B2C Furniture is certified by the ACCC and adhere to their strict safety regulations for the design and construction of childrens furniture and bunk beds, including safety mandates and the use of non-toxic materials in our furniture. Please see the breakdown and individual measurements related to the construction mandates below:
| Product Safety Mandates - Design & Construction | Rio Bunk Bed | Myer Bunk Bed | Compliant? |
GUARDRAILS: Bunk beds must have permanent guardrails to all four sides. The vertical distance between the upper surface of the guardrail and the upper surface of the mattress base must be at least 260 mm. | 400mm | 310mm | TRUE |
DANGEROUS GAPS: Bunk beds must not have any gaps that can trap a child’s head or limbs. Gaps must not be: - between 95 mm and 230 mm, as a child’s head and neck may become trapped - between 30 mm and 50 mm, as a child’s limbs may become trapped - greater than 400 mm—such as in the guard rail—as they could allow a child to roll or fall out of the bunk. | Slats - 90mm Guardrails - 75mm | Slats - 75mm Guardrails - 75mm | TRUE |
PROTRUSIONS: Parts of a bunk bed that stick out (protrusions) greater than 8 mm are not allowed. These provide hanging points that can lead to strangulation or accidental hanging. | No protrusions | No protrusions | TRUE |
