GREENGUARD [GOLD] Certification
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the average American spends over 90% of their time indoors. Scientific studies have shown that people are at a higher risk for pollutants indoors than outdoors. To reduce the risk of indoor air pollution and create healthier environments, ECR4Kids test our products to achieve GREENGUARD [GOLD] standards for low chemical emissions into indoor air during product usage. Our GREENGUARD [GOLD] Certified products are screened for more than 10,000 chemicals and VOCs commonly known to pollute indoor air, certifying that these products contribute to cleaner air in your home, daycare or classroom.

BIFMA Compliant
The Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer’s Association (BIFMA) sets industry standards for evaluating safety, durability, and structural adequacy in furniture. In order to determine if a piece of furniture meets the combined standards for both ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and BIFMA, it is put through a series of rigorous tests including loading, stability and strength. Once product(s) have passed and meet or exceed the BIFMA standards, the item is expected to withstand constant use for an estimated 10 years.
