Bunk beds find wide usage in places such as homes, hostels, hotels, schools, etc where efficient utilisation of space is essential. As bunk beds involve a high elevation of the bed, strength and safety become all the more important.

All products that are covered under the QCO shall be in conformance with the relevant Indian Standard and shall carry the BIS Standard Mark with a valid BIS License as per the terms and conditions of the order.

What Does IS 17636:2022 Contain?
