1 Scope ,•
This European Standard specifies safety requirements for free standing children's high chairs that
elevate children to dining table height usually for the purposes of feeding or eati ng. Children's high
chairs are for children up to 3 years of age who are capable of sitting unaided.
With the exception of special high chairs for medical purposes, this standard applies to children's high
chairs for domestic and non-domestic use.
NOTE If a children's high chair has to or can be converted into other fun ctions, additional European
Standards may apply.

otherwise specified in the test method.
Knock-down fittings shall be tightened before testing. Further re-tig htening shall not take place.
4.2 Application of forces
The forces in the static load tests shall be applied sufficiently slowly to ensure that negligible dynamic
force is applied.
The tests are described in terms of the application of forces, however masses can be used. The
relationship 10 N = 1 kg sha ll be used for this purpose.
4.3 Tolerances
Unless otherwise stated, the following tolerances apply:

Forces: ± 5 % of the nominal force;
Masses: ± 0,5 % of the nom inal mass;
Dimensions: ± 1,0 mm of the nominal dimens ion;
Angles: ± 2° of the nominal angle;
Positioning of loading pads: ± 5 mm.

Annex A
(informative)
Rationales
A.l Introduction
This informative annex has been included with the purpose of providing th e ratio nales for the inclusion
of some of the requirements of this standard.
Where appropriate. rel evant clause numbers in the standard are given in this annex and the relevant
reference for the annex is given in the normative part of the standard.
A.2 Chemical hazards (see Clause 6)
A child up to the age of 24 months spe nds a considerable amount of time both mouthing and chewing. It
is important that quantities of certain elements. which may have a harmful effect if a child has access for
mouthing and chewing, should be limited.
A.3 Thermal hazards (see Clause 7)
Th e risk that a child sitting in the high chair may come close to or be in contact with a source of ignition
is low. However, if the product should come close to, or be in contact with an ignition source. the
product should not burn immediately.
A.4 Mechanical hazards (see Clause 8)

.
A.4.1 Entrapment hazards (see 8.3) I
Th ese requirements are intended to address the hazard associated with stopping the circulation of •
blood when the child traps its finger in an opening. Th e shape, dimension and depth of openings and
gaps determines the risk of entrapme nt.
These risks increase as the child becomes more a ble to explore the ir e nvi ronment. Even when they are
able to move by themselves, the child may not always be able to remove their fingers from a potential
hazard.
As a priority, those parts of a product which are accessible when a child is using the product as
foreseeable should be considered. The high chair should be used with the child properly restrained into
the high chair and under adult s upervisio n.
Head and neck hazards occur when the child is in a position where its body weight is supported by its
neck and the child is incapable of li fti ng its body weight to relieve pressure on its neck. When this
occurs it will cause airways to close a nd restrict the blood now leading to brain damage.
This hazard has been addressed specifically for feet first fall hazard in openings that could cause head
entrapment.
A.4.2 Hazards caused by moving parts (see 8.4)
Hazards from moving parts are related to products and rigid components of prod ucts that move in use.
Child's fingers are considered to be at higher risk and may be cut, crus hed, fractured or even severed if
the fingers become trapped between com ponents of a product that move.
41
BS EN 14988:2017
EN 14988:2017 (E)
This risk is more severe if parts move under loads such as body weight, component weight or the
application of powered mechanisms.
A crushing hazard occurs when components move relatively one to another and have a compression
action.
A shearing hazard occurs when components move relatively one to another and have a scissoring
action.
A combination of crushing hazard and shearing hazard may also occur.

Hazards arising from moving parts depend on the potential of the parts to cause injury. Where possible,
moving parts that can close to less than 12 mm should be avoided.
The following conditions should be taken into accou nt when assessing the hazard of moving parts:
the accessibility of the moving parts by the child sitting in the high chair. The accessibility can be
reduced by: protective elements, distance from the child to the moving parts, etc.;
the nexibility of the material, e.g. plastic frames, foam, small metal bars, etc.;
the shape and material of the parts, e.g. rounded tubes, foam around rigid parts, nat steel plates,
etc.;
the effect of forces applied at different positions;

