FAB4PETS Receives EU Environmental and Safety Certification




Fab 4 Pets the makers of the Bright Steps and EZ Steps lines of safety accessories for pets has received both CE and ROHS certification for the Bright Steps product line.

This was a requirement for sales of Bright Steps into Europe, but also benefits the US and other markets where these high levels of consumer safety are vital.

These certifications illustrate Fab 4 Pets high level of quality and commitment to using environmentally sustainable materials in its products and packaging.

The CE marking {also known as CE mark} is a mandatory conformity mark on many products placed on the single market in the European Economic Area {EEA}. The CE marking certifies that a product has met EU health, safety, and environmental requirements, which ensure green practices and strict consumer safety standards.

The ROHS certification restricts the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacture of various types of electronic and electrical equipment. It is closely linked with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive {WEEE} 2002/96/EC which sets collection, recycling and recovery targets for electrical goods and is part of a legislative initiative to solve the problem of huge amounts of toxic-waste.
Kevin Kraft, CEO of Fab 4 Pets states, "It is important we do what we can to meet these high standards of product quality and environmental sustainability."
