Understanding EN 12520/12521 Compliance for UK/Germany

Compliance with EN 12520/12521 is not just about ticking a box—it's a crucial part of being a reputable furniture supplier in the UK and Germany. The adherence to these standards ensures you maintain your profitability by avoiding costly rejections or returns.

Many retailers in the UK and Germany encounter product rejections if they don't align with these standards, resulting in decreased profitability and increased operational costs. Compliance ensures smooth business operations and customer satisfaction, an integral part of my business's ongoing success.
