Furniture - Beds - Requirements for safety, strength and durability
Abstract
This document specifies requirements on safety, strength and durability for all types of fully assembled beds used by adults in domestic and non-domestic environments including their components, such as bed frames, bed bases and mattresses and mattress pads when supplied together with the bed frame or bed base. The tests are based on use by persons weighing up to 110 kg. With the exception of sleeping functions, it does not apply to foldaway beds. It does not apply to bunk beds, high beds and medical beds where separate standards exist, as well as waterbeds and air beds. Strength and durability tests do not assess the structure of the building (for example the strength of wall hanging beds); rather they include only the bed and the parts used for attachment. The wall and the wall attachments are not included. Additional requirements can be applicable to items that have additional functions, e.g. storage features, day beds and convertible sofa-beds. The durability test, 6.6.1, test 11, applies only to electrically operated beds. It does not include requirements for the resistance to ageing, degradation, flammability and electrical safety. Annex A (normative) specifies test methods for finger entrapment. Annex B (informative) gives a rationale.
