A safety standard known as BS EN 16780:2018 focuses primarily on the specifications and testing procedures for child cot bumpers used in textile child care products. The purpose of this standard is to provide rules for the design, manufacture, and functionality of cot bumpers in order to protect children.

The standard applies to all textile materials used in cot bumpers intended for infants up to 36 months of age and replaces the previous BS EN 16780:2015 edition. It comprises specifications for flammability, chemical composition, and mechanical safety, as well as elements like the size, form, and construction of cot bumpers.

Additionally, producers and regulatory organizations can assess the compliance of cot bumpers with the safety requirements using the comprehensive test procedures provided by BS EN 16780:2018. These tests include evaluations for entrapment risks, sharp edges, tiny parts, and flammability resistance.
