Overview
Nursery products cover a diverse range of articles and many of which contain textile components. Consideration of safety and legislation is a key factor in establishing core test requirements for these products. This seminar will consider the tests, which may need to be performed over a range of textile nursery products, from basic colour fastness testing to testing for hazardous substances, flammability and security of attached components.
Our new seminar will aim provide an understanding of testing, safety and legislative requirements of textile nursery products and will include BS 8510:2009 Safety of Children’s Sleep Bags. This seminar is ideally suited to designers, buyers and technologists.
