2) be symmetrical at the rounded corners;

3) have no obvious floating threads, obvious skipped stitches or exposed thread ends.

Exposed bubble nails:

1) The arrangement should be neat and the spacing is basically equal;

2) There should be no obvious flattened or peeling nails.

7. Children’s furniture carpentry inspection

The non-interconnected surfaces of artificial panel components should be edge-sealed or painted. Boards or components should not have burrs, edges or corners where they come into contact with the human body or where objects are stored. The surface of the plate or component should be smooth, and the chamfers, fillets, and round lines should be consistent. There should be no degumming, bubbling or cracking in the veneer, edge sealing and wrapping. The veneer should be tight and smooth, and there should be no obvious glue penetration, plug corners, and joints between parts and components should not be broken. The combination of parts should be tight and firm. The installation of various accessories and connectors should not include missing pieces or missing nails (except for reserved holes and optional holes).The installation of various accessories should be tight, smooth, straight and firm, and the joints should be free of cracks or looseness.

The opening and closing parts should be flexible to use after installation. The engraved pattern should be uniform, clear, and well-defined, and the symmetrical parts should be symmetrical. There should be no missing corners at convex and large digs, bridges, edges, and arcs. The bottom of the shovel should be flat, and there should be no hammer marks or burrs on any part. The number of defects per item shall not exceed 4. The linear shape of the turned wood should be consistent, the concave and convex steps should be even, the symmetrical parts should be symmetrical, the turning lines should be clear, and there should be no stubble, knife marks, or sand marks on the processed surface. The number of defects per item shall not exceed 4. Furniture locks should be locked in place and open flexibly. The casters should be flexible to rotate or slide.

8. Appearance inspection of paint film on children’s furniture

Like-colored parts should have similar shades. There should be no fading or discoloration. The coating should not be wrinkled, sticky or leaky. The coating should be smooth, clear, without obvious particles or edge swelling; there should be no obvious processing marks, scratches, cracks, haze, white edges, white spots, bubbling, oily white, sagging, shrinkage holes, bristle, etc. Accumulated powder and debris. The number of defects per item shall not exceed 4.

二 Children's furniture size inspection

Main size requirements for children's furniture:

四 Children's furniture structural inspection

1.Outside corner

The dangerous outer corners of children's furniture that are accessible under normal use (see the circled position in Figure 1) should be rounded, with a radius of not less than 10 mm, or a rounding arc length of not less than 15 mm.When the product instructions clearly state that the product needs to be placed against the wall and connected to the wall, the outer corner of the product on the wall side does not need to be rounded.

2. Accessible dangerous sharp edges

The edges of accessible rigid materials on the product are tested as sharp edges and should not be hazardous sharp edges.Without the use of special tools, the bolt threads on the product expose an accessible edge simply by turning the knob, and this edge should also pass the sharp edge test.

3. Accessible dangerous sharp points

The points of accessible rigid materials on the product are tested as sharp points and should not be hazardous sharp points.

4. Dangerous protrusions

The product should not have dangerous protrusions. If there are dangerous protrusions, they should be protected in appropriate ways. For example, bend the end or add a protective cap or cover to effectively increase the area that may come into contact with the skin.

5. Holes, gaps and openings should meet the following requirements:

For holes, holes and gaps in the rigid material of the product with a depth exceeding 10 mm, the diameter or gap shall be less than 7 m or greater than or equal to 12 mm according to the test; the openings of all accessible tubular parts on the product shall be closed with a sealing cover or cap; Conduct a tensile test on the protective parts to ensure they do not fall off.
