ASTM F3118 Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Infant Inclined Sleep Products.

Primary Purpose: 

To prevent risks such as falls, positional asphyxia, and obstruction of the mouth and nose when using infant inclined sleep products, ensuring the safety of sleep for infants under 5 months (or those who have not rolled over/stood unassisted), and standardizing the inclined angle of the sleep surface and product safety design. 

Standard Definition:

ASTM F3118 is the core safety specification for infant inclined sleep products issued by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The current version is ASTM F3118-17, which has been incorporated into the 16 CFR 1236 mandatory regulations by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). It applies to standalone inclined sleep products (including infant nests and portable cradles) and is a mandatory requirement for market entry and CPC certification in North America. 

Testing and Certification Requirements:

Testing must be conducted by a laboratory accredited by ISO 17025. Key requirements include:

Sleep surface: inclined angle s10°, with no soft padding causing obstruction of the mouth and nose;

Structural safety: no deformation during static load testing, and passing the fall test, Material safety: compliance with limits for harmful substances in contact materials and absence of irritating odors;

Marking requirements: indication of applicable age range, safety warnings (e.g., do not place soft items, require adult supervision).
