Contract Headboard Swatch Samples

All the fabrics below comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988. Previously, this was under British Standard (BS) 7177 1996, which has since been succeeded by BS 7177 2008.This British Standard is broken into individual tests; BS EN597/1 (Cigarette) and BS EN597/2 (Match), with contract furniture having to comply with and pass BS 6807 (Flame Retardant). BS 6807 is also known as the 'Crib 5' or 'Source 5' test. The term CRIB 5 or otherwise know as Ignition Source 5, relates to furniture or furnishings, including headboard beds and mattresses which have been tested to pass UK Fire Regulations 1988. The tests carried out do not make an item entirely fireproof, but dramatically reduces the risk of ignition which could potentially save lives.
