Child safety is a significant subject within the window shading industry, with new EU legislation introduced in early 2014. This requires companies who are involved with the manufacturing, selling and installing of blinds to comply under EN13120, making non-compliance to this standard illegal, and a criminal offence. We appreciate that these changes are significant and have had a considerable impact on the industry.
Jola Blinds has conformed to the BBSA’s ‘Make It Safe’ campaign since it was launched in 2009 and we have already built in child safety features such as easy break chain connectors and cord tidies to keep looped chains securely fixed out of the way. We will continue to demonstrate best practice and make sure that we advise you of the child safety options available within each product type and answer any questions you may have.
