This Part of EN 716 describes test methods that assess the safety of children's cots and folding cots for domestic use.
It applies to cots and folding cots with an internal length between 900 mm and 1400 mm that are designed to prevent the child from climbing out. It does not cover rocking and swinging cots.
The tests are designed to be applied to a cot that is fully assembled and ready for use.
NOTE. The test results are only valid for the article tested. When the test results are intended to be applied to other similar articles, the test specimen should be representative of the production model.
In the case of designs not catered for in the test procedures, the test should be carried out as far as possible as described, and a list made of the deviations from the test procedure.
