Child care articles - Baby walking frames - Safety requirements and test methods
This document specifies safety requirements and test methods for baby walking frames into which a child is placed, and intended to be used from when the child is able to sit up by itself until the child is able to walk by itself.
This document does not apply to baby walking frames for therapeutic and curative purposes and to those baby walking frames relying on inflatable parts to support the child.
Toys (e.g. ride on toys, push-along toys, usually intended for children able to walk unaided) are not covered by this document.
If a baby walking frame has several functions or can be converted into another function the relevant European standards apply to it.
Artikel für Säuglinge und Kleinkinder - Kinderlaufhilfen - Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Dieses Dokument legt die sicherheitstechnischen Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Kinderlaufhilfen fest, die von einem Alter an verwendbar sind, in dem das Kind schon selbstständig sitzen kann, bis zu dem Alter, in dem es selbstständig laufen kann.
Dieses Dokument ist nicht anwendbar für Kinderlaufhilfen zu therapeutischen Zwecken und Heilbehandlungen und für Kinderlaufhilfen, bei denen das Kind von aufblasbaren Teilen gestützt wird.
Spielzeuge (z. B. Aufsitzspielzeuge oder Rutschspielzeuge, die gewöhnlich für Kinder zum Laufen ohne Unterstützung vorgesehen sind) werden in diesem Dokument nicht behandelt.
Wenn eine Kinderlaufhilfe mehrere Funktionen hat oder zu einer anderen Funktion umgebaut werden kann, gelten dafür die zutreffenden Europäischen Normen.

Izdelki za otroke - Hojce - Varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode (vključno z dopolnilom A1)
Ta dokument določa varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode za hojce, v katere se namesti otrok ter so namenjene uporabi od trenutka, ko lahko otrok sedi samostojno, do trenutka, ko začne hoditi.
Ne uporablja se za hojce za terapevtske namene in namene zdravljenja ter hojce, ki podpirajo otroka s pomočjo napihljivih delov.
Igrače (npr. igrače za vožnjo, igrače za potiskanje, običajno namenjene otrokom, ki hodijo samostojno) niso zajete v tem dokumentu.
Če ima hojca več funkcij ali je mogoče njeno funkcijo spremeniti, se zanjo uporabljajo ustrezni evropski standardi.

Introduction
The purpose of this document is to reduce the risk of accidents.
It is stressed that this document cannot eliminate all possible risks to children using such a product and
that carer control is of paramount importance. Accidents are mainly due to carer(s) not anticipating the
extra reach and speed that children can achieve in the baby walking frame.
It is essential that all warnings and instructions specified in this standard are clearly given by the
manufacturer, to ensure that the baby walking frame can be used safely and correctly.
1 Scope
This document specifies safety requirements and test methods for baby walking frames into which a child
is placed, and intended to be used from when the child is able to sit up by itself until the child is able to
walk by itself.
This document does not apply to baby walking frames for therapeutic and curative purposes and to those
baby walking frames relying on inflatable parts to support the child.
Toys (e.g. ride on toys, push-along toys, usually intended for children able to walk unaided) are not

8.1 Entrapment hazards (see A.4.1)
8.1.1 Requirements
When tested in accordance with 8.1.2, there shall be no completely bounded openings between 7 mm and
12 mm unless the depth is less than 10 mm or unless the shape assessment probe (see 4.4.2) enters when
tested in accordance with 8.1.2.
When tested in accordance with 8.1.2, there shall be no openings in mesh that allow the test probe for
mesh (see 4.4.1) to penetrate to the 7 mm diameter section.
The test shall be carried out with the product in any intended position of use.
This requirement does not apply to the castors, wheels, the whole base of the baby walking frame, and to
any other part of the underside of the tray more than 100 mm from the vertical projection of the outer
edge (see Figure 12).
