Does IKEA perform quality testing on their products?
At IKEA, product safety risk assessment is a crucial part of the product development process. Our designers, product developers, and technicians evaluate the safety, quality, and environmental impact at every stage of a new product’s development.
At different stages of the development process, the products are tested and evaluated to ensure that their construction is safe.
The final product is tested carefully to ensure compliance with national legal requirements and our own IKEA demands on safe products.
