This part of EN 747 specifies test methods for assessing the safety, strength and durability of bunk beds and high beds for domestic use. The loads and forces in the strength and durability tests apply for beds with a maximum bed base width of 120 cm. It is particularly intended to minimise the risk of accidents happening to children. Only the sleeping function is considered.
The tests are designed to be applied to a free-standing bed that is fully assembled and ready for use.
The test results are only valid for the article tested. When the test results are to be applied to other similar articles, the test sample shall be representative of the production model.
