What is law label?
Law label was born in the early 19th century. Its application aims to inform consumers of 'invisible' filler components in bedding and upholstered furniture. It is called 'stuffed / filling materials' in English. It is a legally binding label fixed on the product to describe the fabric and filler composition / proportion of mattresses, upholstered furniture and soft fillings such as pillows, throw pillows, plush toys, etc. Unless it is the consumer's own behavior, the label shall not be removed from the product during circulation and sales.
Regulatory requirements
At present, 32 states in the United States and Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba in Canada have mandatory law labels for bedding and upholstered furniture, but each state / Province has different requirements for products under its jurisdiction and law labels. Therefore, if it is necessary to apply for law label and TSSA registration and later certificate maintenance in multiple states / provinces, it is a severe challenge in terms of cost, time and requirements for operators. To this end, Bede testing provides customers with one-stop service. With one application, the products can meet the requirements of multiple states.

Note: the above list is only the common products under the jurisdiction of law label. If your product is not in the list, it does not mean that it does not need to meet the requirements of law label. Please contact us for further confirmation, and we will consult the official opinions of relevant States.
What is a uniform registry number (urn)?
Uniform registry number (urn) is a unified registration code. When a state requires the registration of bedding or upholstered furniture products, urn is the registration code issued by the relevant departments of the state government. In addition, when applying for law labels in multiple states, you need to use the same registration code. In other words, if your company obtains urn in one state, it is recommended to use the same urn when applying for registration in other states. This can eliminate the restriction of product circulation between different states and greatly reduce the time and effort of maintaining certificates.
TSSA-Technical Standards & Safety Authority
TSSA is the technical standards and safety agency of Ontario, Canada. It requires that soft filler products sold in Ontario must obtain TSSA registration and meet the corresponding label requirements before sale. In addition, Quebec or Manitoba also have similar registration requirements. Therefore, if the products are exported to Canada and there is no clear sales Province, Bede suggests to register in the above three provinces respectively to ensure the smooth sales of products in Canada.

*Suitable for refurbished products
In addition to the urn registration number, the state governments of some states in the United States require that bed down products (quilts, pillows, mattresses, etc.) and second-hand bedding sold in the state must be attached with labels indicating the sterilization permit number issued by specific agencies of the state government, otherwise they cannot be sold on the shelves.

common problem:
Q: Can legal label registration only be applied by manufacturers?
A: Not only the manufacturer can apply. If allowed locally, importers and dealers can also apply for registration with the manufacturer and use the same registration number.
Q: How long is the registration number of legal tender valid?
A: The validity period depends on the requirements of different states.
Q: Can the same registration number be used on the same products produced by two factories or facilities?
A: Each factory or production facility must have its own unified registration number, and the same registration number cannot be used.
