European Commission: Five New Requirements For Children'S Sleep Products

For children under 5 years of age, more than half of their life and pleasure are spent in the sleeping environment, so the safety of such products is very important.

According to statistics from the European Union RAPEX and the US CPSC, the number of deaths caused by products such as cribs and children sleeping bags is far more than that of other child care products.

At present, in the European Union, the 5 products should comply with the regulations of 2001/95/EC general product safety directive (GPSD), but GPSD only stipulates some principles of safety requirements, and does not involve specific technical indicators.

Therefore, the EU is aware of the need to set up the coordination standards for the above 5 products, and the current standard setting work has been put on the agenda.

But before the coordination standard is officially issued, we should also ensure the safety of the 5 products through effective means.
