Committee to improve safety of window blinds

A COMMITTEE has been established by the National Consumer Agency in conjunction with the National Standards Authority of Ireland to improve safety with window blinds.

Representatives of leading window blind manufactures, suppliers and retailers gathered in Dublin yesterday for the inaugural meeting of the National Committee on Internal Window Blind Safety.

The meeting was organised by the National Consumer Agency which is pushing for a revision of the existing EU standard on window blinds which was adapted in November 2008 to further improve their safety.
