At Ivančica d.d., quality is more than just a visual standard – it is validated by the strictest European and global certifications. Every pair of Froddo shoes is the result of rigorous processes that ensure maximum safety for children, protect our employees, and uphold a responsible commitment to nature.
Product Safety and Compliance
GPSR – General Product Safety Regulation
We are fully aligned with the European Union’s new General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR). This standard guarantees the highest level of consumer protection through rigorous traceability and documented safety for every model. For our customers, this means complete transparency and the assurance that each product meets the latest EU market regulations.
REACH Compliance
All materials – from leather to buckles and adhesives – fully comply with REACH regulations on the restriction of hazardous substances. Our footwear contains no heavy metals, phthalates, or other toxic chemicals, ensuring a healthy environment for your child’s skin.
Chrome-Free Leather Lining
In our collections, we primarily use linings made from natural leather treated without chrome. This is the ideal solution for children with sensitive skin and allergies, as it reduces the risk of irritation and allows the foot to breathe naturally.
ISO 14001 – Environmental Management
This certificate confirms that we systematically manage all environmental aspects of our production in Ivanec. We are committed to reducing waste, conserving resources, and continuously improving our impact on nature.
