This European Standard specifies safety requirements for children’s cots for domestic use with an internal length greater than 900 mm but not more than 1 400 mm. The requirements apply to a cot that is fully assembled and ready for use. For cots that can be converted into other items e.g. changing units, playpens additional requirements can apply. This European Standard does not apply to carry cots, cribs and cradles for which a separate European standard exists.
