Essential Product compliance for Children’s Sleep Environments in the EU and UK
This webinar provides a comprehensive overview of the safety risks associated with key nursery products used in infant sleep environments, including sleep bags, cot duvets, and cot bumpers. Drawing on injury data and recent regulatory developments, the session will address hazards such as entrapment, suffocation, strangulation, overheating, fire, and chemical exposure in both the UK and EU.
We’ll explore how these risks are managed under European legislation and safety standards, including BS EN 16781 (sleep bags), BS EN 16779-1 (cot duvets), and BS EN 16780 (cot bumpers). The session will also cover key testing and design requirements, along with best practices for product labelling, user information, and ongoing compliance.
Led by Dave Smith, Technical Director at Intertek, this webinar is a must-attend for manufacturers, retailers, and QA professionals involved in the development or sale of child sleep products.
