ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018 standard
(developed by the Window Coverings Manufacturer’s Association and the Consumer Product Safety Commission)
was established on December 15, 2018, to eliminate strangulation hazards for small children from hanging cords and chain loops.
When a Draper
®
dealer specifies that custom shades comply with ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018, Draper provides a pre-installed Spring-Loaded Chain
Tension Device
(shown at right)
for clutch-operated units. A warning label is attached to the kit and approved mechanical fasteners are included.
When properly installed, the tension device prevents the creation of a hazardous loop by maintaining tension on the bead chain.
If not installed properly, the shade is partially inoperable. A warning label
(shown below)
is also added to the shade roller.
For more information, please see the ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018 compliance page:

Field Adjustments
Each Draper Solar Control Shade is tested to ensure
proper operation. Even with this testing, some field
adjustments may be needed for telescoping.
If the shade is telescoping, place a piece of high quality
gaffer tape about 1"
(25mm)
wide on the exposed roller
(where the fabric will cover it)
on the side that the
fabric will be drawn toward. For example: if the fabric
is tracking to the left, place the tape on the right side.
