That's a question for the Trading Standards and also they are the enforcing authority for Fire safety of furniture and furnishings in the home A Guide to the UK Regulations

Hi. I am kitting out a public arts building and theatre with furniture. I am commissioning a local wood store to make reclaimed tables and chairs out of wood and metal only for the public to use when they are waitinf ro a dance class or show. Will they need to be sprayed with fire retardant spray/ or treated and do I require the seller/ maker to give me some kind of cerificate that states the fire retartancy? Ive tried googling it and cannot find any info. Thanks Rose

 

Providing the furniture has no upholstery then standard paints or varnishes may be used the only proviso is the number of coats, no more than four.

Further to above check out Fire safety of furniture and furnishings in the contract and non-domestic sectors

Hi there- do you know if wooden futon frames are treated with or have to be treated with any fire retardant chemicals or is it just the mattress that needs to be?

Timber bed frames do not need to be treated but the mattresses are subject to Fire safety of furniture and furnishings in the contract and non-domestic sectors. 

Hi I have a friend who has just taken over a pub with wooden chairs and tables on the balcony the brewery has told them they have to go as there are a fire hazard they have been stained and varnish if they had new wooden furniture and it got coated with a fire retardant fliued and not stained or varnish would this be acceptable any help would be appreciated 

I have a Hypnos hideaway bed, trundle to many. As it has been rarely used I would like to donate to a charity.  The mattresses have fire safety labels. The frame though has nothing. Basically made out of wood with no upholstery on main and slide under frames. There is though a covering of material stuck to the frame but absolutely no stuffing.  It's  almost like a wallpaper of material. Is the charity correct in saying all pieces need to have a fire safety label? I can't  believe Hypnos would have produced such an item without the required certification. 

 

If a charity shop does not want to accept something (For what ever reason.) stating the law to them makes no difference, if their policy says do not accept it, they will not accept it. There is nothing in law that says they must accept everything offered. Yes, sometimes they are in error, but at the end of the day if they do not want something, you can not make them take it.

As a private individual there is nothing stopping you from selling/giving it away on "social media/auction site/freebe site" to another private individual.
