Requirements for cots suitable for general purpose use in hospitals or similar institutions.

This British Standard specifies requirements for children\'s cots suitable for general purpose use in hospitals and similar institutions.

This standard does not apply to cribs, travelling cots, cots that are convertible into beds, and domestic cots.

This standard does not specify requirements for buffering but buffering devices may be fitted as an option (see Appendix B).

This standard does not apply to cot mattresses.
