Window Covering Safety Legislation
Rollease Acmeda is dedicated to making sure our product offering is child safe and meets all government and industry safety standards.
All companies manufacturing, distributing, or selling window covering products in the United States must operate according to the window covering safety standards ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2022 - Opens in new tab. The standards require the vast majority of custom window covering products sold in the United States to be cordless or to have inaccessible or short cords.
The industry's standard permits the use of continuous loop operating systems so long as a compliant tension device is used to prohibit the formation of a hazardous loop. This standard has been repeatedly modified since 1996 to further enhance child safety as technology and innovation improves product design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find the most up to date standard?
Please refer to the WCMA website for a link to the latest standard.
What if the consumer owns a shade that is not compliant with the latest standard?
Shades manufactured before the published date of the standard do not require being brought into compliance unless the shade requires a replacement. All shades manufactured after the published date must comply.
Because this is a voluntary standard, does that mean compliance is not mandatory?
All companies who manufacture, distribute, or sell window coverings in the U.S. must comply with the voluntary safety standards. Almost all consumer products have voluntary rather than mandatory safety standards – voluntary means that the industry worked with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), safety experts, and others, under the auspices of the respected American National Standards Institute (ANSI – which also oversees standards development for thousands of other products) to develop the standards.
