These are for domestic upholstered furniture, furnishings and other products containing upholstery. These are UK law and are designed to ensure that upholstery components and composites used for furniture supplied in the UK meet specified ignition resistance levels. These items require to be suitably labelled. Curtain fabrics should also comply with the required fire safety regulations. There are many companies  which can flameproof fabrics in cut lengths or rolls to meet the fire safety regulations. Upholstery companies, or companies which make-up finished goods for upholstery or curtain end-uses should be aware of these regulations. Most customers do not state the end-use they intend the fabrics for. However, if in doubt please discuss with our sales team.
