Simulating Tilt Hazard in Furniture Designed for Infants: Ensuring Safety and Compliance
As a manufacturer of infant furniture, you understand the importance of creating products that prioritize the safety and well-being of young children. However, with so many factors to consider during product design and development, its easy to overlook one critical aspect: tilt hazard simulation.
Tilt hazard is a significant concern in the manufacture of infant furniture, as even slight tilting can lead to accidents and injuries. In fact, according to recent data, approximately 12 of all infant-related fatalities are attributed to furniture tip-overs (1). As a result, regulatory bodies such as the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) have implemented strict guidelines for testing and certifying infant furniture.
Thats where Eurolab comes in our laboratory service provides specialized testing to simulate tilt hazard in furniture designed for infants. By partnering with us, manufacturers can ensure their products meet or exceed regulatory requirements while minimizing the risk of product recalls and associated reputational damage.
Why Simulating Tilt Hazard Matters
The consequences of a furniture tip-over can be devastating. Even if your product is designed with safety features, human error or unforeseen circumstances can lead to accidents. By simulating tilt hazard in our laboratory, manufacturers can:
Mitigate risk: Reduce the likelihood of product recalls and associated costs
Ensure compliance: Meet regulatory requirements for infant furniture testing
