床垫保护套（罩、垫等）是否属于附件 XVII 第 51 和 52 条的范围？

Do mattress protectors (covers, pads etc.) fall within the scope of Entries 51 and 52 of Annex XVII?

REACH 附件 XVII 中对儿童护理用品的定义如下：“儿童护理用品”是指“任何旨在促进睡眠、放松、卫生、儿童喂食或儿童吮吸的产品”。欧盟委员会服务指南文件对“可放入口中”概念的解读提供了进一步的解释。该文件列举了以下示例：“睡衣的主要用途是供儿童睡觉时穿着，而不是帮助睡眠。因此，睡衣应被视为纺织品，与其他纺织品一样，不属于该指令的管辖范围。睡袋的设计目的是促进睡眠，因此应属于该指令的管辖范围。” 考虑到这一点，并考虑到指南文件明确包含床垫套的描述和照片，可以确认床垫保护套属于附件 XVII 中定义的儿童护理用品。这意味着附件 XVII 第 51 条列出的三种邻苯二甲酸酯 DEHP、BBP 和 DBP 不得用于床垫保护套。其余三种物质，DINP、DIDP和DNOP，列于第52条，仅限制在儿童可放入口中的物品中。

The definition of childcare articles contained in Annex XVII to REACH is as follows: "Childcare articles" are defined as "any product intended to facilitate sleep, relaxation, hygiene, the feeding of children or sucking on the part of children". Further explanation is provided by the Commission services' guidance document on the interpretation of the concept "which can be placed in the mouth". It gives the following examples: "The main purpose of pyjamas is to dress children when sleeping and not to facilitate sleep. Pyjamas should therefore be regarded as textiles and, like other textiles, do not fall under the scope of the Directive. Sleeping bags are designed to facilitate sleep, and should therefore fall under the Directive." Taking this into account, and also taking into account that the guidance document explicitly contains a description and a photo of a mattress cover, it can be confirmed that mattress protectors are childcare articles as defined in Annex XVII. This means that the three phthalates DEHP, BBP and DBP listed in entry 51 of Annex XVII may not be used in mattress protectors. The other three, DINP, DIDP and DNOP, listed in the entry 52, are only restricted in those articles that can be placed in the mouth by children.
