ASTM F2613-22 PDF Download

Children's seats and stools are subject to performance norms and testing guidelines in the ASTM F2613-22 standard, which is a consumer safety specification. The goal of this standard is to guarantee the robustness and security of these items for use by kids. It also offers instructions for labeling specifications.

The guideline only applies to chairs and stools made with children in mind, leaving out foam chairs and bean bag chairs as well as those used in commercial settings or without a strong frame. Additionally, it excludes kid potty chairs, newborn or infant/toddler rockers, children's step stools, and seats with restraining systems.

A child's chair or stool that is made for one youngster who can enter and exit it independently qualifies as a unit or product under the standard. The legal maximum seat height is 15 inches, and this rule applies to both rocking chairs and chairs without one.

Any product that makes the claim that it complies with this standard must, both before and after testing, satisfy all applicable requirements stated in the specification. To protect the safety of kids utilizing these chairs and stools, it's crucial that manufacturers and customers follow certain safety regulations.
