Guest Nicky Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 I had a delivery today of 2 brand new beds, matresses and headboards from a large online retailer, but I'm concerned because the divan bases have no labels on them at all. I called the company who said that because they state the beds comply with UK fire standards online that they dont need to. Is this correct?

Tom Sutton Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 That is not correct, if the divan base is upholstered the permanent labels should be permanently fitted to the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pelle.m Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 On 22/03/2022 at 09:53, Guest Pelle.m said: Are there any regulations regarding the placement of the permanent FR labels. For example, do they have to be visible at all times, or can they be sewn into the cover and be visible when the zipper is open? Does anyone have an idea if this is allowed?

Tom Sutton Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 They do not need to be visible at all times, they can they be sewn into the cover and be visible when the zipper is open. You cannot replace permanent labels this is done when the item is manufactured and they are the only one that can fix permanent labels.

Guest Guest Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Is it illegal to privately sell a sofa that does not have a fire safety label on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Strictly speaking, No but you do have moral duty to inform the purchaser that the item of furniture does not meet the regulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Emma S Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 I have just bought and had delivered a two seater leather sofa and the fire label is hanging off a plastic thread to the back cushion on the side and is in the way of the sliding action of the recliners.. Which means very soon it is just going to be broken off. Why don't manufacturers put these labels underneath furniture and not in the way of either the aesthetics of them or the actions of them..So now I have no idea what to do with this fire label when it is broken off my sofa in the near future..

Tom Sutton Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 There are two fire labels on a upholstered item of furniture the permanent one and display label which are you talking about.

Guest Rita Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 Can I still sell my suit which is fireproof but lost the ticket which said it was fireproof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green-foam Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 I presume you mean suite? It should have had a permanent label sewn to it somewhere, if this is no longer there, then if you are a professional seller/retailer then no you can not sell it. If you are a private individual, it will be up to the buyer if they wish to buy it or not. If they do not want it, it will have to be disposed of at the dump as charity shops will NOT accept it if it does not have a permanently attached "fire label" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tony Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 On our multiyork sofa the label is at the back right of the sofa at the bottom. Look for a zip in the seam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
