18、s been prepared in order to provide assurance that domestic beds complying with the requirements are reasonably safe. It is intended to prevent serious injury through normal functional use, as well as misuse that might reasonably be expected to occur. It should be understood that the tests do not en

19、sure that structural failure will not eventually occur as a result of habitual misuse or after an excessively long period of use. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies mechanical safety requirements and testing for all types of fully erected domestic adult beds including all component elements su

20、ch as bed frame, bed base, mattress and mattress pads (when they form a unit with the mattress). It does not apply to foldaway beds, bunk beds, childrens cots and adjustable beds for disabled persons where separate standards exist, as well as waterbeds and air beds. Further tests may be applicable f

21、or test units that are multi-purpose, e.g. convertible sofa beds and power driven systems. Assessment for ageing and degradation are not included. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references

22、 are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references, the late

23、st edition of the publication referred to applies. EN 1022, Domestic furniture Seating Determination of stability. ISO 2439, Flexible cellular polymeric materials Determination of hardness (indentation technique). 3 Definitions For the purposes of this standard the following definitions apply. 3.1 u

24、nframed slat base bed base consisting of separate slats flexibly held together normally by means of textile, rubber or plastic tape NOTE When loading one slat, the load is transferred to the support by that slat only. 3.2 framed base bed base consisting of slats, springs, etc., which are connected t

25、o a structural frame system NOTE When loading one component only, e.g. a slat or a spring, the load is distributed by the frame to the support. 3.3 framed sprung mattress upholstered bed base consisting of springs, topped with fillings, on a rigid frame to be used in a bed frame or freestanding 3.4

26、divan base upholstered bed base used without the need of any framework. It may be constructed with a spring filling or a solid top and may include drawers or storage facilities 4 General test conditions 4.1 Preliminary preparation Before any of the tests are commenced, the test unit shall be old eno

27、ugh to ensure that it has developed its full strength. The test unit shall be tested as delivered. Knock-down furniture shall be assembled according to the instructions supplied with it. If the test unit can be assembled or combined in different ways, the most adverse combination shall be used for e

28、ach test. Knock-down fittings shall be tightened before testing if applicable. Further tightening shall not take place unless this is specifically required by the manufacturer. The test unit shall be stored in indoor ambient conditions for at least one week immediately prior to testing. Any deviatio

29、n from this procedure shall be stated in the report. The tests shall be carried out in indoor ambient conditions, but if during a test the atmospheric temperature is outside the range 158Ct o2 58 C, the maximum and/or minimum temperature shall be recorded in the test report. 4.2 Test equipment The f

30、orces in static load and durability tests shall be applied sufficiently slowly to ensure that negligible dynamic load is applied. Test forces, unless otherwise stated, may be applied by any suitable device because results are not dependent upon the apparatus. 4.3 Tolerances Unless otherwise stated:

31、all forces shall have an accuracy of 5 % of the nominal force; all masses shall have an accuracy of 0,5 % of the nominal mass; all dimensions shall have an accuracy of 1m m of the nominal dimension.

33、sliding but not tilting and shall be no higher than 12 mm except in cases where the design of the bed requires the use of higher stops; in which case the lowest that will prevent the bed from moving, shall be used. 5.3 Standard test mattress Flexible polyether foam with a thickness of 100 mm, a dens

34、ity of (30 2) kg/m 3 and an indentation hardness index of (170 20) N in accordance with A40 in ISO/DIS 2439.
