European Commission Decision 2010376 officially mandates CEN to develop specific standards to ensure the safety of products intended for children’s sleeping environment, including:

• covers cot mattresses,
• cot bumpers,
• suspended baby beds,
• duvets for children,
• children’s sleep bags.
The technical standards should cover risks arising from the use of these items such as, for example, risk of entrapment, fall, chocking and structural integrity.
