BS EN 747-1:2012+A1:2015 PDF Download

Bunk beds and high beds used for domestic and non-domestic purposes must meet the safety, strength, and durability requirements of the BS EN 747-1:2012+A1:2015 standard. This standard is applicable to high beds that meet a height requirement of 600 mm or more from the floor to the upper surface of the top bed base. The beds used for the strength and durability testing must have an internal length of at least 140 cm and a maximum bed base width of 120 cm.

This standard seeks to reduce accident risk, particularly for young people. It concentrates on the sizes and design elements that add to the security of these beds. However, it should be noted that this standard does not include safety criteria for extra goods, such as tables or storage equipment, that might be included in a bunk bed or high bed.

It is crucial to realize that this requirement does not apply to specialty bunk beds and high beds used in institutions, the military, or fire departments, among other settings. The specifications in this standard are especially directed at beds with a single occupant.
