Child Safety & Regulatory Compliance

Partner with an Accredited, Child-Safe, Blind Manufacturer

In the custom window coverings industry, regulatory compliance is not optional—it is a critical legal responsibility that protects both end-users and your business’s reputation. At PERFA, we engineer safety into every made-to-measure system we manufacture. As a dedicated trade-blind manufacturer UK-wide, we ensure that every product leaving our Barnsley workshop is fully compliant with the latest UK safety legislation.

When you source your window coverings from us, you can install with absolute confidence, knowing your supply chain is backed by rigorous testing, quality control, and strict adherence to British standards.

Our Child Safety Standards & Quality Assurance

1. Strict BS EN 13120 Compliance

Every single blind we manufacture is designed, built, and tested in full compliance with BS EN 13120 (the British and European safety standard for internal blinds). From cord lengths and chain breakaways to mandatory safety labels, we handle the technical compliance so your installers can focus on a seamless handoff on site.

2. Proud BBSA Member Since 2018

As an accredited member of the British Blind and Shutter Association (BBSA), PERFA operates under a strict code of practice. We stay ahead of regulatory shifts, ensuring our trade partners are always supplied with legally compliant, modern shading systems that meet the highest industry safety benchmarks.

3. Cordless and “Safe by Design” Systems

The safest cord is no cord at all. We specialize in manufacturing high-margin, modern systems that are inherently child-safe by design:

ApexShade™ & LanternShade™: Our tensioned pleated systems use internal, fully enclosed wire pathways to eliminate hanging loops entirely, making them perfect for family homes, schools, and public spaces.

 Smart Motorisation Integration: Upgrade your projects to cordless automation. We supply motorised blinds featuring premium, certified smart-home systems from Somfy, Motionblinds, Louvolite, and Thorq.

4. Safety Devices & Instructions Supplied as Standard

For any corded or chain-operated systems, we supply all necessary safety retainers, tensioning devices, and breakaway connectors as standard, along with clear, compliant warning tags and installation instructions.

Technical Support for Trade Installers

We do not just manufacture compliant products; we provide the training and technical expertise your team needs to survey and install them correctly. Through the PERFA Academy, we train installers on critical child safety regulations, proper safety-device positioning, and legal installation heights.
