Furniture - Bunk beds and high beds - Part 1: Safety, strength and durability requirements; German version EN 747-1:2024
Abstract
This document specifies requirements for the safety, strength and durability of bunk beds and high beds for domestic and non-domestic use. It applies to bunk beds with a height to the upper surface of the top bed base of 600 mm or more above the floor and to high beds with a height to the upper surface of the bed base of 600 mm or more above the floor. The loads and forces in the strength and durability tests apply to beds with an internal length greater than 1400 mm and a maximum bed base width of 1200 mm. The dimensional requirements are intended to minimise the risk of accidents, particularly to children.The strength and durability requirements are intended to represent use by one occupant per bed. Safety requirements for other products included in a bunk bed/high bed, for example a table or storage furniture, are not included in this standard. This document does not apply to bunk beds and high beds used for special purposes, including but not limited to prison, the military and fire brigades.
