The safety standards for free-standing children's high chairs that raise kids to dining table height for feeding or eating are outlined in the BS EN 14988:2017+A1:2020 standard. For children up to the age of three who can sit unassisted, this requirement applies to high chairs. It is significant to highlight that the requirement applies to both domestic and non-domestic use, with the exception of high chairs used for medical purposes.

The goal of the guidelines is to protect kids as they use these high chairs. To avoid any potential risks, it offers recommendations for manufacturers to adhere to in terms of design, structure, and ergonomics. In order to prevent accidents and injuries, the standard also highlights the necessity of stability, restraint systems, and the durability of the high chairs. This standard's adherence guarantees that the high chairs meet the necessary security requirements for the target age range.

It is important to note that additional European requirements may be necessary to assure the safety of any additional functions that a child's high chair can perform.
