DANSK DSF/ISO/FDIS 19833 PDF

This International Standard specifies test methods for determining the stability, strength and durability for all types of fully assembled beds including bed frames and bed bases. This International standard applies to adult beds for domestic and non-domestic use. It does not apply to waterbeds, airbeds, foldaway beds, bunk beds, and beds for people with special needs, nor to beds for healthcare and medical purposes. Test methods for the assessment of aging, degradation, fire resistance and electrical functions are not included. Other methods for strength and durability of storage components, seating surfaces and other features associated with beds are covered by other standards. Where a bed incorporates additional functions such as storage, electrically adjustability or conversion from a sofa to a bed, additional tests can be applicable. This International Standard does not give any product requirements. These can be specified in a requirements document. If this is not available, possible forces and cycles are suggested in Annex A (informative). The tests are not intended to assess the durability of upholstery, e.g. filling materials and covers.
