To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed,
7、 and new editions are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued. Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are using a current Standard, which should include any amendments which may have been published since the Standard was purchased. Detailed
8、 information about joint Australian/New Zealand Standards can be found by visiting the Standards Australia web site at .au or Standards New Zealand web site at www.standards.co.nz and looking up the relevant Standard in the on-line catalogue. Alternatively, both organizations publish an annual print
9、ed Catalogue with full details of all current Standards. For more frequent listings or notification of revisions, amendments and withdrawals, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand offer a number of update options. For information about these services, users should contact their respective na

This Standard has undergone a number of revisions. Details of the pu
15、blishing history can be obtained from the Information Centre at Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand. In this edition, changes have been introduced to improve and clarify some parts of the Standard that were considered confusing and to provide users with a more workable document. Changes mad
16、e in this edition include: (a) A clearer definition of infant sleep bags. (b) Fabric with a pile or nap, which meets the requirements for surface burn, can be used on the 2.5 cm inside edge for all four categories. (c) The introduction of trim requirements for Category 3 garments. (d) A more specifi
17、c identification of all-in-one garments that are required to comply with this Standard. (e) Recommendation for the labelling of garment sets where one part of the set is a Category 3 garment and the other is a garment not required to meet this Standard. (f) Revision of Appendix A to rectify errors a
18、nd clarify the steps in the assessment process. (g) Removal of the reference to printed labels only, which will no longer restrict the use of woven labels. The types of garments to which this Standard applies are listed in Clause 0.2. In addition to the requirements of this Standard, designers must
19、refer to national consumer regulations in Australia and New Zealand when it is intended to sell childrens nightwear garments in these countries. Garments which do not meet the requirements of any of the categories specified in Table 0.1 are considered to have a very high flammability rating, and the
20、refore do not comply with this Standard. Some daywear garments have been included in the Standard because of the difficulty of distinguishing between daywear and nightwear for these items. For example, Category 3 has been created to provide for some infants all-in-one style garments. Many flame burn
21、s suffered by children involve flammable liquids. Garments complying with the requirements of this Standard will give little or no protection against burns where flammable liquids are involved. The terms normative and informative have been used in this Standard to define the application of the appen
22、dix to which they apply. A normative appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an informative appendix is only for information and guidance.

31、e following explanatory notes give some of the reasons for the principles and requirements set out in this Standard. They are based on information collected as a result of burning accidents and on extensive laboratory investigations: (a) Fabrics with pile or nap surface Fabrics which have a pile or
32、nap, e.g. fluffy types of fabrics, are far more prone to surface burning than fabrics which have no loose fibres on the surface. Although it would be difficult to exclude all these types of flammable fabrics from traditional nightwear, the performance requirements in this Standard reduce the risk of
33、 surface burn. (b)Garment style Loose flowing styles of garments, whether in the form of nightdresses, dressing gowns, pyjamas with bell-bottom trousers or loose sleeves, sloppy jackets, or shirts, are likely to come in contact with inadequately guarded home-heating appliances. Some trims attached t
34、o garments especially along the edges are more readily ignited than the bulk of the fabric. This Standard is designed to reduce these hazards. (c) Fabrics made from fibres that melt If fabrics which melt come in contact with a flame, they may shrink away before they ignite. If they do ignite, melted
35、 drops fall off and may take the burning portion away from the body of the fabric. Their greatest danger lies in the possibility of the molten material coming in contact with the body. (d) Heating appliances Many older types of heating appliances, which do not have adequate guards, remain in use for
36、 long periods. These may be electrical appliances, or kerosene or gas heaters. Open fires are sometimes left unguarded with children playing nearby. Garments are also known to ignite when a loose sleeve comes in contact with a lighted gas burner or an electric hotplate on a stove. Accessed by TAFE Q

38、rmance and labelling requirements for four categories of childrens nightwear, together with some garments commonly worn both day and night. It also covers requirements for the labelling of paper patterns for these garments. NOTES: 1 Appendix A is a flow chart which will be of assistance in interpret
39、ing the Standard when designing childrens nightwear. 2 Appendix B provides a general indication of the burning characteristics of different types of fibres; however, it is not possible to accurately predict the burning behaviour of any garment solely on the basis of the fibre content of the componen
40、t fabric or fabrics. Prediction of the burning behaviour of garments incorporating fibre blend is not possible from data on the individual fibres in the blend (see warning in Appendix B). 3 There are some garments which will not meet the requirements of any of the categories in this Standard and the
41、refore cannot comply with this Standard. 0.2 APPLICATION This Standard applies to nightwear garments in sizes ranging from 00 to 14, the number scheme used in AS 1182. Included are (a) knitted all-in-ones in Sizes 00 to 2 where the close-fitting portion of the garment occupies 80% or more of the tot
42、al surface area of the garment; NOTE: There are a number of daywear all-in-one garments that are designed with other garments attached, for example a dress attached to a romper. It is not the Committees intention that these garments be subjected to the Standard. (b) recognized, exclusively styled ni
43、ghtwear garments; (c) woven all-in-ones in Sizes 00 to 2 and all-in-ones above Size 2 if they are of a style which identifies them as nightwear; (d) boxer shorts of a loose style commonly used as nightwear; and (e) infant sleep bags with sleeves or arm openings. Excluded are (i) predominantly knitte
44、d all-in-ones in Sizes 00 to 2 made from fabric with a mass equal to or greater than 280 g/m2 and clearly daywear; (ii) predominantly knitted all-in-ones with a fabric of mass less than 280 g/m2 in sizes 00 to 2; and where the surface area of the close fitting portion of the garment is less than 80%
45、 of the total surface area of the garment and which are clearly not nightwear; (iii) woven all-in-ones in Sizes 00 to 2 and all-in-ones above Size 2 which are not of a style which identifies them as nightwear; (iv) boxer shorts in form fitting styles, commonly worn as underwear; Accessed by TAFE QUE
46、ENSLAND INSTITUTES on 18 Sep 2007 AS/NZS 1249:2003 COPYRIGHT 7 (v) tee-shirts; (vi) sheets and blankets that incorporate a partial garment. (vii) infant sleepbags without sleeves or arm openings. NOTE: Attention is drawn to Appendix C which gives some indicators which will assist in identifying garm
47、ents which are styled to be worn as nightwear. 0.3 OBJECTIVE The objective of this Standard is to provide criteria to assess the fire hazard of childrens nightwear for the purpose of classification and for labelling of garments according to their fire hazard. 0.4 REFERENCED DOCUMENTS The following d
