As the largest manufacturer of soft sided insulated products in the world, we believe it is our responsibility to provide our valued customers with important information regarding the steps we take to ensure only the safest products are delivered to market. At Arctic Zone®, we call this Ultra Safe™.
All products manufactured by Arctic Zone® undergo an enforced testing protocol to ensure that they meet the criteria set by the Ultra Safe™ designation, a guarantee that the Arctic Zone® product you have purchased is safe.
In fact, because producing safe products has always been our mission, we have set our limits well below those of federal and international standards.
Even before lead became an issue in the U.S., our products met the very stringent international lead standard developed by the European Union (EN-71 Part 3) which requires that there be less than 90g/kg (or 90 parts per million) of leachable or soluble lead on the interior of the product.
Other standards include the U.S. F.D.A. (no detectable leachable lead in interior liners), the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (less than 1 ug/100cm2/wipe), California's Proposition 65 and EN-71 Part 3 (less than 90g/kg)
The Lead Safe Detection System™ (LSDS), designed exclusively by Arctic Zone® and part of Ultra Safe™, is an extremely strict Quality Control standard that is enforced by our first rate QC team. The LSDS monitors every stage of the production process so as to ensure that all products from Arctic Zone® are safe.
* All of our interior liners have no detectable leachable/soluble lead in them.
