What is an AB1817 letter of compliance?

All PALECEK labeled fabrics comply with the requirements of AB 1817 ( California PFAS Law) and do not contain any regulated PFAS. We are the supplier of these fabrics and not the manufacturer.

California Assembly Bill No. 1817 (AB 1817) prohibits the manufacture and sale or distribution in the state of California, of textile articles that contain regulated perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) beginning January 1, 2025. It requires the textile manufacturer to provide those that offer the product for sale or distribution a certificate of compliance stating that the textile article is in compliance with the requirements of AB 1817 and does not contain any regulated PFAS.

California Assembly Bill No. 2998 (AB 2998) requires upholstered furniture sold and distributed in commerce in California to be free from covered flame-retardant chemicals. The states of Maine and Rhode Island have similar laws.

To process your COM order in compliance with these regulations, we require a letter of compliance on the Fabric Mill letterhead signed by an authorized official of the manufacturer. The certificate shall include the following:

  • Purchase Order Number
  • COM Fabric Name and/or Fabric Item number
  • Statement that the fabric is in compliance with AB 1817 and does not contain any regulated PFAS if order is shipping after 1/1/25.
  • Statement that the fabric does not contain covered flame retardant chemicals if shipping to California, Maine or Rhode Island (AB 2998)
  • The letter can be sent with the COM fabric or emailed to Customer Service.

We will not be able to proceed with your order until the letter of compliance from the fabric mill is received.

If the letter is sent separately from the fabric, please send with a copy of your COM form to our mailing address or email to email.

Where do I send my COM information?

COM information can be filled out online in the order portal associated with the COM order. If you are having issues accessing the digital form, please contact customer service.

Where do I send my COM Fabric?

PALECEK
ATTENTION COM Department

SIDEMARK: (PALECEK Customer name, Account #, Order #)

Please include your customer PO or PALECEK order number on the side mark or on the packing slip. Failure to provide this information can result in delays in processing.

How do I determine yardage for COM orders?

Estimated yardage is specified on product pages and tear sheets. COM yardage is based on a 54-inch solid fabric. Fabric with unusual patterns or proportions may require additional yardage, PALECEK is not responsible for additional fabric needed or the return of excess fabric.

Please email the COM department to confirm yardage amounts before ordering fabric.

I have a large order, does this change the amount of fabric needed per item?

For large orders, we may require less yardage as we are able to use the fabric more efficiently. Please email the COM department to confirm yardage amounts before ordering fabric.

How can I check to see if PALECEK has received my fabric?

You can check to see if your fabric has been received in the order portal. See the attached image for instructions on where the tracking information is located in your order details.
