Child care articles - Soother holder - Safety requirements and test methods; German version FprEN 12586:2024
Abstract
This European Standard specifies safety requirements relating to materials, construction, performance, packaging and labelling of soother holders (see B.1).It includes test methods for the mechanical and chemical requirements specified.All products that are intended to connect and disconnect a soother for babies and young children with any other product are included in the scope of this European Standard. The safety requirements of these other products are not considered in this standard.This European Standard is intended to provide safety requirements for soother holders. These are connecting devices with the holder at one end which retains the soother and the other end has a clasp that attaches to any other product e.g. the child's garment.Where a soother holder has been classified as a toy or considered to have significant play value then the soother holder will have to meet the safety requirements for toys as stated in the Toy Directive 2009/48/EC [6] in addition to those in this European Standard. The addition of decorations or providing animal shaped fasteners should not automatically make the soother holder a toy; however the addition of a toy component to the soother holder will require that both the soother holder and the toy meet the safety requirements as stated in the Toy Directive. Where there is doubt concerning classification of a soother holder as a toy then advice should be sought from an EU Toy Notified Body or the Member State's Competent Authority for toys (see B.2).
