Why Attend?
As consumer expectations rise and regulatory requirements evolve, home textiles manufacturers and brands must adapt to the new landscape. Ensuring product safety, quality, and performance is essential for compliance, market success and customer trust in brands. 

Being compliant protects consumers and reduces the risk of recalls, legal issues, or reputational damage. For companies, regulatory compliance and testing are essential for market access, brand protection, product quality, and safety.

Are you ready to stay up to date with new regulations that will build loyalty and trust among your customers?
