BS EN 12221-1:2008+A1:2013 PDF Download

The safety standards for changing units in household settings used by kids with body weights up to 15 kg are outlined in the BS EN 12221-1:2008+A1:2013 standard. The standard only addresses the function of the changing unit and excludes any further uses the device might have, such as turning into a cot or piece of storage furniture. When the new unit performs additional tasks, it must adhere to other pertinent criteria.

According to the standard, the changing unit can be folded, and other objects, such as a child bathtub, are permitted. Only when changing pads are built into the changing unit are they regarded as being in compliance with the standard. This standard's goal is to guarantee children's safety while changing diapers, taking into account things like stability, the materials used, sharp edges, strangulation risks, and more. This standard's adherence aids in ensuring that residential changing units adhere to the necessary safety standards.
