QUALITY AND SAFETY

Quality
All of our products are tested internally and by independent test institutes to ensure that the latest safety and quality requirements are being met. These requirements are regulated by the laws that apply in the countries we are active in as well as by our own internal requirements. We control quality, durability, safety and chemical-checks continuously on all our products. Examples of tests we carry out internally:

- Fit
- Sustainability
- Functional properties
- Washing and stability
- Chemicals

Child safety
We place high standards and demands on our children’s range. Our products are specially adapted and designed for children and comply with EU standards (EN 14682: 2014) regarding child safety. Besides EU standards all of our children clothing mush meet our own requirements concerning properties, function, durability and safety. Therefore, we always implement a general risk assessment of all of our children’s products to make sure that the user is not exposed to any dangers. For example, all children’s outerwear from SOC has detachable hoods.

Governing documents
To achieve our goals we need tools and guidelines. In addition to following law and regulations, we have set up policies and governing documents which supports us in our work. In relation to our suppliers, we have two governing documents; supplier code (Code of Conduct) and business code of ethics (Code of Ethics). Internally, we have policies regarding employment conditions, work environment, gender equality, diversity and recruitment.
