SCHEDULE 3(Subsection 12(1))Test for Strength of Mesh and Integrity of Attachment
1 The following method is to be used for testing the strength of mesh and the integrity of its attachment to a crib, cradle, bassinet or accessory:
(a) assemble the product according to the manufacturer’s instructions, omitting any attachments that could interfere with the conduct of the test;
(b) place the product on a horizontal surface on its side so that the side with the mesh panel that is being tested is positioned above the opposite side and, if necessary, secure it by using any blocking or support that maintains its position and that does not act directly on the frame of the side that is being tested;
(c) apply a load of 9.18 kg that has a rectangular base that measures 150 mm × 75 mm to the geometric centre of the mesh panel or, if any exterior framing interferes with the test, as close as possible to the geometric centre, so that the 150-mm dimension of the load is aligned parallel to the top rail of the side that is being tested, in the following way:
(d) repeat the steps set out in paragraph (c) nine times for a total of 10 applications;
(e) repeat the steps set out in paragraphs (c) and (d) on the top portion of the mesh panel in the following way:
(f) repeat the steps set out in paragraphs (c) and (d) on the bottom portion of the mesh panel in the following way:
(g) if the bottom of the product has a mesh panel, place the product upside down on a horizontal surface and, if necessary, secure it by using any blocking or support that maintains its position and that does not act directly on the frame of the bottom of the product, and repeat the steps set out in paragraphs (c) to (f); and
(h) repeat the steps set out in paragraphs (b) to (f) on all the other mesh panels of the product.
