Figure 2 — Chart of a sequential child test procedure (after demonstration) for locking mechanism 4.2.2.4 Full test If a sequential procedure is not used and the full number of children is tested, the results shall be assessed in accordance with the requirements laid down in 4.2.2.2. 4.2.2.5 Additional information to be recorded Any other information deemed to be useful in assessing the interpretation of the result, such as the time required for children to disengage the locking mechanism and, where appropriate, to engage it properly, the method used by children to disengage it, etc. shall be recorded. 4.3 Mechanical function and structural integrity The locking device shall maintain its mechanical properties throughout its expected lifetime. The manufacturer shall indicate the type(s) of cupboards and drawers including the materials (e.g. glass, aluminium, PVC, wood) for which the locking device is or is not suitable. In particular, if fixings (e.g. screws) are provided with the locking device, the manufacturer shall ensure that they are suitable for the recommended material(s). If fixings are not provided, there shall be clear guidance on the type of fixings to be used with the device (see 4.6). When tested according to 5.5.1 and 5.5.4, none of the tested items or any part of the items shall be broken or have any visible cracks or permanent deformation or disengage. All devices shall be fully functional during and after the tests. For devices that are intended to re-engage automatically the automatic re-engagement function shall still operate after completion of the tests. For all locking devices when the product is mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, the maximum gap into which a child could insert its fingers shall not exceed 30 mm for a depth of more than 10 mm when tested in accordance with 5.5.5.
