Safety Testing

safety tested, IANZ Accredited

 

The Arc Assistant Original is an innovative piece of furniture that helps to assist your child to safely stand by you at the kitchen bench (or other benches).

The Arc Assistant Original has been tested at an accredited independent IANZ laboratory in New Zealand and complies with the below sections (*) of the Australia/New Zealand Standards AS/NZS 8124:1 2016 and AS/NZS 2172 2013. 

Here's an interesting fact: In New Zealand and Australia, there are no mandatory testing standards for children's stools. There is not a specific safety standard for stools, like there is for highchairs, cots and toys. Therefore it has not been tested to the highchair standards or the full standards for the cots or toys, as children's stools don't fall within these categories. At Arc NZ Baby safety is paramount though and for this reason the Arc Assistant Original was voluntarily put through rigorous testing and complies with the below safety standard sections.

(*)From Standard AS/NZS 8124 /Pt.1/ 2016 the Arc Assistant Original was tested for and complies with the: Stability Test 5.12.6, Overload Test 5.12.5, Tension Test 5.24.6, Projection Test 4.8, Reasonably Foreseeable Abuse Test 5.24, Tip Over Test 5.24.3, Material Quality Test 4.3.1, and the Wooden Toys Test 4.7.

(*)From Standard AS/NZS 2172 2013 the Arc Assistant Original was tested for and complies with the: Stability Test 9.8, Informative labelling II and Information on Leaflet I and Marking Durability 12.3.

The Arc Assistant 5 in 1 High Chair complies with the following Australia and New Zealand High Chair Standard: AUGUST 2017 - AS4684-2009.
