NORMATIVE
Any safety barrier for children must comply with the EN 1930: 2011 Regulation, as a minimum safety condition, in addition to the certifications that each manufacturer wishes to include in terms of safety; practically all barriers are designed for children between 6 and 24 months. All safety barriers for children in Segu baby comply with the strictest safety regulations in force.
MOUNTING
Safety barriers must be mounted on clean and structurally sound surfaces, and must always rest on the ground.
Although most child Safety Barriers Design can be installed under pressure (always follow the manufacturer’s instructions), when it is located at the top of some stairs, that is, to prevent the child from falling down, we recommend the fixing with screws to the wall. The screw to carry it out is only 4 mm, so that when the device is removed it is easy to repair, thus optimizing its safety and reliability
In the upper area of the stairs, the child safety barrier must be placed supported on the highest step, since if we did it on a lower step, it would lose its approval due to the lack of the minimum height.
PRECAUTIONS
We must not allow children to hang, swing or lean on safety barriers Design .
Periodically, the safety of the child barrier must be checked, so that over time it does not lose the reliability that it does not offer from the beginning of its installation.
A child safety barrier that has been exposed to an accident should not be reused.
If we use the child safety barrier, for the isolation of heat sources (stoves, fireplaces, etc.), we must take into account installing it far enough away, that if the child introduces the arm through the bars, it will not get burned.
