Challenge:
China’s General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) and Standardization Administration of the People’s Republic of China (SAC) jointly published the mandatory standard GB28007-2011“Children’s furniture – General technical requirements" on October 31, 2011, which will go into effect on August 1, 2012. This standard is applicable to the furniture designed and produced for children 3 to 14 years old and to regulate the general requirements of children furniture products.

This standard mainly specifies the general requirements of children furniture: construction safety, the limitation of harmful substance in raw material, flammability, caution on the product and use instruction, the appearance, physical and chemical performance, test methods, judgment criteria, the use instruction, package, deposition, goods delivery and so on.

As regulated in Section 14 Chapter 3 "Law of the People’s Republic of China on Standardization", mandatory standard is obligatory to implement. The products that don’t meet the mandatory standard are prohibited to be produced, sold or imported. GB 28007-2011 "Children’s Furniture – General Technical Requirements" is a nationally mandatory standard. Once it is approved and becomes effect, it is compulsive that all children furniture produced or sold (imported) in China shall comply with it.
