3 The following method is to be used for testing the space created when a non-rigid top rail of a playpen is folded: (a) assemble the playpen according to the manufacturer’s instructions, omitting any attachments that could interfere with the conduct of the test; (b) place the surface identified as surface A of Test Template B illustrated in the figure to this section on the upper surface of a top rail and apply a vertical force of 134 N downwards to Test Template B; (c) while maintaining the force, visually inspect the playpen to determine whether any combination of surfaces and points set out in the table to this section comes into contact with the top rail; and (d) repeat the steps set out in paragraphs (b) and (c) for all the other top rails. Figure — Test Template B The template is flat and resembles the contour of a child’s head. It has a width of 142.24 mm and a height of 177.80 mm. The bottom of the template is horizontal, is 38.10 mm in length and is designated surface A. The sides are symmetrical in relation to the central axis of the bottom of the template and extend upwards and outwards in such a way that an angle of 37.5° exists between surface A and each of the sides that are designated surface B1 and surface B2, respectively. Those sides extend upwards and outwards until the template reaches its width of 142.24 mm. Two vertical sides, each of which is contiguous to one of the sides that extends outward, rise vertically such that the distance between the highest point of each vertical side and the top of the template is 50.80 mm. The vertical sides are designated surface C1 and surface C2, respectively. The top of the template is convex, has a radius of 75.44 mm and is designated surface D.
