  1. Hi, I'm starting a new, very small (just me!) business making things like bunting, tote bags, home decorations from textiles (mainly using cotton fabrics). I also would like to make cushions and seat pads. I have read and re-read the rules and the guidance notes regarding fire safety labels and I am still none the wiser, so I am hoping somebody may be able to shed some light! I think I'm right in thinking that with items like bunting you don't necessarily need fire labels but I plan to add a swing tag with care information on it, including 'keep away from fire'. For tote bags and cushion covers, I will sew a 'keep away from fire' label inside. I'm not sure if this is necessary, but I'm going to anyway!! Is this enough? However, the main one that concerns me is if I make a seat pad. I cannot work out from the guidance notes whether or not they need a permanent label attached to them? I would be buying the material and foam for the filling of the seat pad from reputable suppliers who I know would be able to supply test certificates if asked. But do I need to attach a label? If so, what sort of label and what information does it need? And how would I attach this to the foam? I would be making the seat pads with zips, so if I do have to legally provide a label, can this be attached inside to the cushion cover? Sorry for so many questions, but I just can't seem to find out the information anywhere...well not in simple terms for someone simple like me lol Thanks in advance!
