Singapore
China
Singapore’s focus on child safety has led to stringent furniture standards, blending international regulations with local climate considerations. With humidity levels averaging 80% and typhoons as frequent as 4 times a year, furniture must resist mold, humidity-induced warping, and accidental tip-overs. MRETTY’s pediatric-safe furniture standards address these challenges through a fusion of European engineering and Asian safety protocols.
Understanding Singapore’s Core Safety Requirements
Singapore’s Consumer Protection (Safety Requirements) Regulations (CPSR) mandate compliance with international standards like EN 71-1 (mechanical safety) and ASTM F1822 (drop-side crib safety). Key requirements include:
-
Round-edged designs: Radius ≥10mm for corners below 1.6m height
-
Anti-tip mechanisms: Mandatory for bookshelves >75cm tall
-
Formaldehyde limits: ≤0.05mg/m³ (stricter than China’s ENF standard)
MRETTY’s internal testing exceeds these benchmarks, achieving 0.02mg/m³ formaldehyde emissions through triple-layered E0 lacquer systems.

Case Studies: MRETTY’s Singapore Success Stories
Case 1: High-Rise Nursery in Marina Bay
A luxury condo project required furniture compliant with HS Code 9403.50 (child-resistant design). MRETTY delivered:
-
J-slot hidden hinges for seamless cabinetry
-
25mm ENF OSB panels reinforced with aluminum honeycomb cores
-
Integrated cable management behind magnetic panels
Post-installation, the client achieved 100% compliance with SPRING Singapore’s CPSR guidelines.
Case 2: Preschool Furniture in Tampines
For a 500-child daycare center, MRETTY designed:
-
Anti-tip bookshelves with 12mm steel brackets
-
Mold-resistant teak treated with nano-silica coatings
-
Soft-close drawers with 3-point locking mechanisms
The project received a 2024 Singapore Interior Design Gold Award for child-centric safety.
