Division GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

When used as intended or in a foreseeable way and bearing in mind the behaviour of children, products must not jeopardise the safety or health of children and carers.

If one type of chair can be converted into another type of chair (for example, a high chair into a children’s chair), it must comply with safety requirements for both types of chairs.

Labels on the products or on their packaging and the accompanying instructions for use must draw the attention of users to the inherent hazards and risks of injuries involved in using the products and to ways of avoiding them. However, products need to be safe by design as far as possible, and therefore labels and warnings must not replace safety by design.
