AMERICAN FURNITURE STANDARDS

Order #: F188_2008AO; US$ 3400.00
Published by AKTRIN, 2008; 140 Pages; 1 Exhibit

After a brief introduction explaining the American standard system, this report provides a synopsis of 140 furniture related standards and labeling requirements in the USA. Most standards are voluntary, but some of them are regulated by state or federal laws. Standards are becoming increasingly important to protect manufactures and retailers against costly liability suits.

The list of standards covered in the catalogue included: Upholstered furniture, Juvenile furniture and Baby Cribs, Mattresses, Office and Institutional furniture, Kitchen cabinets, Flammability standards, Furniture hardware, Paints, Coatings, Lacquers, and much more. In an appendix, we provide addresses of all major standard setting institutions, testing laboratories, and certification bodies. A comprehensive index makes the catalogue an easy-to-use reference tool.

This report does not contain the complete text of the standards covered. However, it provides links to the standard setting institutions where the full text can be purchased.

Note: This report, together with some 25 other reports is contained in the
