Elevate your design and procurement process with confidence. This post unpacks how aligning with key BS EN (British & European Norms) standards ensures that your furniture components aren’t just built—they’re built right:
- Certify strength, durability & safety — Explore standards like BS EN 15338:2024, which tests the resilience of drawer slides and extension hardware under daily wear , and BS EN 16014:2011 that sets rigorous criteria for locking mechanisms.
- Seat stability you can trust — Learn why new benchmarks like BS EN 1022:2023 are essential for ensuring seating remains upright and safe.
- Beds built to last — Discover how BS EN 1725:2023, released in December 2023, defines essential safety and strength standards for beds—key for resilient contract-grade designs.
- Specialist standards for specialty parts — Delve into norms like BS EN 17850:2023 for star bases on seating, engineered for both durability and design precision
- Beyond testing—compliance confidence — Meeting these acknowledged standards not only mitigates risk and supports quality control—it also gives you undeniable credibility with clients, specifiers, and certifiers.
With this guide, architects, interior designers, fit‑out teams, and procurement professionals get the clarity to specify components that meet both aesthetic and regulatory demands—without the technical guesswork.
