Furniture - Bunk beds and high beds - Part 1: Safety, strength and durability requirements

This European Standard specifies requirements for the safety, strength and durability of bunk beds and high beds for domestic and non-domestic use. The loads and forces in the strength and durability tests apply to beds with an internal length greater than 140 cm and a maximum bed base width of 120 cm. The dimensional requirements are intended to minimise the risk of accidents, particularly to children. The strength and durability requirements are intended to represent use by one occupant per bed. Safety requirements for other products included in a bunk bed/high bed, for example a table or storage furniture, are not included in this standard.

Möbel - Etagenbetten und Hochbetten - Teil 1: Anforderungen an die Sicherheit, Festigkeit und Dauerhaltbarkeit

Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen an die Sicherheit, Festigkeit und Dauerhaltbarkeit von Etagenbetten und Hochbetten fest. Die für die Festigkeits  und Dauerhaltbarkeitsprüfungen festgelegten Belastungen und Kräfte gelten für Betten mit einer inneren Länge von mehr als 140 cm und einer Höchstbreite des Bettbodens von 120 cm.
Durch die Maßanforderungen ist insbesondere beabsichtigt, die Unfallgefahr für Kinder auf ein Mindestmaß zu reduzieren.
Die Anforderungen an die Festigkeit und die Dauerhaltbarkeit sollen die Benutzung durch eine Person je Bett repräsentieren.
Sicherheitsanforderungen für andere Produkte, die bei einem Etagenbett/Hochbett mit enthalten sind, z. B. ein Tisch oder ein Behältnismöbel, sind nicht Gegenstand der vorliegenden Norm.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Etagenbetten und Hochbetten für besondere Zwecke, einschließlich, aber nicht begrenzt auf Gefängnisse, Kasernen und Feuerwachen.

Meubles - Lits superposés et lits surélevés - Partie 1: Exigences de sécurité, de résistance et de durabilité

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences relatives à la sécurité, la résistance et la durabilité des lits superposés et des lits surélevés. Les charges et forces spécifiées dans les essais de résistance et de durabilité s’appliquent aux lits de longueur interne supérieure à 140 cm et dont le sommier à une largeur maximale de 120 cm.
Les exigences dimensionnelles visent essentiellement à minimiser le risque d’accidents pour les enfants.
Les exigences de résistance et de durabilité sont basées exclusivement sur un usage d’une personne par lit.
Les exigences de sécurité relatives aux autres articles inclus dans un lit superposé/surélevé (table ou meuble de rangement, par exemple) ne sont pas indiquées dans la présente norme.
La présente Norme européenne ne s’applique pas aux lits superposés et lits surélevés à usage spécial, notamment ceux destinés à être utilisés en environnement carcéral ou militaire, ou à usage du corps des sapeurs-pompiers.

Pohištvo - Pogradi in visoke postelje - 1. del: Zahteve za varnost, trdnost in trajnost

Ta evropski standard določa zahteve za varnost, trdnost in trajnost pogradov in visokih postelj za domačo in javno rabo. Obremenitve in sile v preskusih trdnosti in trajnosti veljajo za postelje, katerih notranja dolžina presega 140 cm in pri katerih širina osnove meri 120 cm. Namen zahtev za mere je zmanjšati tveganje za nesreče, zlasti pri otrocih. Pri zahtevah glede trdnosti in trajnosti se predvideva, da posteljo uporablja ena oseba. Varnostne zahteve za druge izdelke, ki so del pograda/visoke postelje, npr. miza ali shranjevalno pohištvo, niso vključene v tem standardu.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements for the safety, strength and durability of bunk beds and high
beds. The loads and forces in the strength and durability tests apply to beds with an internal length greater
than 140 cm and a maximum bed base width of 120 cm.
The dimensional requirements are particularly intended to minimise the risk of accidents happening to
children.
The strength and durability requirements are intended to represent use of a bed by one occupant only.
Safety requirements for other products included in a bunk bed/high bed, e.g. a table or storage furniture, are
not included in this standard.
This European Standard does not apply to bunk beds and high beds for special purposes, including but not
limited to prison, military and fire brigades.
