Suspended baby beds shall not pose flammability risks in the child’s environment. They shall be composed of materials which fulfil at least one of the following conditions:

• they do not burn if directly exposed to a flame or spark,

• if they do ignite, they shall burn slowly with a low rate of spread of the flame,

• if they do ignite, they shall burn slowly and shall not produce flaming debris or melting drops.

In addition, combustible materials shall not release toxic fumes during combustion.

The use of chemical flame retardant substances should be kept to the minimum. If chemical flame retardant substances are used, their toxicity during use and end-of-life disposal should not endanger the health of the users, carers and the environment.
