DIN Standards Committee Safety Design Principles

Overview

This European Standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for products which are intended for the purpose of carrying a child in a lying position one-handedly by means of handle(s) and for stands which may be used in conjunction with these products. The safety requirements specified in this European Standard are intended to ensure that the child is not in danger while being carried and sleeping during normal use of the products and under consideration of the predictable behaviour of the child. These products are intended for a child who cannot sit unaided, roll over or push up on its hands and knees, with a maximum weight of 9 kg. Hereafter in this European Standard, these products are called "carry cots". These include all types of carry cots with rigid or soft sides as well as moses baskets and any similar products. Any other functions of the product shall comply with the relevant European Standards. DIN EN 1466 does not cover the requirements regarding children with special needs. As a testing standard, it is primarily intended for testing laboratories and covers aspects of product safety of carry cots and stands. The committee responsible for this standard is Working Committee NA 095-05-03 AA "Artikel für Säuglinge und Kleinkinder - Sitzen, Pflegen, Schützen, Liegen und Transportieren" ("Child use and care articles - Seating and body care, protection, lying down and transportation") at DIN.
