DIN Standards Committee Timber and Furniture

Overview

This European Standard specifies safety requirements for children's cots for domestic use with an internal length greater than 900 mm but not more than 1 400 mm. The requirements apply to a cot that is fully assembled and ready for use. For cots that can be converted into other items, such as changing units, playpens additional requirements can apply. This European Standard does not apply to carry cots, cribs and cradles for which a separate European standard exists. This standard includes safety requirements within the meaning of the German Product Safety Act (ProdSG). This document (EN 716-1:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 207 "Furniture", the secretariat of which is held by UNI (Italy). Clarifications have been made regarding movable side parts and in the instructions for use, and changes have been made regarding distances and labeling. In addition, a warning has been added regarding the risk of adding a second mattress to the bed. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 042-05-13 AA "Anforderungen an Kindermöbel, Spiegelausschuss CEN/TC 207/WG 2, CEN/TC 364" ("Requirements for children's and nursery furniture, (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 207/WG 2, CEN/TC 364)") at DIN Standards Committee Timber and Furniture (NHM).
