Usage and Safety Instructions

Blankets

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

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

Standard Description
EN ISO 6941:2003 Textile fabrics — Burning behaviour — Measurement of flame spread properties of vertically oriented specimens
EN ISO 12952-1:2010 Textiles — Assessment of the ignitability of bedding items - Part 1: Ignition source: smouldering cigarette
EN ISO 12952-2:2010 Textiles — Assessment of the ignitability of bedding items - Part 2: Ignition source: match-flame equivalent

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.

Garments

The main requirements when making garments from our fabric are related to labelling

The following are relevant standards for garments:

Standard Description
EN 13402:2002 Size designation of clothes
EN 14682:2014 Safety of children's clothing - Cords and drawstrings on children's clothing - Specifications

You must make sure you construct your garments safely, but otherwise, the only strict requirements are about labelling, which only apply if you're looking to market your creations for sale.

Soft Furnishings

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

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

Standard Description
BS 5815-3:2021 Sheets, sheeting, pillowslips, towels, napkins, counterpanes and continental quilt secondary covers suitable for use in the public sector - Specification for counterpanes and continental quilt secondary covers including flammability performance
BS 7175:1989 Methods of test for the ignitability of bedcovers and pillows by smouldering and flaming ignition sources

EN ISO 12952-2:2010 Textiles — Assessment of the ignitability of bedding items - Part 2: Ignition source: match-flame equivalent
