About Certifications:
Greenguard Gold Certification is a third-party certification program that ensures products meet rigorous standards for low chemical emissions, contributing to healthier indoor environments. The certification involves comprehensive testing, including laboratory-based testing and modeling of indoor concentrations, to ensure products emit extremely low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs). With a focus on health-based criteria, Greenguard Gold Certification provides assurance that products meet strict standards for indoor air quality, protecting human health, particularly for vulnerable populations. The certification is widely recognized across industries, including furniture, building materials, healthcare, and education, and allows products to bear the Greenguard Gold logo, providing consumers with confidence in the product’s low chemical emissions and contribution to a healthier indoor environment.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification ensures that forest products come from sustainably managed forests, respecting environmental, social, and economic criteria. The FSC label signifies that materials originate from responsibly managed forests, recycled materials, or controlled wood, promoting forest conservation and supporting local communities.
JMPA (Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association) certification ensures that baby products meet rigorous safety standards, comply with regulations, and undergo thorough testing and inspection. This certification verifies that products are free from safety hazards, chemical risks, and defects, providing parents with peace of mind. By obtaining JMPA certification, manufacturers demonstrate that their products meet or exceed ASTM standards, federal and state laws, and retail requirements, ultimately safeguarding the health and well-being of infants and children. These requirements restrict chemicals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, antimony, flame retardants, phthalates, PFAS, and more. JPMA acts as a certifying agency for CPSC.
ASTM Certification Chemical Protection: ASTM certification protects against various harmful chemicals. These include Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde, benzene, and toluene, as well as Heavy Metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium. Additionally, ASTM certification tests for Phthalates, Bisphenol A (BPA), Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs), and Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), all of which can be harmful to human health and the environment.
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) certification protects against various harmful substances and hazards in consumer products, particularly those intended for children. Specifically, CPSIA certification tests for the presence of lead, phthalates, and other toxic chemicals in products such as toys, clothing, and furniture. It also ensures compliance with safety standards for small parts, choking hazards, and entanglement risks. Additionally, CPSIA certification protects against the use of certain hazardous materials, such as cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium, in consumer products. By requiring manufacturers to meet these safety standards, CPSIA certification helps to prevent injuries and illnesses associated with the use of consumer products, especially among children.
CE Certification is a consumer safety standard pertaining largely to children’s products in the EU. High chairs must comply with safety standards, including a surface coating limit of 90 ppm (0.009%) lead and a total lead content limit of 100 ppm (0.01%) in accessible parts. Plasticized components must not exceed 0.1% of eight restricted phthalates (DEHP, DBP, BBP, DINP, DIBP, DPENP, DHEXP, DCHP). All high chairs for children under 12 must be tested by a CPSC-approved lab, and manufacturers or importers must issue a Children’s Product Certificate confirming compliance.
The European Toy Safety Standard EN 71-3 regulates the migration of 19 hazardous elements, including lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic, from toy materials to ensure they do not release harmful substances in quantities that could harm children. It applies to accessible toy materials in three categories: dry/brittle, liquid/sticky, and scraped-off, each with specific migration limits (e.g., lead: 2.0 mg/kg for dry materials). Toys must undergo laboratory testing under simulated use conditions to confirm compliance. EN 71-3 is mandatory for toys sold in the EU, ensuring chemical safety and marked by CE certification to indicate adherence to these standards.
