1 Scope This European Standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for chair mounted seats intended to be fixed on an adult chair to raise the sitting position of a child able to sit unaided up to an age of 3 years or a maximum weight of 15 kg. The European Standard does not apply to products only aimed at restraining the child on a chair without raising the child's sitting position. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 71-3:1994, Safety of toys — Part 3: Migration of certain elements EN 1103, Textiles — Fabrics for apparel — Detailed procedure to determine the burning behaviour EN ISO 2439, Flexible cellular polymeric materials — Determination of hardness (indentation technique) (ISO 2439) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1
chair attachment system system designed to attach the chair mounted seat to the adult chair
3.2
restraint system system to restrain the child within the chair mounted seat 3.3
waist restraint device to restrain the child in the waist area 3.4
crotch restraint device to fit between the child’s legs 4 Test equipment 4.1 Test probes for finger entrapment Probes made from plastics or other hard, smooth material of diameters 701,0− mm and 121,00+ mm with a full hemispherical end that can be mounted on a force-measuring device, see Figure 1.

5.3 Application of forces The forces in the static load tests shall be applied sufficiently slowly to ensure that negligible dynamic force is applied. 5.4 Tolerances Unless otherwise stated, the following tolerances apply:  Forces:
± 5 % of the nominal force;  Masses:
± 0,5 % of the nominal mass;  Dimensions:
± 1,0 mm of the nominal dimension;  Angles:
± 2° of the nominal angle;  Positioning of loading pads:
± 5 mm;  Duration of forces:
± 1 s.
The tests are described in terms of the application of forces. Masses can however be used: 1 kg mass may be used for 10 N force. Unless otherwise specified, the test forces may be applied by any suitable device which does not adversely affect the results. 5.5 Order of test Unless otherwise stated, the requirements of Clause 8 shall be assessed on the same chair mounted seat in the order listed in this standard. 6 Chemical hazards - Migration of certain elements (see A.2) The migration of 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:
1000 mg/kg Cadmium: 75 mg/kg Chromium: 60 mg/kg Lead:
90 mg/kg Mercury:
60 mg/kg Selenium: 500 mg/kg
Restraint system and chair attachment system are excluded from the above requirements. Monofilament threads shall not be used as cords, ribbons and similar parts, loops or as sewing threads.
8.4.2 Test method The length of a cord, ribbon or similar part is measured from the fixing point on the chair mounted seat to the free end of the cord, ribbon or similar part while a 25 N tensile force is applied. The peripheral dimensio
