Where the regulation applies
The regulation applies to furniture for domestic and public use, including furniture made to individual orders. Identification considers intended use, user age and exclusions for certain specialised furniture types.
What the regulation covers
Requirements cover mechanical strength, stability, safe gaps and the absence of injury-causing features. Assessment also addresses chemical emissions and, where relevant, fire and electrical risks, marking and assembly instructions.
Examples of products and facilities

- chairs
- cabinets
- beds
- sofas and armchairs

These examples are indicative. Applicability depends on intended use, specifications and the regulation’s exclusions.
