REGULATORY CONTEXT

• There is no specific rules on indoor children's areas in public spaces.
• However, all materials put at the user's disposal must comply with the article number L.221-1 of the Consummation act and the European Parliament's directive number 2001/95/CE on products' general safety.
• It is therefore necessary to conduct a risk assessment based on rules for similar materials, just as the authorities might do in case of a dispute.

SPECIFICATIONS

Kidea teamed up with an independent body, using its expertise to identify the relevant standards in order to define both safety requirements and testing methods i.e:

• NF EN 1729-1 & 2 (October 2006) Chairs and tables for schools
• NF D60-300-1 (December 2007) furniture for small children
• NF EN 1176-1 (October 1998) Material for play areas
• NF EN 71-1, 2 & 3 (February 2006) Toys safety
