scope:

This Standard specifies requirements and test methods for accessories and add-on devices to be used with child restraints, as defined in AS/NZS 1754, and items that are to be used to improve the comfort or fit of adult restraints for children.

Examples of items covered by this Standard include those designed to substitute for existing components of a child restraint (e.g. covers), those designed to enhance a child's comfort, to provide entertainment, for storage, to facilitate restraint fitment to some vehicles or in some circumstances, to limit the propensity for a child to be able to unbuckle themselves from a restraint inappropriately.

Excluded from this Standard are-

(a) devices that adapt adult seatbelts to better fit a child or to convert a lap-sash to lap-only belt, as these are covered by AS/NZS 1754, i.e. Type H converters;

(b) manufacturer-supplied replacement parts for items that form part of the restraint when originally certified under AS/NZS 1754, whose performance is thus controlled by AS/NZS 1754; and

(c) devices that are designed to be permanently fitted to a vehicle to allow for child restraint installation.

This Standard does not cover accessories that are intended for vehicle occupants over 16 years of age.
