New Corded Window Covering Regulations were passed May 1, 2019. Though the Government was determined on passing this regulation, RCC secured significant wins including:
- A 2-year transition period, as opposed to the original 6 months that was proposed,
- Relaxed technical requirements, and
- Agreement from Health Canada to facilitate compliance, including confirming which product types currently on the market will not be affected by the new rules.
RCC will work with members, Government and manufacturers to ensure member compliance with the new requirements.
