Curtains

The main requirements when making curtains from our fabric are related to fire safety.

The following are relevant standards for fire safety for curtains:

Standard Description
BS 5867-2:2008 Fabrics for curtains, drapes and window blinds - Flammability requirements. Specification
EN 13772:2011 Textiles and textile products - Burning behaviour - Curtains and drapes - Measurement of flame spread of vertically oriented specimens with large ignition source

IMO FTP Code 2010 Part 7 Test for vertically supported textiles and films

The exact requirements depend on the end use and where the product is going to be used.

There are few specific requirements for consumer use, however, if the product will end up in a public place, generally the requirements are stricter.

You must make sure your fabric of choice meets the necessary fire safety requirements.

Note that construction of the final piece can change the fire safety characteristics, including the choice of thread, accessories, lining, etc.

If your intend to retail your products, it is highly recommended to get the final products tested for fire safety before marketing them for sale.

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.

Kitchenware

The main concerns when making kitchenware is heat safety for the end user.

If you're making oven gloves or trivets, then you need to make sure it is safe to use and isn't going to burn the user.

  • EN 1186:2022 - Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs. Plastics

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

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.
