Foldable baby cots designed for the EU market must comply with the stringent EN 716 safety standards (EN 716-1 and EN 716-2), ensuring optimal safety for children aged 0–3 years. Key features include:

Structural Safety: Slat spacing ≤6.5 cm to prevent entrapment, smooth edges, and adjustable mattress heights to minimize fall risks. Foldable models require dual locking mechanisms to avoid accidental collapse.


Material Compliance: Non-toxic, formaldehyde-free materials with anti-corrosion treatments for metal parts. Compliance with REACH regulations ensures low levels of heavy metals (e.g., lead, cadmium) and phthalates.


Rigorous Testing: Mechanical strength tests (50 kg static load), 1,000-cycle fold/unfold tests, and stability assessments under simulated use conditions.


CE Marking: Mandatory certification via EU-approved labs, accompanied by detailed technical documentation and user instructions (installation, warnings, maintenance).


Ideal for compact living spaces, EN 716-certified foldable cots prioritize child safety, durability, and ease of use, meeting EU parents’ expectations for reliability and regulatory compliance.
