Domestic furniture. Beds and mattresses. Safety requirements and test methods. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This European Standard specifies mechanical safety requirements and testing for all types of fully erected domestic adult beds including all component elements such as bed frame, bed base, mattress and mattress pads (when they form a unit with the mattress). It does not apply to foldaway beds, bunk beds, children's cots and adjustable beds for disabled persons where separate standards exist, as well as waterbeds and air beds. Further tests may be applicable for test units that are multi-purpose, e.g. convertible sofa beds and power driven systems. Assessment for ageing and degradation are not included.
