If advice to the consumer (e.g. a care label on the toy or its packaging)
– indicates that the toy is not intended to be washed, it shall not be washed or soaked before testing,
– recommends a method of washing or cleaning, the toy shall be treated before testing in accordance with these recommendations which are regarded as instructions from the manufacturer, and
– gives no information relating to washing or cleaning the toy, ifit is likely to be washed during its life or exposed to rain shall be treated, before testing, in accordance with the following instructions, immerse the test sample(s) in tap water (at approximately 20 °C) at a ratio of at least 1:20 mass of test sample(s) to volume of water, and allow it/them to stand for 10 min. Drain and repeat twice.
Rinse by immersing the test sample(s) in demineralized water for 2 min. Drain and dry by a method appropriate to the test sample(s) and, where appropriate, restore the pile as near as possible to its original condition.
Cut test samples with dimensions of at least 610 mm x 100 mm from each material available on the toy. Each test sample shall be made from one material. Where possible, the sample should not include seamed edges or edges decorated with lace trimmings. As seams modify the rate of spread of flame, they shall be placed in the upper part of the sample holder.
Where there is insufficient material to prepare a full sample as described above, two equal pieces of the same material from the same single toy with dimensions of 310 mm × 100 mm can be used so that when they overlap, a full sample of at least 610 mm x 100 mm is obtained. In order to ensure that there is no gap at the overlap, staples can be used to secure the join.
As the rate of spread of flame can be different with the direction of the fabric, where there is enough material, cut the test sample with the length corresponding to the vertical direction of the toy when in use.AS NZS 8124.2 pdf free download.
