The so-called free combination is fine-tuned, and few furniture can be adjusted according to the child's growth needs.

The country’s first “General Technical Conditions for Children’s Furniture”, which will be launched during the year, may be a market situation that will confuse regulations. It is understood that the "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture " for the first time clarifies that children's furniture should be suitable for children aged 3-14.


In addition to the detailed definition of the sharp corners, protruding parts, cavities, gap size and stability of children's furniture , the standards are more restrictive in the control of toxic and hazardous substances. In addition, the standard also puts specific requirements on some software furniture dyes and PH values.

 

According to industry insiders, the new standard specifies the limits for the use of toxic and hazardous substances and the use of safety warning signs. After the implementation of the new standard, the safety, environmental protection and practicality of children's furniture will be improved and improved. In addition to regulating the market, the new standard will also play a good guiding role for consumers to buy children's furniture .
