Furniture - Foldaway beds - Safety requirements and test methods prEN 1129-1 rev

Scope

This European Standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for foldaway beds for domestic and non-domestic use.
The requirements only apply to the foldaway function of the bed.
The safety, strength and durability of the bed itself, as well as other functions e.g. seating, tables or storage, are covered by other European Standards.
Safety that is dependent upon the structure of the building is not included, e.g. the strength of wall attachment only applies to the bed and its components including wall attachment devices. The wall, and the wall attachments are not included. With the exception of the durability test, clause 5.4.2, the standard does not apply to electrically operated foldaway beds.
The requirements apply without regard to materials, design, construction or manufacturing process.
This standard does not apply to folding beds, camping beds and convertible bed/chairs or settees which are covered by other European safety standards.
