The safety standard is varied in the way set out in the consumer product safety standard—

declared by the Consumer Protection Notice No. 1 of 2003; and

as in force under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cwlth) at 1 January 2011.

For the safety standard, clause 6.4.1, a wall is taken to be a barrier for a bunk bed if—

permanently fixed to the wall; and

the wall complies with the safety standard—

for a wall that is not continuous from the floor to the ceiling of the room or other area in which the bunk bed is located—the wall complies with the safety standard, clause 6.4.2(b) and (c); and

for a wall that has a window in the area in which the bunk bed is located—the wall complies with the safety standard, clause 6.4.2(b) and (c).

For subsection (2)(c), the safety standard, clause 6.4.2(b) and (c) applies—

as if a reference to a guardrail included a reference to a wall; and

with any necessary modifications.

For subsection (2)(d), the safety standard, clause 6.4.2(b) and (c) applies—

as if a reference to an upper surface of a guardrail included a reference to a window ledge; and
