EN 716-1:2017 Testing Service for Children's Cots & Folding Cots by CDG Inspection Limited
The safety and quality of children's cots and folding cots are critical for ensuring a secure sleeping environment for infants. CDG Inspection Limited provides specialized testing services to ensure compliance with EN 716-1:2017, which sets out safety requirements for cots and folding cots used in domestic settings.
Key Aspects of EN 716-1:2017 Testing
Structural Stability: We test the cot’s structural integrity to ensure it remains stable and secure under normal use. This includes assessing the robustness of joints, legs, and overall construction to prevent tipping or collapse.
Load-Bearing Capacity: Our tests evaluate the cot’s ability to support weight without compromising safety. This includes simulating the weight of a child and assessing the cot’s performance under this load.
Safety Features: We examine safety elements such as the height of the sides, the strength of the mattress support, and the effectiveness of locking mechanisms. This is to ensure that there are no gaps or hazards that could pose risks to infants.
Material and Finish: Testing includes checking the materials used for any harmful substances, ensuring that finishes are non-toxic and safe for children. We also assess the quality of the materials to ensure durability and safety.
Folding Mechanism: For folding cots, we test the folding and unfolding mechanisms to ensure they operate smoothly and safely. This includes evaluating ease of use and the stability of the cot when set up.
Durability Testing: We simulate various usage conditions to assess how well the cot holds up over time. This includes testing for resistance to wear and tear, impact, and repeated use.
