Child care articles - General safety guidelines - Part 5: Product information
Product information given in standards has a direct impact on safety. It should contribute to avoiding risks to the child. However, product information is not intended to compensate for design deficiencies and does not in itself make a product safer but is a means for the manufacturer to communicate with the user. Reasonable foreseeable misuse and risks of the product should be made explicit and adequate warnings be given.
All product information should be in the language(s) of the country in which the product is sold. It should be presented so that it is unambiguous, legible and easy to read and comprehend.
A risk analysis should be applied to identify those hazards for which safety-related product information is required.

La norme CEN/TR 13387-5:2023 sur les articles de soins pour enfants propose des lignes directrices générales de sécurité, en se concentrant spécifiquement sur l'information produit. L'objectif principal de cette norme est d'améliorer la communication entre les fabricants et les utilisateurs en fournissant des informations claires et précises qui contribuent à la sécurité des enfants. Le champ d'application de cette norme est particulièrement pertinent, car elle souligne l'importance de l'information sur les produits dans le cadre de la sécurité des enfants. Les lignes directrices stipulent que l'information fournie doit non seulement être accessible dans la langue du pays où le produit est vendu, mais également présentée de manière à être sans ambiguïté, lisible et facile à comprendre. Cela représente un atout majeur pour assurer que les utilisateurs, souvent des parents ou des gardiens, puissent correctement interpréter les avertissements et recommandations associés à un article de soin pour enfant. Par ailleurs, la norme insiste sur la nécessité d'effectuer une analyse de risque pour identifier les dangers qui justifient des informations relatives à la sécurité. Cette approche proactive est essentielle pour minimiser les risques de mauvaise utilisation prévisible, permettant ainsi de renforcer la sécurité globale des produits destinés aux enfants. Les mises en garde appropriées doivent être explicites, garantissant que les utilisateurs sont pleinement conscients des potentielles dangers. En somme, CEN/TR 13387-5:2023 constitue un guide indispensable pour les fabricants souhaitant respecter les normes de sécurité tout en améliorant la communication avec les utilisateurs. Ce document rend donc compte de la responsabilité des fabricants en matière d'information produit, se positionnant comme un élément clé dans la prévention des accidents liés aux articles de soins pour enfants.
