TS 8194 Wooden Furniture - Standard Test for Bedstead

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of TS 8194 test. TS 8194 is a Turkish standard that determines the requirements and test methods for wooden bedsteads. This standard covers all types of wooden bedsteads, including single, double and bunk beds, designed for indoor and outdoor use.

The standard covers various aspects of wooden bedsteads, including:

• Materials: The standard requires wooden bedsteads to be made of solid wood or wood-based materials such as plywood or chipboard. The moisture content of the wood should be between 8-12% and the surface should be free from defects such as knots or cracks. The standard also requires cots to be durable and resistant to wear and tear.
• Dimensions and tolerances: TS 8194 specifies the minimum and maximum dimensions for bedsteads, including length, width and height. The standard also provides tolerances for these dimensions to ensure the bedsteads are of consistent quality.
• Strength and stability: The standard requires that the bedsteads be able to withstand a certain load without breaking or deforming. Load testing involves applying weight to the cot over a period of time. The standard also requires that bedsteads be sturdy and resistant to tipping, especially for bunk beds and other multi-level designs.
• Safety: TS 8194 includes safety requirements such as fall prevention guards and warnings about the bed's weight capacity. The standard also requires that bedsteads be free of sharp edges or protrusions that could cause injury.
• Packaging and labeling: The standard provides guidelines for packaging and labeling cribs, including assembly and use instructions. Bedsteads should be packed in such a way that they will not be damaged during transportation and their labels should include information such as weight capacity and assembly instructions.

In general, TS 8194 ensures that wooden bedsteads produced and sold in Turkey meet minimum safety and quality standards. By following the guidelines set out in this standard, manufacturers can ensure that their products are safe, durable and fit for purpose.
