В компании Tork инновации всегда направлены на достижение конкретной цели — сделать профессиональную гигиену более эффективной и доступной. Сегодня бренд, входящий в международную группу Essity, достиг мирового прорыва — Tork is the first brand in the world to be certified under the European "Design for All" standard (EN 17161).

What is “Design for All”?

This standard Design for All promotes the development of products and solutions that are accessible to the widest possible range of users, regardless of age, physical abilities, strength, or special needs. In professional hygiene, this approach is especially important in high-traffic areas such as shopping centers, office buildings, hospitals, and restaurants.

“We are committed to making public hygiene accessible to everyone. That’s why we actively eliminate both visible and invisible barriers,” explains Kristian Grennfelt, Global Brand Innovation Director at Tork, Essity.

Why is this important?

According to research, over 90% of people say it is important to have easy access to hygiene in public spaces,especially in restrooms. Tork solutions help create a safer, more comfortable environment and contribute to a positive image for your business—whether for customers, employees, or visitors.

A real-life example: Tork PeakServe

One example of a product developed according to these principles is the Tork PeakServe line of paper towel dispensers. They require minimal pulling force, making them user-friendly for children, seniors, or people with reduced mobility. The product is Easy to Use , certified by the Swedish Rheumatism Association..

A recognition achieved through determination

Tork began pursuing Design for All before any body was officially authorized to issue it. Thanks to this commitment, the RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) became the first accredited institute authorized to certify EN 17161. Today, Tork’s dispenser development process is audited annuallyto ensure compliance and continuous improvement.
