International Testing and Certification Standards for Home Furnishings

EU standards

CE certification: In the field of home appliances, CE certification is a mandatory requirement for household appliances to enter the EU market, covering the Low Voltage Directive (LVD), Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMCD), Energy Efficiency Directive (ErP), Directive on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products (RoHS), and Waste Electrical and Electronic Products Directive (WEEE). For example, according to the LVD directive, household appliances must meet safety requirements such as anti electric shock protection, overheating, and radiation, and the corresponding coordination standard is the EN 60335 series; In terms of electromagnetic compatibility, electrical appliances need to control the electromagnetic interference generated by themselves and have a certain anti-interference ability. Relevant coordination standards include EN 55014-1, EN 55014-2, etc. For household ladders, EN131 safety certification is required, and the testing content includes multiple items such as structural design, anti slip testing, and load-bearing testing to ensure the safety of product use.

Environmental protection and chemical substance restrictions: In terms of environmental protection and chemical substance restrictions, the European Union strictly controls harmful substances in household products, requiring products not to cause harm to the health and environment of users, and making clear restrictions on the use and content of harmful substances such as phthalates and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

American Standard

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in the United States strictly regulates the safety of imported household products. For products such as children's furniture, strict standards have been established for the content of harmful substances such as lead and formaldehyde. Atomic absorption spectrometers and other equipment are used to detect the content of related substances to prevent children from being threatened by exposure to harmful substances. At the same time, there are corresponding specifications for the physical performance of products to ensure product quality and safe use.

Japanese standard

F four-star standard certification: F four-star standard certification is the highest level in Japan's "F series" standards, with a limit value of 0.3mg/L for formaldehyde emissions, which is more stringent than the E0 standard. During testing, the testing area is 1800C square meters and edge sealing is not allowed. The testing is conducted under the condition of a water bath temperature of 65 ± 2 degrees to ensure the environmental friendliness of home products.

Other safety and quality standards: Japan also has clear standards for the structural safety, functional performance, and other aspects of household products to ensure that they meet the usage habits and safety requirements of Japanese consumers.

Indoor Air Quality Certification - GREENGUARD Certification

GREENGUARD indoor air quality certification is launched by UL in the United States and is an internationally recognized authoritative indoor product certification standard, covering more than 20 categories such as furniture and building materials. This certification adopts the "dynamic environment simulation cabin" detection technology to simulate the real indoor environment and detect more than 12000 volatile organic compounds released into the air by the product, ensuring that the product meets strict indoor air quality standards. Among them, GREENGUARD certification for children and schools is specifically designed for products in sensitive environments such as teaching places. All products bearing this certification mark undergo chemical volatilization testing in accordance with CA1350 standards.
