CEN/TR 13387-5:2018
(Main)Child care articles - General safety guidelines - Part 5: Product information
General Information
- Abstract
Product information given in standards has a direct impact on safety. It should contribute to avoiding risks to the child. However, product information is not intended to compensate for design deficiencies and does not in itself make a product safer but is a means for the manufacturer to communicate with the user. Reasonable foreseeable misuse and risks of the product should be made explicit and adequate warnings be given.
All product information should be in the language(s) of the country in which the product is sold. It should be presented so that it is unambiguous, legible and easy to read and comprehend.
A risk analysis should be applied to identify those hazards for which safety-related product information is required.

European foreword
This document (CEN/TR 13387-5:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 252 “Child
care articles”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes CEN/TR 13387-5:2015.
The first edition of CR 13387 was published in 1999 and this is its latest revision. It is a Technical
Report which provides guidance information on common hazards that should be taken into
consideration when developing safety standards for child care articles.
This new edition of this European Technical Report is a hazard based technical report. In comparison
with the previous edition, the main changes related to the section on Product information are:
— When preparing CEN/TR 13387-5, CEN/CLC Guide 11, Product information relevant to
consumers — Guidelines for standard developers, and ISO/IEC Guide 50, Safety aspects — Guidelines
for child safety in standards and other specifications, have been taken into consideration.
The CEN/TR 13387 series comprises the following five parts:
— Safety philosophy and safety assessment (CEN/TR 13387-1);
— Chemical hazards (CEN/TR 13387-2);
— Mechanical hazards (CEN/TR 13387-3);
— Thermal hazards (CEN/TR 13387-4);
— Product information (CEN/TR 13387-5).
CEN/TR 13387-5 is intended to be used in conjunction with CEN/TR 13387-1.
1 Scope
Product information given in standards has a direct impact on safety. It should contribute to avoiding
risks to the child. However, product information is not intended to compensate for design deficiencies
and does not in itself make a product safer but is a means for the manufacturer to communicate with
the user. Reasonable foreseeable misuse and risks of the product should be made explicit and adequate
warnings be given.
All product information should be in the language(s) of the country in which the product is sold. It
should be presented so that it is unambiguous, legible and easy to read and comprehend.
A risk analysis should be applied to identify those hazards for which safety-related product information
is required.
