AS/NZS 2172:2010 PDF Download

The goal of AS/NZS 2172:2010 is to guarantee the security of cots used in homes. The standards for labeling and marking, as well as the materials used, design, construction, performance, and other features of cots, are all covered by the standard. The standard's objective is to put children's safety and well-being first.

It is significant to note that the majority of folding cot types are not covered by the standard because they are governed by AS/NZS 2195, a different standard. However, timber folding cots or cots made of stiff materials must still adhere to the relevant AS/NZS 2172 criteria.

As stated in AS/NZS 2130, there are particular specifications for cots used in daycare centers, hospitals, and other institutions. This highlights the requirement for customized standards based on various usage cases.
