Folding cots - Safety requirements
Provides regulatory authorities with essential safety requirements and manufacturers with functional, durability, stability and performance criteria to reduce the likelihood of death or injury to infants occupying folding cots. Incorporates requirements for accessories such as bassinets, change tables, mosquito nets and specifically addresses the need for better marking and labelling requirements to prevent potential entrapment and suffocation hazards associated with these products if not used or assembled according to manufacturers' instructions.
