🚨 EN 581:2026 is coming — outdoor furniture compliance is about to change.

If you manufacture, import or distribute outdoor seating or tables for the European market, now is the time to act.

What's new?

🪑 EN 581-2 (Seating) — stability tests now follow EN 1022:2023, 7 new deckchair tests derived from French standard NF D61-062, new corner and lateral stability requirements.

🪑 EN 581-3 (Tables) — mandatory 3-type product classification, new vertical durability and impact tests, glass banned in camping tables.

These aren't minor tweaks. Products currently compliant may require retesting.

LNE-LP Asia can help:
✔ Testing under EN 581-2:2026 & EN 581-3:2026
✔ Gap analysis vs your existing reports
✔ Support for manufacturers, importers and distributors

⚠️ The date of withdrawal (DOW) of previous versions is set to 30 November 2026.
