News from the ACCC

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is responsible for the administration of mandatory consumer product safety and information standards created under the Trade Practices Act 1974. These include the Consumer Product Safety Standard for Bunk Beds, on which the ACCC is currently conducting a review.

Due to recent cases of non-compliance with this standard, the ACCC is conducting an information campaign to inform suppliers of bunk beds (including manufacturers, importers, wholesalers and retailers) about their legal requirements in supplying bunk beds under the mandatory standard.

Visit the ACCC Website at www.accc.gov.au for more information, including the ACCC fact sheet Bunk Beds: complying with the mandatory standard, a copy of the Consumer Product Safety Standard for Bunk Beds and a media release on bunk bed recalls which followed a program of product surveys undertaken by the ACCC and some subsequent enforcement action.
