Australia Bunk Bed Compliance: AS/NZS 4220:2026
Zehao supplies metal bunk beds to Australian camps, holiday parks, dormitories, mines and correctional facilities. This page explains how our beds relate to the current Australian safety standard AS/NZS 4220:2026 and what we provide for tenders.
What is AS/NZS 4220:2026?
AS/NZS 4220:2026 Bunk beds and other elevated beds was published on 26 June 2026, superseding AS/NZS 4220:2010. It is the current Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard and applies to both domestic and non-domestic use — including camps, holiday parks, schools, hostels and institutions. The 2026 edition introduced two performance levels:
| Level | Intended use | Typical buyers |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | General domestic use | Households, low-traffic accommodation |
| Level 2 | Severe domestic / commercial use | Camps, holiday parks, dormitories, mines, correctional facilities |
Does Zehao meet AS/NZS 4220:2026?

- Guardrails: full-length upper-bunk guards, spacing per EN 747 / AS/NZS 4220.
- Structure: welded cold-rolled steel frame, KD flat-pack export packing.
- Finish: anti-rust electrostatic powder coating, standard RAL colours.

For camp, mining and correctional tenders
Where a project specifies AS/NZS 4220:2026 verification (commonly Level 2 for commercial and institutional use), Zehao can:
- Supply EN 747-1 test reports and material certificates as the structural baseline;
- Arrange AS/NZS 4220:2026 local verification through an accredited Australian laboratory on request — testing is project-specific and not mandatory for every order; EN 747-1 equivalence is widely accepted as the structural basis;
- Provide drawings, load-test reports and complete tender documentation for government / NGO submission.
Why Australian buyers choose Zehao
- Factory-direct pricing with transparent MOQ (100 sets) and 20–25 day lead time;
- Real institutional project references across Pacific and Africa;
- English tender packs and container-loading plans for port delivery (FOB Tianjin, CIF/DDU on request).
