REGAL BLINDS COMPLIES WITH THE MAKE IT SAFE STANDARD FROM THE BBSA

What is this standard?
​
The standard affecting internal window blinds was significantly revised in relation to child safety requirements in February 2014 and, in effect, mandates:

​

• Limitations on cord and chain lengths.

• Safety devices for preventing cords and chains from creating a hazardous loop.

• The fitting of safety devices on cords and chains at the point of manufacture.

• The testing of all safety critical components of internal window blinds.

• The testing of complete blinds using safety devices.

• Safety warnings and product instructions.

​

The General Product Safety Regulations, 2005 place a legal responsibility on traders to provide a safe product. Compliance with the revised standards affords a presumption of conformity with these regulations.
