Following this work, RoSPA has welcomed a major development in its campaign to stop window blinds posing a risk to the lives of young children and is pleased to announce that the new EN13120:2009+A1:2014, released in February 2014, strengthens the child safety elements of the standard.
The new standard amends a previous European standard published in 2009. The amendment considerably extends the standard scope so that it covers not only venetian blinds, roller blinds, vertical blinds and pleated blinds, but also honeycomb blinds, Roman shades, Austrian/Festoon blinds, panel blinds, plantation shutters and roll-up blinds. It requires that new blinds must be "safe by design" or be supplied with the appropriate child safety devices installed. This means that where there is a loop that is present, or could be created, a safety device must be installed at the point of the manufacture. These safety devices either break under pressure, tension the cord or chain or provide the facility to store cord(s) out of reach. Professional installers must fit these devices. If you are fitting blinds yourself follow the instructions supplied with the product and make sure you fit any safety device. The standard also imposes a maximum cord and chain length. All blinds must also continue to carry safety warnings.
The main standard is supported by two additional standards: EN 16433:2014 and EN 16434:2014 which relate to testing requirements. Manufacturers and retailers that do not comply could be prosecuted under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005. Though these standards aim to make new blinds much safer, many homes are still fitted with blinds that will not incorporate these safety requirements. It is still important to raise awareness among parents, grandparents and carers to ensure that looped blind cords are kept out of the reach of children. RoSPA's own research shows that there have been at least 30 deaths across the UK due to looped cords since 1999 (18 of which have occurred since the start of 2010). The Make It Safe campaign, of which RoSPA is a part, aims to raise awareness of the potential dangers of looped cords among families with small children. As well as leaflets and advice, RoSPA has distributed more than 500,000 cleats free of charge to families, local authorities and community organisations over the last 18 months.
Cleats can be fitted to tie blind cords high up out of the reach of children. Research indicates that most accidental deaths involving blind cords happen in the bedroom and occur in children between 16 months and 36 months old, with the majority (more than half) happening at around 23 months. These toddlers are mobile, but their heads still weigh proportionately more than their bodies compared to adults and their muscular control is not yet fully developed, which makes them more prone to be unable to free themselves if they become entangled. In addition, toddlers' windpipes have not yet fully developed and are smaller and less rigid than those of adults and older children. This means that they suffocate far more quickly if their necks are constricted. As with drowning, toddlers can be strangled quickly and quietly by looped cords with carers in close proximity, potentially unaware of what is happening. To reduce the risk posed by looped cords, including blind cords, cords should be kept out of the reach of children.
RoSPA does not recommend that cords are cut, even as a short-term solution. It is advisable that any action taken on the blind cord is a permanent one which will take the cord out of reach of children. It is not an expensive task and a limited number of cleats are available to those who need them via the RoSPA website. Cutting the cord in the wrong place can make the blind inoperable; and it may also lead to one cord becoming a lot longer which increases the risk of entanglement. Cut cords can also become tangled up resulting in the reformation of a loop. **Reproduced with kind permission of the British Blind and Shutter Association © 2015 A report which aims to help save children's lives by highlighting the dangers of looped blind cords and chains is to be released (July 2015). The 30-page paper instigated by UK Chief Medical Officers calls for more appropriate deaths and near misses data to be recorded to better identify the scale of the problem. The report also revealed that there are still millions of potentially unsafe blinds that were fitted in the UK prior to the introduction of new legislation in 2014.
