All of our products meet or exceed all of the current ASTM standards for bunk bed safety. The ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards for bunk/loft bed safety include:

The following is an except. To read the full and complete findings of the Consumer Product Safety Commissions' findings on bunk beds click here.

SUMMARY: The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) has
determined that unreasonable risks of injury and death are associated with
bunk beds that are constructed so that children can become entrapped in the
beds’ structure or become wedged between the bed and a wall.

This document issues the final rules mandating bunk bed performance
requirements to reduce this hazard. The rules are issued under both the Federal
Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA), for bunk beds intended for use by children,
and the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), for bunk beds not ‘‘intended’’
for (but often used by) children.

These rules will become effective
June 19, 2000 and will apply to all bunk beds manufactured in the United States,
or imported, on or after that date. requires:

Guardrails on both sides of the upper bunk, except for up to 15 inches
at each end of the bed.

The upper edge of the guardrails shall be no less than 5
inches above the top surface of the mattress when a mattress of the
maximum thickness specified by the bed manufacturer’s instructions is on
the bed.

Guardrails shall be attached so that they cannot be removed without
either intentionally releasing a fastening device or applying forces sequentially in
different directions.

That openings in the structure surrounding the upper bunk be small
enough to prevent passage of a tapered block having a base measuring 3.5
inches by 6.2 inches.

That openings in the end structures and the FHSA rule addresses hazards
associated with bunk beds intended for use by children.
