This Standard has been produced and endorsed by the Furniture Retail Quality Group (FRQG), consisting of the major furniture retailers in the UK, due to the absence of any British or European Standards applicable to children’s domestic and camping furniture and covers the requirements for strength, stability and durability
The standard has been based on the requirements for adult furniture but adapted to suit the needs of children. It specifies the general safety requirements for children’s storage units for domestic indoor, outdoor and camping use (by children from 3 - 12 years old).
This forms part of a suite of standards covering children’s furniture which also includes:
- FIRA/FRQG C001: 2021 Furniture - Children’s domestic furniture – General safety requirements
- FIRA/FRQG C003: 2021 Furniture - Children’s domestic furniture – Tables & desks – Requirements for strength, stability and durability
Please note:
This standard does not cover children’s beds as the British Standard BS 8509:2008+A1:2011 covers these products.
The standard does not cover educational furniture as British and European Standards are available for these products.
The standard does not cover items with play features which will be classed as Toys and covered by National Legislation, however, elements of this standard may be used to assess the suitability of a product containing both furniture and play aspects.
For furniture featuring functions not covered within this standard (e.g. electrical features, lighting etc.), these functions should be assessed in accordance with the most appropriate Regulations or Standards.
The standard does not cover the requirements for fire retardancy of upholstered products as National Legislation currently exists.
