This Standard specifies safety requirements for cots. These include material, design,
construction, performance, labelling and marking requirements, all of which are important
for the well-being of children who use cots. The Standard is applicable to cots for use in
household situations. It is not applicable to folding cots. Folding cots are covered in
AS/NZS 2195, however folding timber cots are required by AS/NZS 2195 to meet some
parts of this Standard.
