New Safety Standards Coming En Force
The Window Coverings Association of America is providing the window treatment industry with changes to the U.S. Cord Standards that are likely to go into effect very soon. The new safety standards, which will be enforced by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, states that operating cords on custom window coverings must meet the identical requirements for operating cords on stock window coverings, as set forth in 2018. For Coulisse, a global window covering brand, compliance to these standards in a nonissue. It is continuing to develop shading solutions that comply with all child safety standards now and in the future.
