ISO/TC 136 N 643, ISO/NP 9098-2 Bunk beds - Safety requirements and tests - Part 2: Test methods

Scope

This part of ISO 9098 specifies test methods for the safety, strength and durability of bunk beds and high beds for domestic and non-domestic use.

The tests are designed to be applied to a bed that is fully assembled and ready for use. The applicable safety requirements are given in ISO 9098-1.

Purpose

Bunk beds including high beds are widely used in those circumstances without sufficient living space such as schools, dormitories, and other residences, etc. Therefore, these products are highly risky for both children and adults for domestic and non-domestic use in case the ladder, safety barrier or such protecting parts work ineffectively.

This standard gives the corresponding test methods to assess the safety and mechanical properties of bunk beds, mainly include safety of safety barriers, accessible holes, gaps and openings, strength and durability of bed base(s), ladder and frame and stability, etc.

This standard gives manufacturers a guidance to modify their products and can reduce the using risks for the end-users.
