I am looking into importing garden furniture from China. The furniture is made from metal & plastic with foam seat & backrest cushions. The factory has tested the foam slabs & the covering fabric which is removable, the results are as follows:
The sample(s) MEETS the following requirement(s):
1. The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988. S.I. No. 1324(amended 1989, 1993 and 2010),
Schedule 1, Part I, Ignitability test for foam in slab or cushion form when using ignition source 5 of BS 5852:Part 2:
1982
What I am trying to understand is, do I need to carry out some tests here in the UK or can I sell these with the current test results from China?
Lastly, it has the following label on all cushions:
. Filling material(s) and
coveting fabric(s) meet the
UK requirements for
resistance to cigarette and
match ignition in The
Furniture and Furnishings
(Fire) (Safety) regulations
1988.
CARELESSNESS
CAUSES FIRE
Is this adequate for labelling or is more required?
