SAFETY STANDARDS

In 2002, in response to public health and safety issues the Consumer Affairs Division of The Treasury introduced a mandatory safety regulation in the form of Consumer Product Safety Standard: Bunk Beds. This standard focuses on the elimination of potential entrapment hazards, snags, and hanging points to ensure safe and comfortable use.

The safety standard focuses on:

• Guard rail specifications such as size, position and strength of the rail.
  Elimination of gaps in either the guard rail or bunk frame that could be potential points of entrapment.
• Removal of any protrusions that could potentially snag onto clothing and possibly lead to injury
• Since the 1st of November 2002, all suppliers and retailers in the Australian market have been required to sell bunks that satisfy this new Consumer Product Safety Standard: Bunk Beds.

Our Range of bunks comply to the AS/NZS 4220; 2003 issued in December 2008. The highest level of compliance in Australia.
