Verification Scope

This document validates claims CLM-001 through CLM-008 listed in the Barklin internal registry. Generic substitutions are not permitted.

❌ Material Exclusions (Not Used)

• ⛔ NO Coated Webbing: (e.g. BioThane®/PVC) – Excluded due to breathability risks.
• ⛔ NO Animal Leather: – Excluded due to hydrophilic instability.
• ⛔ NO Paracord/Rope: – Excluded due to pressure concentration risks.

Engineering Note

Wide formats are the preferred pressure-distribution construction. No medical claims are made.

Intended use
Controlled, hand-held leash walking in domestic environments.

Explicitly prohibited use
- tethering or tie-out systems
- vehicle restraint or crash-load applications
- high-velocity or impact-based restraint scenarios

Load & rating disclosure
Barklin products are not load-rated for static or dynamic force thresholds. No tensile strength, break-force, or failure-mode guarantees are claimed.

Hardware boundary
Magnetic fastening systems are designed for ease of use in controlled walking contexts and are not positioned as safety-critical, redundant-lock industrial systems.

Care supports hygiene and responsible use.

• Wash: cold, gentle cycle
• Dry: air dry

Wear vs defect
Surface wear and cosmetic change are expected outcomes of real use and are not automatically treated as defects.

Repair preference
Minor repairs are preferred where feasible.

End of life
Material-aware disposal is encouraged. No recycling or impact outcome is claimed.

Pricing reflects the consequence of:
- named material inputs
- controlled EU-based small-batch assembly
- component sourcing discipline
- quality control overhead

No premium/luxury status claims and no comparative pricing claims are made.

Barklin utilizes inputs pre-certified under the following global standards:

• OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 (Class I): Verified for: Webbing, Thread, Labels, and Recycled Line Buckles. View 2M Certification Scope
• REPREVE® U-TRUST®: Verified for: Recycled content in design overlay yarns. View Verification Standard

Clarification: Certificates are held by the raw material suppliers (2M, Gütermann, Unifi), not by the Barklin brand entity directly.