the means of operating the moving parts;
the design of the parts may cause the movement to be obscured from the carer (e.g. a fabric cover
hides the movement);
the ability of the child.
A.4.3 Entanglement hazards (see 8.5)
The requirements in 8.5.1 are intended to prevent the child from being strangled by any cords on the
high chair. If cords, ribbons and narrow fabrics are sufficiently long to encircle the child's neck there is a
risk of strangulation. The requirements are intended to ensure loops cannot pass over the child's head
causing a strangulation hazard.
A.4.4 Choking and ingestion hazards (see 8.6)
It is well known that young children have the habit of putting things into their mouth, therefore
minimum size requirements are set to prevent choking. Choking occurs when the child's internal
airways are blocked and their breathing is impeded so that air cannot pass into the lungs. Brain damage
can occur as a result
Ingestion hazards result from small components passing into the child's digestive system, which may
cause toxic contamination or an internal blockage or lacerations.
The requirements limit the size of components on the high chair that are either detachable orcould lie
pulled off by the child.
The requirement in the second paragraph of 8.6.1 covers high chairs containing filling materials.
Despite uncertainty as to the hazard presented by filling, it has been deemed prudent to require that the
accessible seams undergo a tension test. The requirements are therefore intended to ensure that the
seams do not come apart in a way that enables a child to insert two fingers through a seam to pull out
clumps of filling (simulated by a 7 mm probe).
42
BS EN 14988:2017
EN 14988:2017 (E)
A.4.S Suffocation hazards (see 8.10)
If the child's external airways, mouth and nose are blocked simultaneously, air cannot pass into the
child's lungs and brain damage can occur.
The requirements in 8.10 address the suffocation hazard associated with plastic film and plastic bags
should they cover the mouth and nose or the head.
A.4.6 Hazards caused by edges, corners and protruding parts (see 8.7)
Sharp edges and protrusions on the high chair could cause cuts, lacerations or abrasions to the child's
skin. Sharp points could puncture the child's skin or eye.
A.4.7 Strength and durability hazards (Structural integrity, see 8.8)
Any major failure of the structure of the high chair could cause harm to the child. The requirements
address the strength and durability of the chair in total, as well as the seat, the footrest and the tray.
A.4.8 Hazards from falling out of the high chair (see 8.9)
Falling out of the high chair is the most commonly occurring injury with high chairs. This injury can be
prevented by the use of a restraint system. The requirements in 8.9 are intended to address the need
for an effective restraint system. The standard gives two options: an active restraint system or a passive
restraint system.
An active restraint system is a system where the carer needs to perform an action (e.g. click buckles) to
ensure the child is secured in the restraint system.
A passive restraint system is a system where the carer does not need to perform an action to ensure the
child is secured in the restraint system.
The wedge block used in leg openings test has been taken from ASTM standard for high chairs.
The requirements for an active restraint system are intended to ensure a parent can adjust the restraint
system in such a way that the child is secured in the high chair and the child is not able to undo this.
A passive restraint system is considered to be effective if the child inside the high cha ir is not able to
pass their legs from one leg opening to the other, nor is able to stand up on the seat.
Restraint systems prevent the child from falling out of the high chair, but could also pose an additional
hazard, called submarining, when a child slides down and is caught by a ho ri zontal element. This hazard
is addressed by the requirements in 8.9.1.1.2 a) and b); the test method 8.9.1.2.8 and the requirements
I,
;
in 8.9.1.1.3 b), c) and d). A strap from the active restraint system is not considered to be a horizontal
element in 8.9.1.2.8.
A.4.9 Castors and wheels (see 8.11)
Based on Decision 2013/121/EU, the requirement on castors of EN 14988-1 has been changed to allow
for more than two wheels. The hazard assessment conducted during the development of the
requirement has lead the Committee to define some criteria that the high chair should fulfil to have-- ~
more than two wheels and in particular the weight of the high chair and the presence of parking ~
devices. ~
Specific requirements for products having more than two wheels/castors have therefore been included
in the standard.
A.4.10Stability (see 8.12)
The requirements are intended to address the haza rds associated with insufficient stability of high
chairs that could cause the high chair to overturn. This clause addresses the possibility of the child
leaning sideways, backwards, and forward as well as the child standing on the footrest.

Annex B
(informative)
A- deviations
A-deviation: National deviation due to regulations, the alteration of which is for the time being outside
the competence of the CEN-CENELEC national member.
In the relevant CEN-CENELEC countries, these A-deviations are valid instead of the provisions of the
European Standard until they have been removed.
FRANCE:
The French decree N" 91-1292 of 20 December 1991 relating to the prevention of hazards resulting
from th e use of child care articles, as published in the Official Journal of the French Republic of 24
December 1991, provides under article 2 of title II of its annex that: "child care articles must be made of
materials which either do not burn under direct action of a name, a spark or any other potential seat of
fire, or are hardly nammable (the name extinguishes as soon as the fire cause disappears), or, when
nammable, burn slowly with a low name propagation rate".
Consequently, the requirements in 5.3 of this European Standard will have to be supplemented, in
France, by the following: "The name propagation rate of textiles, coated textile supports and plastic
coverings shall not exceed 30 mm/s when tested in accordance with EN 71-2:2011 +A1 :2014,5.4.".
UK:
The UK Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988, Statutory Instrument No. 1324 (as
amended) as laid before parliament in the UK on 28th July 1988, provides under Schedule 5, Part I those
provisions of BS 5852:1979 Pa rt 1 which relate to butane name ignition source 1.
Consequently, the requirements in Clause 7 of this European Standard will have to be supplemented, in
the UK, by the following: "The test for nammability sha ll be carried out in accordance with those
provisions of BS 5852: Part 1 which relate to butane name ignition source 1 in accordance with the
Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988".
