Certifications & Assurance: Our Commitment to Quality, Safety, and Sustainability
At TANNARK, delivering premium leather products that meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and environmental responsibility is our foremost priority. To achieve this, we meticulously select and test every material we use, ensuring full compliance with globally recognized certifications and regulations. These certifications not only validate our production processes but also guarantee that our products are safe for consumers and kind to the planet.
REACH Regulation (EU): Safety in Every Chemical Used
The REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation is one of the strictest chemical safety frameworks worldwide, enforced across the European Union. It controls the use of potentially hazardous substances in consumer goods, including leather products.
At TANNARK, our leather tanning and dyeing processes strictly adhere to REACH standards, ensuring that:
-
No harmful chemicals or heavy metals are used during manufacturing.
-
Leather is free from carcinogenic and toxic substances that could pose health risks.
-
Dyes are Azo-free, preventing any release of carcinogenic aromatic amines.
-
Our processes contribute to a safer environment by minimizing chemical waste and pollution.
Compliance with REACH means that our leather is safe for direct skin contact, making it suitable for apparel, gloves, and accessories worn daily by your customers.
