This guide provides a clear overview of the regulatory framework and flammability testing requirements for upholstered furniture in the UK and EU. It explains the roles of the GB and EU General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR) and the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations (FFFSR), and how these link with relevant British Standards.
The guide outlines the flammability tests used to assess ignition resistance of upholstery components, how these are defined within FFFSR schedules, and how compliance may involve both component and finished product testing. It also explains how to interpret flammability test reports, including understanding results, observations, and failure outcomes.
Designed for manufacturers, retailers, and importers, this guide supports the application of test data to help meet FFFSR and GPSR requirements.
