Safety requirements and test methods for children's bedguards for domestic use. | Status: Confirmed, Current

1 Scope This British standard specifies safety requirements and methods of test for children's bedguards for domestic use. It applies to bedguards intended for use with beds having a maximum height of 600 mm and a minimum internal length of 1 400 mm. These bedguards, when used in conjunction with a bed/mattress combination, are intended to prevent children aged between 18 months and 5 years from falling out of bed. This standard is not applicable to bedguards designed for adult use, nor to bedguards which are an integral part of a bed, i.e. a permanent fixture not intended to be detached.
