scope:

This European Standard specifies requirements for the safety, strength and durability of bunk beds and high beds. The loads and forces in the strength and durability tests apply to beds with an internal length greater than 140 cm and a maximum bed base width of 120 cm. The dimensional requirements are particularly intended to minimise the risk of accidents happening to children. The strength and durability requirements are intended to represent use of a bed by one occupant only. Safety requirements for other products included in a bunk bed/high bed, e.g. a table or storage furniture, are not included in this standard. This European standard does not apply to bunk beds and high beds for special purposes, including but not limited to prison, military and fire brigades.
