UK INTERPRETATIONS GROUPINTERPRETATIONGROUP #30Standard:EN 71-1Edition:<strong>2005</strong> + <strong>A6</strong>REQUEST FORINTERPRETATION/METHODS<strong>Clause</strong> no : <strong>8.6</strong><strong>Clause</strong> heading : <strong>Tip</strong> <strong>over</strong><strong>test</strong>Date of Request: 22/9/08Source:Bureau Veritas CPS (UK) LtdKeywords: <strong>Tip</strong> <strong>over</strong> <strong>test</strong>, wheelsQuestion:The tip <strong>over</strong> <strong>test</strong> on large and bulky toys is now applied with a maximumhorizontal force of 120 N and at a height of up to 1500 mm.If the sample is equipped with castors or wheels, do you stop the wheels frommoving during this <strong>test</strong> ?Proposer’s Comments for an answer:Either :1) The <strong>test</strong> method makes no mention of chocking the wheels and thereforethe wheels are not prevented from moving. If the toy moves and 120 N isnot reached, then the <strong>test</strong> is stopped. (The toy should be placed on the<strong>test</strong> surface described in 8.5).or2) The wheels are chocked to prevent the toy from moving.Propose answer 1) above. The rationale for this is that under clause 4.16 Heavyimmobile toys, you obviously do not carry out the stability <strong>test</strong> on mobile toys, i.e.those with wheels. Therefore, the Standard is implying that toys with wheels arelikely to move along the floor when pushed and will not tip <strong>over</strong>. Thus, it is logicalto assume that a large and bulky toy with wheels will also move along the floorwhen pushed by a child. So, the <strong>test</strong> is still applied but the wheels are notprevented from moving.Interpretation Group Comments / Action :/continued
