If you are specifying bunk beds for an Australian camp, hostel, mining village or student accommodation, AS/NZS 4220:2026 is the standard you must meet. This page explains what the standard requires, the compliance levels, and how Zehao supplies beds that meet it.
What AS/NZS 4220:2026 Covers
AS/NZS 4220 sets the safety requirements for bunk beds and other raised beds supplied to the Australian and New Zealand market, including guard-rail performance, structural loading, entrapment limits and marking. The 2026 edition is the current version buyers and certifiers reference.
Compliance Levels (Overview)
| Level | Typical use | Key expectation |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Domestic / light use | Basic residential safety |
| Level 2 | Commercial hostels, camps, accommodation | Higher load and durability for multi-user, high-turnover |
| Level 3 | Institutional / high-demand | Most stringent, continuous heavy use |
For commercial camps and hostels, Level 2 is the usual procurement threshold. Zehao beds are engineered to meet Level 2 loading on an EN 747-1:2024 structural basis with SGS-verified 200 kg per berth.
