EN 16780:2018(E) 4 European foreword This document (EN 16780:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 248 “Textiles and textile products”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2019, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2019. 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 has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. Following the publication and implementation of this document in CEN member countries, it has been agreed by CEN TC 248 that there should be an 18 month transition period from the date of availability to allow manufacturers to develop and produce garments that conform to the standard. This period is also to allow the supply chain, from manufacturer through to the consumer, to be cleared of non-conforming children's cot bumpers. 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. SIST EN 16780:2018



EN 16780:2018 (E) 5 Introduction The European Commission Mandate N° M/497, followed by Product and Service safety in the Directorate-General Health and Consumers, under the title “Standardisation mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI on the safety of child-care articles; Cluster 2- risks in the sleeping environment; Mattresses for cots, cot bumpers, suspended beds for children, duvets for children, sleep bags for children”, issued on 2011-10-20 and accepted by CEN BT on 2011-12-20, requested that CEN develop standards or specifications including safety requirements and test methods, warnings and instructions to adult users in order to address the possible hazard posed by these products. The aim of this European Standard is to minimize the main risks posed by products in the sleep environment of babies and young children, such as: — internal asphyxiation (choking); — entrapment; — strangulation; — external asphyxiation (suffocation); — flammability; — injuries due to falls; — injuries due to ingestion of small parts; — injuries due to chemicals. For the development of this document, attention was paid to: — the child’s stages of development (age, height, weight, ability, etc.). Cot bumpers were studied in relation to children up to 3 years of age; — the intended or foreseeable use of the product, bearing in mind a child’s behaviour. Such behaviour exposes children to injury in ways that differ from those of adults, making children a particularly vulnerable group in society; — the hazard presented by the product in the circumstances under which the product and the child come into contact with each other. IMPORTANT — In order to comply with the essential safety requirements, this document is hazard based. As this document only deals with a particular textile child-care article, i.e. cot bumpers, design characteristics have been specified only when necessary in order to introduce inherently safe design. These characteristics have been specified in a manner which allows compliance to be checked by interested parties, from designers to market surveillance authority officers. SIST EN 16780:2018



EN 16780:2018(E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for the safety of children's cot bumpers used in the children's sleeping environment (i.e. not under supervision) when sleeping in a cot or similar product (e.g. crib/cradle) in which a child is contained. NOTE The informative Annex C lists topics of further investigation which might lead to necessary improvement of the safety requirements of cot bumpers. If a part of the children's cot bumpers is designed to offer additional function (e.g. play function), this part will, in addition to the following requirements, be subjected to safety requirements related to relevant standards (see A.1). 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

NOTE The test method is referred to in 4.2.4.2. 4.1.5 Touch and close fasteners 4.1.5.1 When touch and close fasteners are used and fastened, they shall be positioned external to the cot (see A.3.5.1). 4.1.5.2 Pieces of touch and close fasteners shall be die cut with rounded corners to reduce the risk of scratching (see A.3.5.1). 4.1.5.3 Adhesive touch and close fasteners (i.e. adhesive part glued to the cot) shall not to be used to attach the cot bumper to the cot (see A.3.4). 4.1.6 Threads (including cot bumpers seams) 4.1.6.1 Single thread chain stitches, as described in ISO 4915, are not permitted (see A.3.1.2). 4.1.6.2 Seams shall have a seam allowance (distance between the fabric edge and sewing line) of no less than 5 mm (see A.3.3.1). 4.1.6.3 Seams shall be sewn so as to meet one of the following conditions (see A.3.1.2, A.3.3.1): a) a minimum of 10 stitches per 3 cm; b) if fewer than 10 stitches per 3 cm is used then the seam shall be tested as follows: Use clamps with jaws to which discs with a diameter of 19 mm are affixed. Attach the clamps not less than 30 mm apart and equidistant to the seam. Gradually apply a force of (70 ± 2) N between the two clamps over a period of approximately 5 s. Maintain the force for 10 s. Apply the test to this seam only once. Determine whether the front part of the 12 mm probe (see Figure 1) can be inserted through any one opening in the seam, using a maximum force of 10 N. NOTE Decorative stitches and quilting stitches are excluded from this requirement.
Figure 1 — Test Probe for seams 4.1.6.4 For exposed faces of the article, the maximum length of uncut float threads or uncut stitches shall be 10mm, and the maximum length for cut threads or cut stitches shall be 20 mm (see A.3.1.2). 4.1.6.5 Monofilament threads shall not be used (see A.3.1.2). 4.1.6.6 Buttons shall not be attached by chain stitch.
