Where the regulation applies
The regulation covers new light industry products, including clothing, textiles, footwear and leather goods. Children's products, personal protective equipment and other excluded categories must be checked against their own requirements rather than automatically assessed under this regulation.
What the regulation covers
Assessment covers chemical and biological safety of materials, colour fastness and parameters related to body contact. Relevant groups are also assessed for mechanical safety, fibre or material composition and accurate labelling.
Examples of products and facilities
- adult clothing
- adult underwear
- bed linen
- fabrics
- adult footwear

- machine-made carpet coverings
These examples are indicative. Applicability depends on intended use, specifications and the regulation’s exclusions.
