AnthonyB Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 It's now BS7177:2008+A1:2011 BS 7177:2008 was a full revision of the standard, and introduced references to mattress pads and changes arising from revisions to related standards. References to legislation were also updated. The principal changes introduced by Amendment A1 are to the wording of the fabric specifications in Annexes A, B and C. These changes are to make the fabric specification identical to that stated in the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) (Amendment) Regulations 2010 [3a]. The technical specification of the fabric, and the results of any ignitability tests in which the fabric is used, are not affected by the changes.
