Window Treatment Safety For Dover

On June 1, 2024,The American National Standard For Safety Of Corded Window Covering Products went into effect. This standard requires most window treatments sold in the US to be cordless or have cords that include special safety devices. It serves as a major move toward eliminating corded window treatments that create a strangulation hazard to young children.

A New Window Treatment Safety Standard

The Window Covering Manufacturers Association and American National Standards Institute is enforcing an updated safety measure for window covering products. ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2022 is a precaution that gives new requirements for window treatments that “reduce the possibility of injury, including strangulation, to young children from the bead chain, cord, or any type of flexible loop.”

Starting on June 1, 2024, window treatments sold in the United States must meet this new safety standard. The bulk of products will change to cordless options. Treatments that have a continuous loop operating system must include a specific tension device that stops the loop from becoming a strangulation hazard. These requirements will significantly decrease the number of window treatment cord injuries and fatalities among small children.
