AS/NZS 3629.10:2013 pdf download.Methods of testing child restraints Method 10: Bite test.
(a) Remove item(s) to be tested from the child restraint.
(b) Test wet or dry as appropriate. For wet test, soak the test piece in warm water at 35°C to 40°C for at least 15 minutes.
(c) For wet test, take one item from the water container and shake off excess water. For wet and dry tests, position the test
piece between the upper and the lower plates of the bite clamp such that when a force is applied to the loading point, the teeth
close and the effect would resemble a child’s bite. Apply the fabric clamp so as to apply the force to pull the fabric out of the bite clamp. See the setup in Figure 2 and position I shown in Figure 3.
(d) Evenly and gradually apply a force Fl (see Figure 2) of 200±5 N to the loading point in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the top plate, over a period of 5 to 10 s and maintain it for a period of 60 s.
(e) After applying the 200 N loading, evenly and gradually reduce the load to 150±5 N to the bite clamp, over a period of 5 s and maintain.
(f) Afer the load of 150 N has been maintained for at least 20s, gradually apply a force F2 (see Figure 2) of 100±5 N to pull the fabric out of the bite clamp.
