# Flame-retardant fabrics for contract and hospitality use

## Which fire safety classes exist, where they are required and what you need to consider when choosing.

In hotels, restaurants, medical practices, offices, schools and event venues, fire safety requirements often apply to curtains and upholstery. Exactly which ones depends on national and local building regulations, regulations for places of assembly and the requirements of the operator or insurer. Please clarify the requirements with your architect, fire safety officer or the responsible authority before you buy.

**The main classes and standards**

| Standard | Applies to | What the class means |
| --- | --- | --- |
| DIN 4102-1, class B1 | building materials, including curtains and wall coverings (Germany) | flame-retardant |
| EN 13501-1, e.g. B-s1,d0 | building materials (European) | reaction to fire, smoke production (s) and flaming droplets (d) |
| EN 13773 | curtains and drapes | classification of the burning behaviour of curtains |
| EN 1021-1 and -2 | upholstered furniture | ignitability by cigarette and match flame |
| BS 5852 (Crib 5) | upholstered furniture for contract use (United Kingdom) | ignitability by a larger ignition source |

In France, class M1 is common; in Italy, Classe 1.

**Inherently flame-retardant or treated?**

- **Inherently flame-retardant:** The fibre itself is flame-retardant, for example Trevira CS. This property remains even after washing.
- **Flame-retardant treated:** The [fabric](https://www.meinewand.com/en/fabrics) was impregnated afterwards. Washing or cleaning can reduce the effect; the treatment must then be renewed.
- **Naturally flame-retardant:** Wool burns poorly and tends to char rather than burn. However, wool also needs to be tested to provide proof.

**Our fabrics for contract use**

A fire safety class is currently not shown as a separate feature in our product details. Many manufacturers can supply test certificates or have fabrics treated to be flame-retardant. Write to us via the [Business customer area](https://support.meinewand.com/en/business-customer-area?hsLang=en) or the [contact form](https://support.meinewand.com/en/contact?hsLang=en), stating the fabric, product number, quantity and required standard. We will check with the manufacturer whether a certificate is available.

Important: for approval, you usually need a test certificate for the specific fabric. A general statement in a product description is usually not sufficient.
