The publisher’s words
The publisher lets each reader see 6 of this document’s clauses a day when signed in, or 5 without signing in.
This is the publisher’s condition for Klar Cite showing its words; the limits, the citation and everything else on this page are free to read. Showing the wording counts one clause.
How it is proven
- Evidence required
- declaration that the leather, textile fabric or coated fabric upholstery covering material complies with the limits specified in Table 10, supported by test reports.
- Who checks it
- Independent body verifies — a certifier, auditor or verifier with no stake
How Klar Cite classifies it
Klar Cite’s reading of the clause, not the scheme’s own claim.
- What it asks
- Meet — a limit, condition or outcome the product must satisfy
- Standing
- Required — must be met for the credential
- Impact area
- Human Health — the CMF area the clause addresses
- Refers to
- Table 10 — places elsewhere in the document
