Each baby carrying facility shall be equipped with an integral harness to restrain the baby (see 3.3.4).

In case of a basket trolley being equipped with two child carrying facilities or with one child carrying facility and
one baby carrying facility, each child carrying facility shall be equipped with a waist belt (see 3.3.3).

When tested in accordance with 5.6, the anchoring points and fastening systems of each integral harness and
each waist belt shall not break, become loose or tear away from their support.

4.1.5 Nesting of the trolleys into each other

When nesting a trolley equipped with a baby carrying facility into another trolley, either, there shall be an
indication, that the baby(s) shall be lifted out of the baby carrying facility before nesting the trolley. Or

5 Test

5.1 General

In addition to the tests of EN 1929-1 the complete basket trolley shall comply with the tests specified under 5.2
to 5.5. The tests shall be carried out on new trolleys. All tests must be carried out at room temperature.

The baby and child carrying facility(ies) shall comply with the tests specified under 4.8, 4.9 and 8.2 of EN 71-
1:1998.

5.2 Stability test

NOTE The stability test is equivalent to 5.4 of EN 1929-1:1998.

The load simulating the child and the test device are the same as indicated in 5.4 of EN 1929-1:1998.

The load simulating the baby shall be a 12 kg steel cylinder having a diameter of 120 mm and a height of
approximately 135 mm.

9
EN 1929-7:2005 (E)

The test cylinder shall be positioned in the median plane of the baby carrying facility with its longitudinal axis
orthogonal to the longitudinal plane of the baby carrying facility. The trolley shall be on a horizontal surface so
that the test cylinder can find its final position. The test cylinder shall be secured in this position.

The test is conducted in the same way as described in 5.4 of EN 1929-1:1998.

The arrangement and number of loads for the test in the longitudinal and lateral direction shall be taken from
Table 1.

Table 1 — Arrangement and number of loads for testing the stability

facility)

BK 1 load (12 kg) simulating the baby and

A. Testing the baby carrying facility
only:
1 load (12 kg) simulating the baby,
located closest to the tilting axis

5.3 Test of the position of the baby carrying facility

In order to determine the inclination of the back support of the baby carrying facility a testing equipment shall
be used. This testing equipment consists of a large board having the dimensions of 200 mm x 120 mm x 5
mm and a small board having the dimensions of 50 mm x 120 mm x 5 mm. At their upper surface the boards
are connected by a hinge in such a way that the testing equipment has a length of 250 mm in stretched
condition. The lowest point of the lying flat shall be determined in an appropriate way, for example by use of a
little ball.

The testing equipment shall be positioned on the back support in longitudinal direction of the baby carrying
facility in such a way that the free lower edge of the small board is situated at the lowest point, see Figure 5. In
0 0
that case the big board must show an angle α of at least 10 but less than 45 to the horizontal.
