EN 747 Bunk Bed Standard Explained

What Is the EN 747 Standard for Bunk Beds?

EN 747 is the European safety standard that governs the structural strength, guard-rail geometry and durability of bunk beds and other high beds. For B2B buyers specifying beds for hostels, dormitories, camps, prisons and worker accommodation, EN 747 is the baseline that tells you whether a frame will survive commercial, multi-shift use rather than light home use.

EN 747-1 vs EN 747-2

PartScopeWhat it tests
EN 747-1Bunk beds and high bedsStatic and dynamic load on berths and ladder, guard-rail height and gap, entrapment, stability
EN 747-2Ladders, guard-rails and safety barriersStrength and geometry of access and fall-protection components

The current edition in active use is EN 747-1:2024. Zehao metal bunk beds are built and third-party tested to this edition.

Key Requirements a Buyer Should Check

  • Berth load: Zehao frames are SGS load-tested to 200 kg per berth (premium line) and a verified 120 kg per berth economy line — both well above typical residential ratings.
  • Guard rail: continuous top berth protection with controlled gap to prevent roll-out.
  • Stability: no tipping under asymmetric load; welded steel joints, not clip connectors.
  • No entrapment: spacing rules for bars and openings.

Why EN 747 Matters for Institutional Buyers

Procurement officers and tender documents in the EU, Middle East, Australia (by reference) and many Asian projects require EN 747 compliance plus an independent test report. A supplier who can show an SGS test report and CE / ISO 9001 certificates reduces your customs and liability risk.
