CPSC-16CFR 1227婴儿手推车法规

美国消费品安全委员会（简称CPSC）最近一致投票通过并在其官方公报（FR）上发布了新的联邦政府强制法规：16CFR 1227婴儿手推车安全法规，生效期是2015年9月10日，出厂日期在此日期后的婴儿手推车都应符合本法规的要求。

该规则基于现行的ASTM F 833-13b婴儿卧式和坐式推车标准（由美国材料与试验协会ASTM发布），修订了多角度/可调扶手有关的头夹风险，并修改了在测试中把产品调到“最有可能导致失败的位置上”，从而检测出最不安全的打开方式，要求制造商在使用说明或使用状态处进行标识。另外，在此份新联邦安全标准中的关键安全问题包括如下：

◎ 停车制动器的要求

◎ 剪、切、挤压点的危险

◎ 轮和旋转组件脱离

◎ 稳定性问题
