EN 1957:2012 Folding Bed Certificate — UDEM Durability & Mattress Firmness
EN 1957:2012 Folding Bed — Durability & Mattress Firmness Verified by UDEM
An accredited notified body has tested our folding bed and mattress set for durability and firmness under the European standard EN 1957:2012. Here is exactly what that certificate proves — and just as important, what it does not.
What EN 1957:2012 Actually Verifies
EN 1957:2012 is the European standard Mattresses and divans — Test methods for determining durability, dimensions and firmness characteristics of mattresses. In plain terms, it measures two things about the bed-and-mattress set that a guest actually sleeps on:
- Durability. A loaded roller is rolled across the mattress surface for tens of thousands of cycles to prove the cushioning and bed base do not collapse, soften unevenly, or lose support over years of nightly use.
- Firmness (hardness). A calibrated indenter measures how much the mattress yields under load, so the sleeping surface is quantified and consistent — not a vague "medium" claim.
The standard also checks functional dimensions and the stability of the mattress on its base. For a rollaway guest bed that is unfolded, slept on, and folded away repeatedly in hotels, hospitals and staff dormitories, this is the evidence that matters: the surface a person lies on stays supportive and safe for the product's service life.
Important: EN 1957:2012 is not a folding-mechanism safety test
This certificate covers the mattress and bed-set durability and firmness. It does not assess the folding hinge, the locking mechanism, the swivel casters, or the fold-open / fold-closed cycle life. Those are separate engineering requirements — covered by general furniture mechanical-safety provisions and by our own in-house fold-cycle validation — and should not be read into this document. If your specification needs proof of the folding action itself, ask us for the relevant test data; we keep that separate from the EN 1957:2012 mattress-set certificate so each claim is traceable to its own report.
The Certificate — Issued by UDEM
UDEM (UDEM International Certification Auditing Training Centre) is a Turkish notified body. The attestation of conformity below names Tianjin Zehao Furniture Co., Ltd. and the folding bed product line (brand/model/type ZH/ZH006/24LTH12821), tested to EN 1957:2012. The certificate is valid from 08 October 2024 to 07 October 2029 and can be verified on the issuer's website.
The Certified Product: Camp Mobile Metal Rollaway Folding Bed MFB-005
The folding bed line covered by this certificate is represented on our site by the Camp Mobile Metal Rollaway Folding Bed MFB-005 — a welded steel frame on swivel casters with a 10 cm foam mattress, built to fold flat for storage in guest rooms, wards and dormitories. The EN 1957:2012 result confirms the mattress-and-base set delivers durable, consistently firm support; the steel frame itself is validated separately to SGS 200 kg and the EN 747 / CE / ISO 9001 framework the company holds.
What This Means for Bulk & Tender Buyers
When you specify folding beds for a hotel fit-out, a hospital accompanying bed program, a student or worker dormitory, or a refugee / correctional housing project, sleep-surface durability and firmness are frequently written into the procurement spec. This UDEM certificate is the third-party document that satisfies that line item — and because it names the manufacturer directly, your compliance and QA teams can trace it without a middleman.
| Buyer scenario | How the certificate helps |
|---|---|
| EU / EEA tender with a mattress-durability clause | EN 1957:2012 is the cited standard; UDEM is an accepted notified body |
| Hotel & hospital procurement QA | Third-party proof the sleeping surface is durable and correctly firm |
| Dormitory & institutional bulk order | Traceable to Tianjin Zehao Furniture; supports factory-direct supply |
| Distributor private-label program | Certificate travels with the product line (ZH006 / 24LTH12821) |
