June 15, 201510 yr comment_7634 Hi, Could you please let me know if there is a fire safety standard which is required to be met for the production of a fabric radiator cover. We have noted that the regulations cover the stretch covers of furniture, but as a radiator does not fall under the category of furniture, we are a little confused. Many thanks for any help you can offer. Kind regards David Report

June 15, 201510 yr comment_7647 Tom, Fabric radiator covers really are covers for radiators made from fabric. Available in lots of fabrics and some can have photos printed on them. The idea is so that small people do not burn themsleves on the radiator. Personlally I would just turn it down. Report
June 16, 201510 yr comment_7650 I am not certain but I do not believe they would be subject to Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988/1989, 1993 and 2010 because they are similar to curtains or carpets which are not include. If I was to test their fire safety properties I would use, BS EN 13772:2011 Textiles and textile products. Burning behaviour. Curtains and drapes. Measurement of flame spread of vertically oriented specimens with large ignition source or, BS 5867-2:2008 Fabrics for curtains, drapes and window blinds. Flammabililty requirements. Specification, either would be suitable. Report
