EN 17072:2018 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies safety requirements and test methods for children’s bath tubs and stands and for non-standalone bathing aids that are designed and intended to be used only in conjunction with a children’s bath tub. This document does not cover children’s bath tubs and stands and non-standalone bathing aids designed for children with special needs. NOTE 1 Standalone bathing aids are covered in EN 17022. NOTE 2 Where the product has several functions or can be converted into another function it is due to comply with relevant standard(s). 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. 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, Safety of toys — Part 3: Migration of certain elements EN ISO 291, Plastics — Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing (ISO 291) ISO 7619-1, Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of indentation hardness — Part 1: Durometer method (Shore hardness) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

All products shall be conditioned for at least 24 h, in a standard atmosphere (as specified in EN ISO 291) at a temperature of (23 ± 2) °C and relative humidity of (50 ± 5) %. SIST EN 17072:2019



EN 17072:2018 (E) 15 5.2 Test conditions The tests shall be carried out at a temperature of (23 ± 5) °C. The tests are designed to be applied to a product that is fully assembled according to manufacturer’s instructions and in the normal position of use. If the instructions allow for different adjustments or configurations of components, the most onerous combination shall be used for each test, unless otherwise specified in the test method. When steel shots are used as a test mass, they can be put in bags that due to their dimensions and/or design do not affect the evenly distribution of the weight. 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; — Angles: ±2°; — 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 7 shall be assessed on the same product in the order listed in this standard. 6 Chemical hazards — Migration of certain elements (see A.2) The migration of elements from materials on exterior surfaces shall not exceed the limits listed below: Element

There shall be no accessible openings in mesh, in the inner and upper surface that supports the child and on the exterior side of the bath tub up to 100 mm from the bath tub rim, that allow the test probe for mesh, 4.1.1, to penetrate up to the 7 mm diameter section, when tested in accordance with 7.2.1.2. The test shall be carried out with the product in any intended position of use without any test mass and with test mass A (see 4.3). 7.2.1.2 Test method Check whether the 7 mm probe, 4.1.1, with an applied force of up to 30 N, enters 10 mm or more into any accessible completely bounded opening in any possible orientation. If the 7 mm probe enters 10 mm or more, then the 12 mm probe, 4.1.1, shall
