This European Standard shall be given the status of a national Standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, and conflicting national standards withdrawn, by September 1996 at the latest. In accordance with the
12、 CENKENELEC Internal regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
13、, and the United Kingdom. O Introduction This European Standard has been prepared in order to establish a method for the determination of the essential dimensions of mattresses, bed frames, divans and bed bases. Given the fact that a large variety of bed designs exists in Europe, in order to help ma
14、nufacturers, retailers and con- sumers to get the correct fit between the bed components, a nominal dimension, D, has been introduced and toler- ances on nominal dimension are recommended. 1 Scope This European Standard describes a method of measure- ment for determining the dimensions of all types
15、of dornes- tic mattresses, bed frames, divans and bed bases intended for use by adults. It does not apply to air beds and water beds nor to mattress pads that are placed on top of the main support mattress. It also includes recommended tolerances based on any nominal dimension in order to ensure the
16、 correct fit be- tween the bed components. However, specific requirements apply to the dimensions of bed bases for bunkbeds and single beds for use at a height of the upper face of the bed base of 800mm and more above floor level (EN 747-1). 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates
17、, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These nor- mative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
18、 Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For un- dated references, the latest edition of the publication re- ferred to applies. EN 747-1 Bunkbeds for domestic use. Part 1: Safety re- quirements 3 Definitions For the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply:
19、3.1 facturer to describe the size of an item. nominal dimension: Dimension used by the manu- 3.2 unframed slat base: Bed base consisting of sepa- rate slats flexibly held together normally by means of tex- tile, rubber or plastic tape. NOTE: When loading one slat, the load is trans- ferred to the su
20、pport by that slat only. 3.3 framed base: Bed base consisting of slats, springs, etc. which are connected to a structural frame system. NOTE: When loading one component (e.g. a slat or a spring) only, the load is transmitted from the frame to the support. 3.4 framed sprung mattress: Upholstered bed
21、base consisting of springs, topped with fillings, on a rigid frame to be used in a bed frame or free-standing. 3.5 divan base: Upholstered bed base used without the need of any framework. It may be constructed with a spring filling or a solid top and may include drawers or storage facilities. Page 3
22、 EN 1334: 1996 4 General test conditions 4.1 Preparation The item shall be tested as delivered. If of the knock-down type, it shall be assembled according to the instructions supplied with the furniture. Assembly fittings shall be tightened before testing. Where items have been compressed by packagi
23、ng or stor- age, these shall be allowed to recover unconstrained for at least 24 hours or according to the manufacturers recom- mendations, whichever is the longest. 4.2 Measuring accuracy Forces shall be measured to an accuracy of *5% and di- mensions, to an accuracy of fl mm. 5 Test equipment 5.1
24、Support surface Rigid, horizontal, flat. For the mattress measurements, it shall have a smooth melamine surface. The dimensions of the support surface shall be greater than those of the item under test. 5.2 Lateral loading pads Rigid, rectangular and vertical: 300 mm in height and 500 mm in width. T
25、he loading pads shall be mounted on a horizontal force application device which can apply a force as specified in 6.1. Where dimensions, as the bottom of the item, are designed to be smaller than the top, the lower dimension can be measured using loading pads 50 mm in height and 500 mm in width. 5.3
26、 Square aluminium alloy tube 40 mm x 40 mm x 2 mm, approximately 3 m long, having a mass of 2,5 kg * 12,5 g. 6 Methods of measurement 6.1 External plan dimensions of mattresses and bed bases For measuring the length and width of mattresses, bed bases and divan bases, place the item on the support su
27、r- face (see 5.1). Position the loading pads (see 5.2) at as low a level as possible (in contact with the support surface) to opposite sides of the item and parallel to each other. Apply an horizontal inward force of 15 N to each pad and measure the distance between the loadings pads. For mattresses
28、 less than 50 mm in height, the force shall be 5 N. For the determination of width, three measurements shall be taken: - two with the centreline of the loading pads 250 mm from the end of the item, - one with the centreline of the loading pads coinciding with the centreline of the item. The width sh
29、all be the mean from three readings. For determination of length, the number of measurements depends on the width of the items as follows: - for width less than 1 O00 mm, one measurement shall be taken at the centreline of the item: - for width from 1 O00 to 1400 mm, measurements shall be taken with
30、 the centreline of the loading pads 250 mm from the edge of the item; - for width larger than 1400 mm, follow the procedure for width measurement. The length shall be the mean value (where relevant) of the two or three readings. The measurement positions for bed bases which fit into a bed frame shal
31、l always be those giving the maximum di- mensions. The length of unframed slat bases shall be measured with- out loading. 6.2 Internal plan demensions of bed frames Place the item on the support surface (see 5.1). Apply the same procedures as in 6.1 except that the loading pads are to be positioned
32、inside the frame and the forces applied outwards. The measurement positions relevant for the fit of bed bases shall always be those giving the minimum dimensions. NOTE: Owing to the design there may be different dimensions for the fit of the mattress and for the fit of the bed base. 6.3 Determinatio
33、n of the height of mattress and divan bases Place the item on the support surface (see 5.1). Rest the aluminium tube (see 5.3) diagonally on the mat- tress (or divan base) so that the centre of the tube coincides with the geometric centre of the top plane of the mattress or divan base. Measure the d
34、istances between the tube and the support surface at each corner of the item. Repeat on the other diagonal. The height shall be the mean of the four readings. 7 Recommended tolerances In order to ensure that the bed components fit together, the following tolerances to the nominal dimensions are reco
35、m- mended. 7.1 Internal frame dimension Width and length: DZ mm 7.2 Mattress to fit into a bed Width and length: mm Height: D: f10mm or lo%, whichever is lower 7.3 Framed bases and framed sprung mattress Width: mm Length: U:; mm 7.4 Divan bases Width and length: D k 20 mm Height: D f 10 mm 7.5 Mattr
36、esses to be placed on a divan base Width and length: D I20 mm Height: Df 10mm or lo%, whichever is lower 7.6 Unframed slat bases Width: D:yo mm Length: DI:;, mm Page 4 EN 1334 1996 8 Test report The test report shall include at least the following informa- tion: d) test results, in millimetres, according to clauses 6 and 7; e) information on any deviations from this standard; 9 the name and address of the test house; g) date of test. a) a reference to EN 1334; b) the unit tested (relevant data); c) description of condition of units on supply;
