8.1.2.2.4 Footholds on a continuous structure at an angle less than 550
Using either the left or right hand template, place the template with its marked face on any continuous structure inclined at an angle of less than 550 to the horizontaL Orientate either template, see Figure 2. to check whether any four triangles are obscured indicating a foothold; see Figure 20 for examples.
8.1.2.2.5 Footholds on a non-continuous structure at an angle of less than 55°
Using either the left or right hand template, place the template with its marked face on any non-continuous structure inclined at an angle of less than 55” to the horizontal. Orientate either template, see Figure 2. to check whether two or more triangles e obscured between the edges of the template and the bold lines on the template indicating a foothold; see Figure 21 for examples.
8.1.2.2.6 Footholds on wire. thin strUctures or simIlar parts at an angle less than 55°
Using either the left or right hand template, place the template with its marked face on any wire, thin structure or similar parts at an angle less than 55° to the horizontal. Check whether the wire, thin structure or similar part has a line of contact extending between the two bold lines marked along the template; see Figure 22 for examples.
8.1 .2.2.7 Footholds on an intersecting or adjacent structure where the second structure prevents slipping
Using either the left or right hand template, place the template with its marked face on any structure, thin structure or similM parts between 550 and 80° to the horizontal where there Is also a supporting structure. Orientate either template, see Figure 2. to check whether any four triangles are obscured Indicating a foothold; see Figure 23 for examples.
8.1.2.2.8 Footholds on rigid components covered by flexible materials
Where flexible materials or fabrics are covering rigid components, the tempiate is pushed against the flexible material or fabric with a horizontal force of up to 30 N acting along the longitudinal axis of the template. Orientate either the left hand or the right hand template, see Figure 2. to check whether any four tnangles are obscured by the rigid components indicating a foothold,
8.1.3 Size of openings
8.1.3.1 Requirements
When tested in accordance with 8.1.3.2. there shall be no openings that allow the hip pobe to pass completely through wtien applied from the Inside of the playpen.
See rationale in A.42.3.
8.1.3.2 Test method
Apply the hip probe. see 4 1. with a force in the longitudinal axis of the probe in any direction with a force up to 30 N into any opening accessible from inside the playpen,
8.1.4 Security of folding mechanisms
8.1.4.1 RequIrements
To avoid the hazards due to un.ntentional lease or operation by a child, one of the following conditions shall be fulfilled before and after testing in accordance with 8.1.4.2:
a) all locking mechanisms require a minimum force of 50 N; or
b) folding is only possible when two independent locking mechanisms are operated simultaneously or
C) there are two or more automatically engaging locking mechanisms that cannot be released by one single action; or
d) folding of the playpen requires two consecutive actions, the first of whidi shall be maintained while the second is carried out, where the weight of the child acts to prevent folding, the removal of the child can be considered as one action: or
e) have two locking mechanisms separated by a distance of at least 650 mm and requiring to be operated simultaneously.
Playpens that fold towards the inside shall be equipped with at least two locking mechanisms.
See rationale in A4 24
8.1.4.2 Test methods
With the playpen assembled for use i accordance with the manufacture?s Instructions unfold and fold the
playpen 300 tales.
8.2 RequIrements for castorsiwheels
Castors.wheels shall not be fitted except in the following configuration, either:
a) two or more castorslwheels and at least two other support points: or
b) at least four castorsiwtieels, of which at least two can be locked.
