limit deviation of ± 5 %, all masses to a limitdeviation of ± 1 %, all angles to a limit deviation of ± 1° and all dimensions to a limit deviation of ± 0,5 mm.These tolerances are applicable only to the equipment used for the tests.The vehicle shall be conditioned at a temperature of (23 ± 5) °C for at least 2 h prior to tests. All tests shall becarried out at a temperature of (23 ± 10) °C unless otherwise specified.4.5 Test equipment4.5.1 Application of test forcesUnless otherwise specified, the test forces shall be applied by any device normally used.4.5.2 Test masses4.5.2.1 GeneralUnless otherwise specified, the test masses shall be those given in 4.5.2.2, 4.5.2.3 and 4.5.2.4.Damage to fabric may occur as a result of abrasion by the test masses during tests. This damage should beignored. Damage can be minimized by using a convenient means of negligible mass. Where seat damage isnot caused by abrasion it constitutes a structural failure.4.5.2.2 Test mass ATest mass A is a rigid cylinder (160 ± 5) mm in diameter and (300 ± 5) mm in height, having a mass of)(,0100
9+ kg and with its centre of gravity in the centre of the cylinder. All edges shall have a radius of(5 ± 1) mm. Two anchorage points shall be provided, positioned (150 ± 2,5) mm from the base and at 180° toeach other around the circumference (see Figure 2).SIST EN 1888:2003

attachment device(s)Any
attachment device(s) shall fulfil at least one of the following requirements :- a minimum force of 50 N is required to release the
attachment device attaching the pram body or seatunit
to the chassis ;- at least 2 consecutive actions on the same attachment
device are required to release it, the first of whichshall be maintained while the second is carried out ;- at least 2 separate simultaneous actions are required to release the attachment device.SIST EN 1888:2003
