Drop Tester Machine, 5kg

Large and bulky toys shall not be tested according to 5.24.2 (drop test), but in accordance
with the following procedure:
Place the toy on a horizontal surface, as prescribed in 5.24.2. Attempt to tip it over by
pushing it slowly past its centre of balance three times, one of which shall be in its most
onerous position. Gradually apply a force, which is not to exceed 120 N, in a horizontal
direction and 1 500 mm above the horizontal surface or at the top edge of the toy for toys
less than 1 500 mm in height. A non-resilient step with a height of (25+ 2) mm shall be
positioned such that it prevents sliding or rolling of the toy during the test.
The original point of application relative to the toy shall be maintained, and the force shall
remain horizontal, throughout the test. The vertical position of the point of application relative
to the horizontal surface is permitted to increase during the test.
If a force greater than 120 N is required to bring the toy beyond its centre of balance, or if the
vertical position of the point of application, relative to the horizontal surface, exceeds 1 800
mm, the tip-over test sha!! he stopped. The test shall also be stopped if the toy slides or rolls
over the non-resilient step without tipping over (see Figure 39).
After each tip-over, the toy shall be allowed to come to rest and shall be examined and
evaluated before continuing to determine whether the toy continues to conform to the
relevant requirements of Clause 4 (requirements).
Toys supplied with anchors and intended to be permanently fixed (e.g. in concrete) when in
use, according to the manufacturer's instructions, shall not be subjected to the tip-over test.
