maybe Explanation: Nonhazardous (Non-poisonous, Non-contaminating) materials standards are observed in accordance with DGM They talk about the furniture's building material. None of the above is really precise, because Schadstoffe are 'pathogens', so 'pathogen-free materials' is perhaps the best way to say it. Or one could say 'the guidelines on safety in building materials' are being observed. Bit tortuous, I admit |
