REACH Compliant Shades – Certified Chemical Safety
What is REACH Compliance?
REACH is a European Union regulation designed to protect human health and the environment from risks posed by chemicals. Products that are REACH‑compliant contain no Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) above 0.1% w/w. SVHCs include carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxins, and persistent bioaccumulative chemicals. Our REACH‑compliant shades meet this stringent standard.
Independent Testing & Certification
Our REACH‑compliant fabrics are tested by ISO 17025‑accredited laboratories for more than 200 SVHCs, including:
-
Phthalates (plasticizers)
-
Heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury)
-
Azo dyes and aromatic amines
-
Formaldehyde
-
Certain brominated and chlorinated flame retardants
-
Perfluorinated compounds (PFOA, PFOS)
Full test reports are available upon request.
Ideal for Sensitive Populations & Green Building
REACH‑compliant shades are recommended for:
-
Clients with multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS)
-
Nurseries and children’s rooms
-
Healthcare facilities

Documentation for Compliance
