Kids Safety

The EU standard EN 14682:2008-02 identifies potential safety hazards in children’s clothing caused by cords and drawstrings.

It defines types of hazard, levels of risk and the vulnerability of children, and sets recommendations to minimise the risk of accidental entrapments by cords and drawstrings in children’s clothing.

The norm suggests the textile industry’s self-commitment to prevent and avoid tear proof and continuous cords especially in the neck area of children's wear.
