What are the most common regulatory hurdles for outdoor furniture ODM in different countries?

Outdoor furniture ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) faces diverse regulatory challenges across global markets. Key hurdles include safety standards like EN 581 in Europe, which mandates durability and stability tests, and CPSC guidelines in the U.S. focusing on child safety. Material restrictions, such as REACH compliance for chemicals in the EU or California’s Proposition 65, also impact production. Additionally, export documentation, labeling requirements, and environmental regulations (e.g., FSC certification for sustainable wood) vary by country. Navigating these complexities requires thorough research and partnerships with local experts to ensure compliance and avoid costly delays.
