Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard is mandatory and applies to cradles intended for infants less than 5 months old or those who cannot sit up, kneel, or crawl, with an internal length not exceeding 900mm. It does not apply to infant bouncers, carriers, or swings. If the cradle includes attached toys, they must comply with the relevant requirements of GB 6675.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies comprehensive material requirements, mandating that all materials be clean and free from decay or insect damage. Metals in accessible zones must be corrosion-resistant, and the migration of specific elements in accessible materials and coatings must not exceed defined maximum limits. Textiles must meet the infant product requirements of GB 18401, and flammability must comply with GB 6675. Regarding structural requirements, the standard dictates strict guidelines for edges, corners, and holes to prevent injuries. It specifies limitations on small parts, cords, and fasteners. Locking mechanisms for rocking, folding, and drop-side rails must require a minimum force of 50N to release and must function automatically to prevent accidental collapse. The cradle must also meet specific dimensional criteria for the base, side panels, and end panels to prevent entrapment. The standard also covers stability and mattress specifications. The cradle must not tip over under specified testing forces. Mattress thickness is restricted to prevent suffocation risks, and specific maximum gap dimensions are enforced between the mattress and cradle sides. Plastic packaging must comply with GB 6675 or carry explicit suffocation warnings.
Testing methods
Testing procedures include visual inspection for material cleanliness and integrity. Specific tests evaluate the migration of elements, textile properties (formaldehyde, colorfastness, pH), and flammability. Structural integrity is assessed through various mechanical tests, including a continuous load test on the base, bending and impact tests on side panels, and a vertical static loading test. Stability is verified by applying horizontal forces, and locking devices are tested for durability and required release force.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 30004-2013?
GB 30004-2013 regulates cradles designed for infants under 5 months or those unable to sit, kneel, or crawl, provided the internal length is 900mm or less. It excludes bouncers, carriers, and swings.
Are there specific requirements for the locking mechanisms of the cradle?
Yes, locking mechanisms for rocking, folding, and drop-side rails must require at least 50N of force to release and must automatically engage to prevent accidental folding or movement.
Does GB 30004-2013 reference other standards?
Yes, it references several other standards, including GB 6675 for toy safety and flammability, GB 18401 for textile safety, and GB 18584 for formaldehyde release limits in wooden furniture.
