What’s inside:
Every children's furniture and childcare product on the UK market must be safe. That's the law. But "safe" isn't one rule. It's a different British (England, Scotland and Wales) or European (EU and Northern Ireland) standard for almost every product type, each with its own scope, age range and weight limit. Get the wrong one and you've tested against the wrong hazards entirely.
This guide brings every standard together in one place, covering everything from bunk beds and cribs to playpens and table-mounted chairs — what each one covers, what it excludes, and where the edge cases sit.
It also covers the biggest recent change in this space: from 30 October 2025, products including highchairs, cots, car seats and prams were removed from the scope of UK flammability regulations entirely. If you manufacture, specify or sell any of these, this guide explains exactly what still applies and what doesn't.
- General Product Safety Regulations and what they require of your business
- Standards by product type — bunk beds, cots, cribs, highchairs, playpens, safety gates and more
- The 2025 flammability scope changes, explained clearly
- Where additional standards or testing may apply
- Plus, much more.
