Introduction

In the international kitchen cabinet trade, quality standards are one of the top concerns for global buyers. Each market has strict requirements for durability, safety, and environmental performance. At our manufacturing facility, we strictly comply with the regulations of the target export market to ensure our cabinets meet or exceed expectations.

1、Key International Standards & Certifications

  1、North American Market (USA & Canada)

     1、ANSI/KCMA Certification – Covers cabinet door durability, drawer load-bearing, and surface chemical resistance tests.

     2、CARB P2 / TSCA Title VI – Limits formaldehyde emissions to ensure environmental safety and indoor air quality.

  2、Australian & New Zealand Market

     1、AS/NZS 4386 – Specifies structural and durability requirements for kitchen cabinets.

     2、E0/E1 Formaldehyde Emission – Environmental grade standards, with E0 being the most stringent.

  3、European Market (EU)

     1、EN 14749 – Furniture strength and stability requirements.

     2、FSC Certification – Ensures that all wood materials are sourced sustainably.

2、Essential Cabinet Testing Items

     1、Surface Abrasion Resistance – Simulates daily wear and tear to ensure surface durability.

     2、Moisture Resistance – Prevents swelling or deformation caused by water and humidity.    

     3、Corrosion Resistance – Tests the cabinet’s ability to withstand kitchen chemicals and cleaning agents.

     4、Load-Bearing Test – Measures the maximum weight shelves and drawers can support.

     5、Hinge & Drawer Durability Test – Simulates tens of thousands of opening and closing cycles.

3、Our Quality Control Process

We adopt a 4-step QC process to ensure every cabinet meets the highest export standards:

IQC (Incoming Quality Control) – Inspect all raw materials for defects and compliance.
IPQC (In-Process Quality Control) – Conduct random checks during production to maintain precision.
FQC (Final Quality Control) – Inspect each finished cabinet for structural, functional, and aesthetic quality.
OQC (Outgoing Quality Control) – Final inspection before packaging and shipping, with a full test report.

All data is digitally recorded, allowing full traceability from raw material to final delivery.

4、Case Example

In a high-end residential project exported to Canada, our cabinets passed both KCMA standards and E0 environmental grade tests. Two years after installation, the project reported zero after-sales complaints, proving our commitment to quality and reliability.

Conclusion

Meeting international kitchen cabinet quality standards is not just a requirement for export—it is the foundation of our brand reputation. By adhering to KCMA, AS/NZS, EN, and other market-specific regulations, and by implementing a strict multi-stage QC process, we ensure that every cabinet we deliver is durable, safe, environmentally friendly, and built to last. Whether you are a distributor, contractor, or developer, you can trust our products to meet the highest global benchmarks while maintaining competitive pricing.
