What is a baby diaper changing product?

The term 'baby diaper changing product' as defined in ASTM F2388-21 includes (1) a diaper table, (2) diaper table accessories, (3) an additional diaper table, and (4) a wavy diaper pad. (These four terms are defined in more detail below.)

Please note that only products defined as "baby diaper changing products" by ASTM F2388 are subject to this standard - for example, flat, non wavy shaped diaper changing pads typically provided with diaper bags are not within the scope of this definition and therefore are not subject to this standard.

1. Diaper table: A raised independent structure typically used to support and secure children weighing no more than 30 pounds. (13.6 kilograms) placed horizontally for caregivers to change the child's diaper. The diaper changing table can be converted into other furniture, such as but not limited to a dressing table, desk, storage cabinet, bookshelf, or playground. It may have a pull-out or pull-down diaper changing table, and they can provide storage space for diapers and diaper products.

2. Diaper Table Accessories: Accessories connected to a crib or game bed, designed to convert a product into a diaper table, typically with a rigid frame, soft fabric or mesh side or bottom, or both.

3. Add On Changing Unit: An attachment or separate product fixed to furniture to provide a barrier to prevent infants from rolling off the product while changing diapers.

4. Wave shaped diaper pad: a diaper pad designed for elevated surfaces, which contains obstacles to prevent children from falling off the diaper surface, usually made of foam covered with synthetic materials, with wavy edges.
