Beach Towel – Summer Safety Compliance
- Wednesday, 07 December 2022
Summer has arrived, and towels with sleeves for kids are all around – a great marketing idea and useful addition for any family trip to the beach or local baths.
These garments are captured by the Australian Consumer Goods (Children’s Nightwear and limited daywear and paper patterns for Children’s Nightwear) Safety Standard Safety Standard 2017.
Towels and blankets with sleeves or arm openings created by side seams are included products, and therefore must be tested and labelled in accordance with AS/NZS 1249-2014.
They fall within the Category 4 requirements, and as pile fabrics, must comply with the surface burning time requirements. This test process measures the time it takes for a flame, applied for 1 second, to travel a distance of 75mm, over the surface of a fabric that has been washed twice, dried in a tumble dryer and then oven dried to remove all moisture.
The garments are required to be labelled with an identifying brand and the fire safety information label. Unlike other garments captured by the legislation, the blankets and towels with sleeves do not require a sizing label.
