Thank you for your inquiry about the safety standards our park benches adhere to. We take public safety with the utmost seriousness, and our products are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed rigorous international benchmarks.
Firstly, our benches comply with key structural integrity standards, including ISO 2443 for outdoor furniture, ensuring they can withstand significant static and dynamic loads without failure. We perform regular load-testing up to 400kg to guarantee stability under normal and extreme use.
Secondly, material safety is paramount. All materials are non-toxic and compliant with REACH and CPSIA regulations, making them safe for public environments, including areas where children play. The metals used are corrosion-resistant, often exceeding ASTM B117 salt spray test requirements, while treated woods are free from harmful splinters and chemical leaching.
Furthermore, we focus on user safety through design. Edges and corners are rounded to prevent injuries, and the benches are engineered for exceptional stability to prevent tipping, adhering to principles outlined in the ADAAG for accessible design. Our commitment extends to sustainable and safe end-of-life recycling processes.
Ultimately, our certification from independent bodies like the BIFMA and ISO 9001 quality management system provides third-party validation of our commitment to your safety and peace of mind.
