Although I man4acture contract furniture, most of the fabrics I use are provided by interior designers (COM fabrics). How will this affect testing and compliance with TB 133?
A. It is important to remember that the responsibility for compliance with Th 133 rests with the furniture manufacturer. Therefore, manufacturers should be certain that all components used in making furniture are compatible, with respect to TB 133. The use of highly flammable fabric on furniture may significantly affect the way the furniture performs in the TB 133 test. If you receive a lot of COM fabrics, you have little or no control over many of the fabrics you use; you should look carefully at the various fire-blocking materials available. The use of a high-quality fire blocker will allow a broad spectrum of upholstery fabrics to be used without significantly affecting the TB 133 test results.
