PART 1505_REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICALLY OPERATED TOYS OR OTHER 
ELECTRICALLY OPERATED ARTICLES INTENDED FOR USE BY CHILDREN--Table 
 
                 Subpart B_Policies and Interpretations
 
Sec.  1505.50  Stalled motor testing.


    (a) Sec.  1505.6(e)(4)(ii) requires that a motor-operated toy be 
tested with the motor stalled if the construction of the toy is such 
that any person can touch moving parts associated with the motor from 
outside the toy. The performance of the toy shall be considered 
unacceptable if, during the test, temperatures higher than those 
specified in Sec.  1505.8 are attained or if temperatures higher than 
those specified for Type C surfaces in Sec.  1505.7 are attained on any 
accessible surface of the motor.
    (b) To determine if a moving part associated with the motor can be 
touched from outside the toy, the Commission staff will use a \1/4\-inch 
diameter rod, as referenced in Sec.  1505.4(h)(1). If the rod, when 
inserted into openings in the toy, can touch any moving part associated 
with the motor, the toy will be tested with the motor stalled.

    (c) The requirement that temperatures higher than those specified in 
Sec.  1505.8 not be attained applies to those internal components which 
are described in Sec.  1505.8. Additionally, temperatures of accessible 
surfaces shall not exceed those specified for Type C surfaces in Sec.  
1505.7.
