There shall be no accessible openings in mesh, in the inner and upper surface that supports the child and on the exterior side of the bath tub up to 100 mm from the bath tub rim, that allow the test probe for mesh, 4.1.1, to penetrate up to the 7 mm diameter section, when tested in accordance with 7.2.1.2. The test shall be carried out with the product in any intended position of use without any test mass and with test mass A (see 4.3). 7.2.1.2 Test method Check whether the 7 mm probe, 4.1.1, with an applied force of up to 30 N, enters 10 mm or more into any accessible completely bounded opening in any possible orientation. If the 7 mm probe enters 10 mm or more, then the 12 mm probe, 4.1.1, shall also enter 10 mm or more with an applied force of up to 5 N. If the 7 mm probe enters with an applied force of up to 30 N but the 12 mm probe does not enter 10 mm or more with an applied force of up to 5 N, check whether the 12 mm shape assessment probe (see 4.1.2) enters with an applied force of up to 5 N. Check whether the test probe for mesh, 4.1.1, with an applied force of up to 30 N, penetrates accessible openings in mesh up to the 7 mm diameter section. SIST EN 17072:2019

Movement due to elasticity of materials shall not be considered as compression hazard. SIST EN 17072:2019

The peripheral dimension of a loop shall be measured while a 25 N tensile force is applied. 7.5 Choking and ingestion hazards 7.5.1 Requirements Any component or filling material, in the inner and upper surface that supports the child and on the exterior side of the bath tub up to 100 mm from the bath tub rim, that is considered able to be gripped by a child in accordance with 7.5.2.1 shall be tested in accordance with 7.5.2.2 and 7.5.2.3. Any component or part of a component or filling material that is removed shall not fit wholly in any orientation, without compressing or manipulating it, within the small parts cylinder specified in 4.4. Foam pads with a thickness lower than 2 mm are excluded from these requirements. 7.5.2 Test methods 7.5.2.1 Assessment of child’s ability to grip components A component is considered to be able to be gripped if the child can grip the component between its thumb and forefinger or between its teeth.
