This European Standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for cribs (including cradles, suspended cribs and bedside sleepers) for domestic and non-domestic use. The requirements apply to cribs with a maximum internal length of base of 900 mm which are intended to provide sleeping accommodation for infants, until they are able to sit unaided or pull or push themselves up on their hands and knees. The safety requirements do not apply to the electrical elements of the cribs or to cribs used for medical purposes or used in hospitals. Products that can be converted into other items may be covered by other relevant European standards. Annex A (informative) includes a rationale.
