Furniture Upholstery / Upholstered Seating Fire Resistance & Ignitability Testing
Ensuring Safer Furniture Through Fire Performance Testing
CDG Inspection Limited provides Furniture Upholstery Fire Resistance Testing and Upholstered Seating Ignitability Testing to evaluate how upholstered furniture materials respond when exposed to ignition sources. These tests help manufacturers demonstrate compliance with fire safety regulations and improve the safety and reliability of their products.
Our testing services assess the fire performance of upholstered seating, sofas, chairs, office furniture, hospitality furniture, and other upholstered products using internationally recognized test methods and standards.
What is Upholstery Fire Resistance & Ignitability Testing?
Furniture upholstery fire resistance and ignitability testing evaluates the ability of upholstery fabrics, foam, fillings, and complete seating assemblies to resist ignition and limit flame spread when exposed to sources such as smouldering cigarettes or small open flames.
These tests help determine whether furniture meets applicable fire safety requirements for residential, commercial, healthcare, hospitality, educational, and public environments.
