You can read more about the legislation along with your guide to window blind safety here.

Why has this legislation been introduced?

Child safety is of paramount importance, especially in the home environment.
When it comes to blinds, ensuring that they are designed and installed with safety in mind is crucial. Blinds can pose a significant hazard to young children if not properly managed.

• Young children can be caught by loops in pull cords, chains, tapes and inner cords that operate the product.
• To avoid strangulation and entanglement, keep cords out of reach of young children.
• Move beds, cots and furniture away from window covering cords.
• Do not tie cords together. Make sure cords do not twist and create a loop.
• Install and use the safety devices according to the installation instructions on these devices to reduce possibility of such an incident.

Chain

All chains come with a safety chain break or wall P clip.
The breakaway chain connector is pre-installed in the operating chain and is designed to safely split the chain apart if a reasonable force is applied to the loop.
Safety P clips are provided when a breakaway can not be used, these are to prevent the control chain from forming a hazardous loop and must be fitted.
