New BAS standards adopted by translation method

BiH standards:

BAS EN 15372: 2019, Furniture - Strength, durability and safety - Requirements for non-domestic tables,
BAS EN 716-1: 2019, Furniture – Children’s cots and folding cots for domestic use - Part 1: Safety requirements and
BAS EN 716-2: 2019, Furniture - Children’s cots and folding cots for domestic use - Part 2: Test methods, was adopted by the translation method.

BAS EN 15372: 2019 specifies requirements for the safety, strength and durability of all types of non-domestic tables, including those with glass in their construction. It does not apply to office work tables or desks, tables for educational institutions and outdoor tables for which EN standards exist. With exception of the stability tests, this standard does not provide assessment of the suitability of any storage features included in non-domestic tables. It does not include requirements for the durability of castors and height adjustment mechanisms, electrical safety, resistance to aging, degradation. The standard has two annexes:

  • Annex A (Informative) Additional test requirements, and
  • Annex B (informative) Test severity in relation to application.

 

BAS EN 716-1: 2019 specifies the requirements relating to the safety of children’s cots for domestic. It applies to cots and folding cots, with an internal length between 900 mm and 1400 mm. The requirements apply to a cot that is fully assembled and ready for use. Cots can be converted into other items, e.g. changing units, playpens. This European standard does not apply to carry cots, cribs and cradles for which a separate European standard exists.

 

BAS EN 716-2: 2019 specifies test methods for assessing the safety of children’s cots and folding cots for domestic use. It applies to children’s cots and folding cots with an internal length greater than 900 mm but not more than 1400 mm.
The original texts of European standards have been prepared by the Technical Committee CEN/TC 207 “Furniture”, whose secretariat is held by UNI.
