This section shall apply only in cases where treated
					 fabrics are intended for use or may sometimes be used in the State of
					 California.
California Code of Regulations › Title 19 - Public Safety › Division 1 - State Fire Marshal › Chapter 8 - Regulations Relating to Flame Retardant Chemicals, Fabrics and Application Concerns › Article 8 - Flameproofing Certification, Labeling and Installation › Section 1321.1 - Fabric and Material Certification

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
All concerns in whose name an approved flame-resistant
					 fabric or material is registered shall issue approved certificates of flame
					 resistance covering all such products sold for use in occupancies governed by
					 the statutes. Copies shall be furnished the buyer as well as the State Fire
					 Marshal and the local fire authority of the customer's city. These certificates
					 shall be delivered within 10 days after the product is shipped and shall be
					 filled out completely and signed by an authorized representative of the
					 concern.
In addition to the required description on the reverse side
					 of the certificate as to yardage or quantity, color and kind, notation should
					 be made of the manufacturer's production or lot control number, the purchase
					 order or invoice number, and, where possible, the ultimate location and

California Code of Regulations › Title 19 - Public Safety › Division 1 - State Fire Marshal › Chapter 8 - Regulations Relating to Flame Retardant Chemicals, Fabrics and Application Concerns › Article 8 - Flameproofing Certification, Labeling and Installation › Section 1322 - Certified True Copies

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Upon receipt of written request justifying such privilege,
					 the State Fire Marshal may authorize issuance of certified true copies of
					 certificates of flame resistance where conditions warrant. These certified true
					 copies shall conform in every detail with the approved standard form on file in
					 the office of State Fire Marshall. This form is identical to the approved
					 standard certificate of flame resistance, with an additional legend appended,
					 as follows:
We hereby certify this to be a true copy of the original
					 "CERTIFICATE OF FLAME RESISTANCE" issued to us, "original copy" of which has
					 been filed with the California State Fire Marshal.
Spaces are provided below the legend for the names of the
					 authorized issuing concern and its designated official.
In every instance when a certified true copy is issued, a
					 copy shall be filed with the State Fire Marshal and the local fire authority in
					 the customer's city. Test specimens of required size shall accompany the copy
					 sent to the State Fire Marshal.
All of the data from the original certificate shall be
					 copied exactly, special attention being given to the name of the registered
					 chemical, fabric, or material and its registration number and the name of the
					 issuing concern's official.
Notation shall be made on the reverse side of the certified
					 true copy showing (a) the location of ultimate use, when known or obtainable,
					 such as school, theater, night club, or other occupancy governed by the
					 statutes, (b) the yardage or quantity, (c) the kind of fabric or material, (d)
					 its color, (e) the manufacturer's batch or production control number, and (f)
					 the purchase order or invoice number as a means for identification.
California Code of Regulations › Title 19 - Public Safety › Division 1 - State Fire Marshal › Chapter 8 - Regulations Relating to Flame Retardant Chemicals, Fabrics and Application Concerns › Article 8 - Flameproofing Certification, Labeling and Installation › Section 1323 - Filing Test Samples

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Flame-retardant application concerns shall attach to the
					 certificate submitted to the State Fire Marshal's office not less than one
					 two-inch (2") x six-inch (6") test sample of the fabric or material treated by
					 them, excepting only where such sample cannot be taken without defacing
					 finished converted goods such as curtains, drapes, flats, etc. No exception is
					 permitted for yardage goods.
Test specimens of approved registered fabrics and materials
					 shall be submitted to the State Fire Marshal. The wide variation in fire
					 resistant quality of registered products, ranging from noncombustible to
					 flameproof, militates against setting a single test size and frequency. In
					 general, a one foot (1') by three foot (3') specimen of each unit or lot of
					 fabric and film production bearing the production or lot number shall be
					 submitted by the producer directly to the State Fire Marshal. For other special
					 fabrics and materials, the sample size and test frequency will be specified on
					 an individual basis to the concern in whose name the product is
					 registered.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
To every article that is treated and to every roll or
					 package of registered approved fabric or material a small label or tag shall be
					 securely affixed, bearing the following information:
(a) The Seal of Registration of the State
				  Fire Marshal of California.
(b)
				  Name and registration number of the concern responsible for the job or
				  production.
(c) Name of the
				  registered chemical used or the registered fabric or material.
(d) Date the chemical was applied, or the
				  fabric or material was produced.
(e) The statement, "This article must be
				  re-treated after washing or drycleaning by systems with soap and water added"
				  (if treated with a "Type II" chemical).
This information may be stamped, printed or stenciled on
					 the article if so desired.
Concerns which treat or manufacture yardage goods may print
					 or stencil their name, or the name of their fabric if registered, on the
					 salvage (at least once every three yards) instead of affixing the label or tag
					 as above.

No drape, hanging, curtain, drop or similar decorative
					 material or exterior fabric which has been treated by a registered
					 flame-retardant application concern, either as yardage or after fabrication, or
					 which is made from a registered approved fabric shall be installed after the
					 effective date of these rules and regulations in any place or under any
					 condition governed by Sections
					 13115
					 and
					 13119
					 of the Health and Safety Code unless such drape, hanging, curtain, drop, or
					 similar decorative material or exterior fabric shall be labeled as required by

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
In cases where instructions are issued by the State Fire
					 Marshal requiring retreatment or replacement of fabrics or materials previously
					 treated with a flame-retardant chemical or registered as an approved fabric or
					 material, the retreatment or replacement shall be made within ten (10) days
					 after date of the order so requiring. A new certificate of flame resistance
					 covering each such retreatment shall be delivered as for an original job as is
					 provided for by Section
					 1321. A new sample of the
					 retreated fabric or material shall be attached to the certificate of flame
					 resistance submitted to the State Fire Marshal.
California Code of Regulations › Title 19 - Public Safety › Division 1 - State Fire Marshal › Chapter 8 - Regulations Relating to Flame Retardant Chemicals, Fabrics and Application Concerns › Article 8 - Flameproofing Certification, Labeling and Installation › Section 1327 - Installation

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The standard fire resistance tests presume installation of
					 approved registered fabrics in a normal vertical position. Some decorative
					 materials installed otherwise, such as in narrow strips or suspended overhead
					 in a horizontal position, may exhibit different burning characteristics. Since
					 it is not feasible to devise tests for all such installations differing from
					 normal, they must be judged on an individual basis. Where indicated, the State
					 Fire Marshal may perform such additional tests as he deems necessary to insure
					 adequate fire resistance of materials as installed.
