Overview
EN 716-2:2008/FprA1:2012 is the CEN test-methods standard for children’s cots and folding cots for domestic use (Part 2). It defines laboratory procedures to assess safety performance of cots with an internal length greater than 900 mm and not more than 1 400 mm. Part 2 complements the requirements part of the EN 716 series by specifying how to perform the physical and mechanical tests used to demonstrate compliance.
Key topics and technical requirements
This standard focuses on reproducible test procedures and includes (among other items) the following technical topics:
- Measurement protocols - procedures for measuring clearances and footholds, including use of a test dummy when measuring from mattress or mattress base.
- Flexible foothold testing - use of a foothold template pushed against flexible materials with a horizontal force up to 30 N and then a vertical downward force of 150 N; measurements are taken from the bottom of the template.
- Slat strength tests - application of a 250 N force to slats (middle and end slats and any slat likely to cause failure) to assess load resistance.
- Stability tests - initial and final stability test procedures (stability is repeated after other tests to confirm residual safety).
- Definitions of rigid vs flexible components - guidance on when fabrics, seams or cords are considered non-rigid for test set-up.
- National deviations - Annex A documents national deviations (example: Sweden’s requirement that bed base slat spacing ≤ 25 mm).
Note: This document is a draft amendment (prA1) that modifies EN 716‑2:2008; tests and figures are renumbered and some clauses revised to clarify test execution.
Applications and who uses it
EN 716-2 is used by:
- Manufacturers and product designers to validate cot designs and select materials that meet safety test criteria.
- Independent test laboratories for type testing, certification and issuing conformity reports.
- Regulatory bodies and conformity assessors to evaluate compliance with European safety expectations for domestic cots.
- Retailers and procurement teams to verify supplied products meet established test methods.
- Consumer safety organizations for independent evaluation and comparison of cot safety.
Practical uses include prototype testing, production quality checks, failure analysis after incidents, and supporting declarations of conformity.
Related standards
- EN 716 (Part 1) - general safety requirements for children’s cots (requirements referenced by Part 2 test methods).
- Other CEN furniture safety standards and national regulations that may include deviations (see Annex A for national notes such as Sweden).
