Dog harnesses are passive, non-electronic textile products — compliance is material- and market-driven, not a single universal certificate. Certifications are matched to product type and target market, confirmed per order. No certificate numbers are invented anywhere on this site.
| Standard | Scope | Typical Applies To |
|---|---|---|
| REACH | EU chemical safety regulation — restricts Substances of Very High Concern, restricted heavy metals and harmful dyes | All categories, core applicable standard for soft textile harnesses |
| CPSIA (voluntary reference) | Not mandatory for pet products, but lead-content limits often applied voluntarily: ≤100ppm accessible substrate, ≤90ppm surface coating | Products with potential child-contact exposure |
| California Proposition 65 | California state law restricting lead, phthalates and certain heavy metals | All categories sold into the California market |
| Nickel release testing | EU requirement for metal hardware in prolonged skin/animal contact | D-rings, buckles and other metal hardware |
| AZO dye testing | Restricts carcinogenic azo dyes in colored textiles | Dyed webbing and nylon components |
| CPS Safety Harness Crash Test (voluntary) | Center for Pet Safety crash-test protocol for vehicle restraint performance | Car-safety harness sub-category only, not general walking harnesses |
