EN 747 vs EN 1725: Bunk Bed Standards for Europe
European buyers and public tenders reference several standards. This guide untangles EN 747, EN 1725, CE and ISO 9001 so you can assemble a compliant documentation package.
EN 747 — bunk beds specifically
The core standard for raised and bunk beds: structure, guardrails, ladder and load. Zehao's European-market bunk beds are built and tested to it.
EN 1725 — frames and mattresses
Covers domestic bed frames and mattresses; used together with EN 747 when you supply the complete sleeping system including mattress.
CE marking and ISO 9001
CE shows the product meets EU directives; ISO 9001 certification shows the factory runs a documented quality system. Both appear in serious EU tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need both EN 747 and EN 1725?
If you supply frame only, EN 747 is the key standard. If you supply mattress too, add EN 1725 for the complete system.
Is CE the same as EN 747?
No. EN 747 is a test standard; CE is the mark that the product conforms to applicable EU law, which may reference EN 747.
Where do I get the certificates?
Request them from the manufacturer with the specific model and test-report number; keep them in the tender file alongside the invoice.
