Risk Analysis
All our products are tested for various properties prior to sale. Below is a summary of the tests conducted:
-
Material Analysis:
For all fabrics not from a reliable or directly traceable source, a material analysis was conducted to determine the type and composition of the fabric. This allows us to identify potential risks, such as allergies to specific fabrics, which are listed in product descriptions. This analysis also confirmed that all our fabrics are flammable, as determined by a fire test included in this study.
-
Wash Test:
All our fabric products are tested for washability and washing instructions. All fabric products can be washed at 40°C but should not be tumble-dried. For optimal longevity, we recommend handwashing.
-
Durability:
We have tested the average lifespan of our products and provide additional care instructions for long-lasting use when necessary.
-
Tensile Strength:
Our chains have been tested for tensile strength. They are strong enough to remain securely around the neck but can be broken by hand in emergencies (e.g., if caught on something).
- Child Safety:
Our products have been tested for child safety. They contain small parts that could break under pressure. As a precaution, we recommend against giving our products to children under 5 years old.
