The normative references for this standard are EN 71-2:2020, EN 71-3+A1 and EN ISO 14184-1, and the Directive related to this standard is2001/95/EC "General product safety."
Scope:
This document specifies the safety requirements and test methods for child back carriers with framed support to carry a child in a seated position. Framed back carriers are intended for children from 6 months of age up to a maximum weight of 18 kg and are designed to carry the child on the carer’s back and be attached to a carer’s torso allowing a hands-free operation, e.g. standing and walking. This standard does not cover framed back carriers designed for children with special needs.
The rationales for the inclusion of some of the requirements are given in Annex B of the standard.
