As any parent will tell you, safety of equipment meant to be used by children is a top priority around the world.  When you see a CE Mark or other acronym on a product meant to be used by a child, you'll know that it was designed to meet specific standards.  This is an assurance of quality that most consumers are unaware of.  Yet in the manufacturing world, these certifications  are regularly used to support the safe use of products over numerous jurisdictions.

If you're in the business of supplying products meant to be used by children, you cannot afford to ignore standards and the legal and trade advantages they offer.  To find the standards you need to use when you're developing, producing and exporting your products, rely on Document Center Inc.  We've been selling standards since 1982 and can provide you with not only the publications themselves, but with support services to ensure that your collection is complete and correct.  Make us your Standards Experts!
