16 Annex A (informative) Rationale
A.1 General
A.2 Design hazards
A.2.1 Maximum dimensions: cot duvet dimensions relate to the cot dimensions, and are intended to keep the child’s head uncovered. Further information relating to the cot dimensions can be found in EN 716-1 (see 4.1. 2).
A.2.2 The Toy Safety directive (2009/48/EC) covers all items which have play value regardless of whether or not the play function is the primary function or not. All attachments and embellishments such as mirrors, rattles or squeakers and other elemen…
A.2.3 Pockets could provide a means of entrapment, and, as well as, the introduction of small objects during the use of the cot duvet (see 4.1.1).
A.3 Mechanical and physical hazards
A.3.1 Hazards of entrapment of fingers and toes, ischemia
A.3.1.1 This clause relates to hazards from characteristics such holes, ties, loops, openings, which could lead to entrapment injuries (see 4.1.2, 4.1.3, 4.2.1.1).
17 A.3.1.2 This clause relates also to hazards such as monofilaments, loose sewing threads, loop labels, float threads which could lead to an ischemic injury (see 4.1.2, 4.1.3).
A.3.2 Hazards of strangulation
A.3.3 Hazards of choking, aspiration, ingestion (small parts)
A.3.3.1 This clause relates to the release of small parts from embellishments or filling materials in cot duvets. Young children place small items in their mouths and noses. Therefore the release of small parts could lead to serious choking and aspira…
A.3.3.2 There is no evidence of incident due to seam resistance which leads to access the filling material. There is a lower risk when the filling materials percolate through the fabric layers. The stitch density is selected so that the cot duvet is c…
A.3.4 Hazards of suffocation
A.3.5 Hazards of cutting, puncture, abrasion
A.3.5.1 This clause relates to hazards such as sharp edges, sharp points which lead to laceration or abrasion of a child’s skin, projecting components could puncture a child’s skin or result in eye injury (see 4.2.5.1.
18 A.4 Chemical hazards
A.4.1 Hazards related to harmful substances
A.4.2 Hazards related to migration of certain substances
A.4.3 Hazards related to formaldehyde
A.5 Thermal hazards (Hyperthermia and hypothermia)
19 A.6 Fire hazards
A.7 Hygiene hazards
A.7.1 Washable (see 4.6.1(1))
A.7.2 clean and free from infestation and foreign materials (see 4.6.1(2))
A.7.3 feather filled products (see 4.6.1(3))
A.7.4 used recycled fibres (see 4.6.1(4))
