Izdelki za otroke - Otroški vozički - 1. del: Otroški vozički s sedežem in otroški vozički s košaro

Ta osnutek evropskega standarda določa varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode za otroške vozičke, namenjene prevozu enega ali več otrok, ki tehtajo do 15 kg, pri čemer lahko na morebitno pritrjeno ploščad stopi otrok, ki tehta do 20 kg.
Ta osnutek evropskega standarda ne zajema igrač, nakupovalnih vozičkov, opreme za nošenje otroka, opremljene s kolesi, otroških vozičkov, ki jih poganja motor, in vozičkov, namenjenih otrokom s posebnimi potrebami.
Kadar obstajajo dodatni izdelki, ki se pritrdijo na otroški voziček, naj bi se izvedla analiza nevarnosti in tveganj, da se opredelijo vse morebitne nevarnosti.
Kadar ima otroški voziček ali kateri koli del otroškega vozička več funkcij ali ga je mogoče spremeniti v drugo funkcijo, mora biti skladen z ustreznimi standardi.

t Ů s {ä Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 1888:2012. In comparison with this EN 1888:2012, the significant technical changes relate to the following issues: a) chemical hazards; b) entrapment hazards; c) hazards from moving parts; d) entanglement hazards; e) parking device test method; f) stability of the vehicle; g) introduction of an informative Annex E giving relevant translations for warning sentences; h) introduction of an informative Annex D giving information on the assessment of moving parts of canopies; i) introduction of an informative Annex G giving information on the arrangement of approval marks for car seats. In November 2014, the European Working Group decided to split EN 1888 into different parts to clearly treat in a different way, new products or new functions of wheeled child conveyances. EN 1888 is currently composed with the following parts: — EN 1888-1, Child care articles — Wheeled child conveyances — Part 1: Pushchairs and prams; — EN 1888-2, Child care articles — Wheeled child conveyances — Part 2: Pushchairs for children above 15 kg up to 22 kg. EN 1888 therefore becomes EN 1888-1 and is only applicable to pushchairs and prams. It will be used as a reference in future parts. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
