A guide to help designers and manufacturers of furniture incorporating electrical accessories to understand and meet the GB Regulations
There is an increasing number of furniture products sold in the domestic and contract markets that are designed using ‘off-the-shelf’ electrical components to enhance features beyond those normally considered important for furniture (strength, durability and comfort). As such it is imperative that the furniture industry has reliable access to information to ensure compliance and of course safety for the end-users.
