It is in particular intended to minimize the risk of
22、 accidents happening to children. Only the sleeping function is considered. This standard also applies to single beds for use at a height of the upper face of the bed base of 800 mm or more above floor level, irrespective of the use to which the space below is put. 2 Normative references The followi
23、ng standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this European Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this European Standard are encouraged to in
24、vestigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards listed below.

25、sembled as beds, one stacked upon the other, or any bed in which the upper surface of the bed base is 800 mm or more above floor level 3.2 bed end structures an upright unit at the head and foot of the bed, to which the side rails and bed base are attached 3.3 bed base the base or support structure
26、for a mattress 3.4 safety barrier a component intended to prevent an occupant from falling out of the bed 3.5 side rail a longitudinal member attached to the bed end structure by which the bed base can be supported 4 Safety requirements 4.1 Materials Wood and wood-based material shall be free from d

This requirement shall be considered fulfilled if the safety barriers do not become damaged or loosened when tested in accordance with 5.4.2 of EN 747-2, with a vertical force o
29、f 200 N and a horizontal force of 500 N. It shall not be possible to remove the barriers without the aid of a tool. The distance between the upper edge of the safety barriers and the upper side of the bed base shall be at least 260 mm. The top of the mattress shall be at least 160 mm below the upper
30、 edge of the safety barriers. The maximum thickness of the mattress shall be marked permanently with a line on the bed, showing the maximum level of the upper surface of the mattress. One long side of the safety barriers may be completely interrupted by a ladder. The interruption shall be minimum 30
31、0 mm and maximum 400 mm. The position of the ladder shall be indicated in the instructions for use. The safety barrier shall be so designed that in one direction at least the clear space between two adjacent retaining elements, e.g. bands, filling bars, does not exceed 75 mm and is not less than 60
32、mm when tested according to 5.3 of EN 747-2. After this test the permanent deflection of the retaining elements shall not exceed 2 mm. 4.4 Gaps Requirements on specific gaps or spaces are found in: 4.3 Top bed safety barrier; 4.5 Bed base; 4.6.2 Dimensions of treads. All other accessible gaps or spa
33、ces of the bed construction shall be equal to or smaller than 25 mm but at least 12 mm, between 60 or 75 mm or equal to or bigger than 200 mm. EN 747-1:1993 4 BSI 02-1999 4.5 Bed base All gaps between the bed base and the side or ends shall not exceed 25 mm, when measured in accordance with 5.3 of E
