Unless otherwise specified, the test forces may be applied by any suitable device which does not adversely affect the results. 5.5 Order of tests Unless otherwise stated in the test methods, the tests shall be carried out on the same infant swing in the order listed in this standard. 6 Chemical hazards – migration of certain elements The migration of synthetic or natural elements from coatings of paint, varnish, lacquer, polymer and similar coatings on exterior surfaces shall not exceed the following amounts: Antimony: 60 mg/kg Arsenic:
25 mg/kg Barium:
1 000 mg/kg Cadmium: 75 mg/kg Chromium: 60 mg/kg SIST EN 16232:2013

90 mg/kg Mercury:
60 mg/kg Selenium: 500 mg/kg These limits shall be verified in accordance with the test method given in EN 71-3:1994. Where a surface is coated with a multi-layer of paint or similar coating, the test sample shall not include the base material. A separate sample may be used for these tests. 7 Thermal hazards Fabrics shall not produce a surface flash when applying a flame as described in EN 1103. A separate sample may be used for these tests. 8 Mechanical hazards 8.1 General 8.1.1 Determination of the junction line The junction line is determined as in Figure 7.

Key LL junction line CL vertical projection of C on the hammock Figure 8 — Junction line for infant swings in form of a hammock 8.1.2 Determination of protected volume 8.1.2.1 General The protected volume is determined as follows. Place articulated test mass (see 4.1) on the seat unit with part 1 against the seat and with part 2 against the backrest with the hinge aligned with the junction line and the longitudinal axis of the test mass aligned with the longitudinal axis of the seat unit as shown in Figure 9. The protected volume is the space around the test mass defined by a part of a cylinder with its main axis along the projection of the junction line on the top surface of the test mass, a radius of 330 mm and a width of 350 mm on each side from the longitudinal axis of the test mass as shown in Figure 9. The area located behind the backrest and the area located underneath the seat is outside of the protected volume. The width of the protected volume may be reduced by the presence of protective barriers complying with 8.1.2.2. If another barrier (e.g. mesh or fabric decoration …) does not comply with 8.1.2.2, the full protected volume as described above shall be considered. See A.2. SIST EN 16232:2013

NOTE The measurement of dimensions of protective barriers is taken without removing the articulated test mass from the product. Dimensions in millimetres

Restrain the articulated test mass with the restraint system and adjust the restraint system as close as possible to the size of the test mass. Any movement of the test mass shall be avoided using wedges of negligible mass. Hang a mass of 9 kg within 20 mm from the most external edge of the seat along the longitudinal axis of the seat (see Figure 13 a). If the most external edge of the seat does not lie on the longitudinal axis, suitable means of negligible mass shall be used to hang the mass within 20 mm from the projection of the most external edge of the seat on the lo
