Usage and Safety Instructions

Outdoor Furniture

As well as the standards that apply to all other furniture, outdoor furniture should be resistant to the elements.

The following standards may apply to outdoor furniture:

Standard Description
BS 5852:2006 Methods of test for assessment of the ignitability of upholstered seating by smouldering and flaming ignition sources
EN 581-1:2017 Outdoor furniture - Seating and tables for camping, domestic and contract use - Part 1: General safety requirements
EN 581-2:2015/AC:2016 Outdoor furniture - Seating and tables for camping, domestic and contract use - Part 2: Mechanical safety requirements and test methods for seating
EN 581-3:2017 Outdoor furniture - Seating and tables for camping, domestic and contract use - Part 3: Mechanical safety requirements for tables
EN 1021-1:2014 Furniture - Assessment of the ignitability of upholstered furniture - Part 1: Ignition source smouldering cigarette
EN 1021-2:2014 Furniture - Assessment of the ignitability of upholstered furniture - Part 2: Ignition source match flame equivalent
EN 12520:2024 Furniture - Safety, strength and durability - Requirements for domestic seating

In general, corners and edges should be rounded, chamfered or otherwise protected to avoid physical injury.

Instructions should be included for the safe erection and operation of furniture, and furniture should not contain pinch points that could harm the user during regular use.

Seating should be able to withstand a 110kg person sitting on them with all other standards remaining compliant.

Proportions should be sufficiently ergonomic as to be comfortable for the average person.

Any fabric used in the manufacture of outdoor furniture should not impede these requirements in any way, and should provide appropriate levels of fire safety in accordance with other furniture safety standards.

More Details

EN 581-1 defines general safety requirements for seating, and includes the following stipulations:

For seating, the edges and corners of the seat, back rest and arm rests which are directly in contact with the user when sitting, lying or reclining shall be rounded or chamfered.

For table tops the edges and corners which are directly in contact with the user shall be rounded or chamfered.

All other edges and corners of seating and tables, accessible during use shall be free from burrs or/and sharp edges

There shall be no accessible holes in the ends of tubular components with a diameter between 7 mm and 12 mm with a depth more than or equal to 10 mm.

There shall be no shear or squeeze points, ie distances between 7 and 18 mm, between the moving parts other than those generated by folding furniture while being positioned for use.

There shall be no shear or squeeze points between parts of the furniture operated by mechanisms such as mechanical springs or gas lifts.

There must be no shear or squeeze points produced by the user's weight during normal movements and actions, e.g. attempting to move the seating by lifting the seat or adjusting the backrest.

The bottom of tubular legs shall be capped or plugged.

EN 581-2 defines the resistance and durability requirements for seating in 3 levels of use, from lowest to highest:

  • Camping
  • Domestic
  • Non-domestic

for outdoor furniture, with 3 levels of requirements, and includes outdoor sun loungers, seats, sofas and any other seating.

EN 581-3 is mostly concerned with tables, and so the relation to fabric is minimal - however, if you are incorporating our fabric into a table, you should make sure you adhere to those standards.

EN 1730 defines the test procedures for outdoor seating in line with EN 581-2 and EN 581-3.

Upholstery

If you're making upholstery using our fabric, then you need to make it safely.

The primary concern is fire resistance. There are many standards that apply to upholstery:

Standard Description
BS 5852:2006 Methods of test for assessment of the ignitability of upholstered seating by smouldering and flaming ignition sources
EN 1021-1:2014 Furniture - Assessment of the ignitability of upholstered furniture - Part 1: Ignition source smouldering cigarette
EN 1021-2:2014 Furniture - Assessment of the ignitability of upholstered furniture - Part 2: Ignition source match flame equivalent
EN 14465:2003 Textiles - Upholstery fabrics - Specification and methods of test
IMO FTP Code 2010 Part 8 Upholstered Furniture Fire Test

And please note this list is not exhaustive - every country has its own regulations and some may be stricter or more relaxed than shown here.

Also, the requirements largely depend on where your item will be used. Furnishings destined for home use have much more relaxed requirements than those intended for use in a school or hospital, for example.

You should make sure that this fabric meets your specific requirements for fire safety when making your end product, whether it is for sale or not.

You can use our FR standards as a guideline, but it is important that you understand the different standards and to which situations they are applicable.

If in doubt, contact FIRA for advice in the UK about fire safety for furniture.

You must also make sure your furniture is mechanically sound. Make sure there are no pinch points or likely points of failure, as this could cause serious injury.
