Children's Furniture - Seating for Children - Safety Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
The safety standards and testing procedures for chairs intended for kids who can walk and sit independently are outlined in the DIN EN 17191 standard. This standard's goal is to minimize potential risks by ensuring that such furniture satisfies specified safety requirements.
The required safety standards for child seats are set forth in the standard. These specifications address things like the furniture's stability, strength, and durability to make sure it can sustain regular usage and potential roughhousing by kids. To reduce the likelihood of injury, the standard also addresses the risks of entrapment, sharp edges, and finger entrapment points.
In addition to the safety requirements, the standard offers precise test procedures to determine whether the child sitting complies with the required safety standards. These testing procedures are designed to find out how well the furniture performs under a variety of circumstances, including stability while in use, impact resistance, and entrapment risk reduction. By carrying out these tests, manufacturers are able to assess how well their products adhere to the standard and make any required adjustments to ensure the safety of the child seats.
