Flammability training schedule - April to June

Bookings are now open for our next scheduled flammability training sessions taking place from April to June.

All sessions are hosted by our flammability expert, Steve Cotton, who has a wealth of experience not only in flammability testing but also in understanding the often complex regulations.

Steve will be hosting three sessions, each with a focus on a different sector.

Flammability Requirements for Beds and Mattresses, Across the Domestic and Commercial Sectors

• 27 April 2023, 10:30-12:00

This course will work through the different requirements so you will understand how to achieve compliance, including labelling and due diligence. It will be split between the domestic and contract requirements, including The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 (FFFSR) and the RRFSO (Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order).

It also focuses on the key standard: BS 7177:2008+A1:2011 Specification for resistance to ignition of mattresses, mattress pads, divans and bed base.

Understanding Flammability Requirements for the Contract and Office Furniture Sector

• 17 May 2023, 10:30-12:00

This course looks at how the RRFSO (Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order) applies to the contract and office furniture sector. It specifically also looks at BS 7176:2007+A1:2011 Specification for resistance to ignition of upholstered furniture for non-domestic seating by testing composites.

Steve will also help you to understand hazard levels, required testing, labelling requirements and how your organisation can demonstrate compliance and ongoing due diligence. See more on this course.

Understanding the Domestic Furniture Regulations and Working to Compliance

• 9 June 2023, 10:30-12:00

This domestic course places heavy emphasis on the Furniture & Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988, as failure to comply with this key regulation can lead to prosecution.

The curriculum includes the background and scope of the FFFSR, testing requirements, labelling requirements, how to demonstrate compliance and ongoing due diligence.

It will then look at the latest on the current review of the regulations. See more on this course.
