What cost increase is associated with meeting compliance with TB603?
There is no easy answer to this question. The cost will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and from product to product. Costs are also likely to change over time as producers and suppliers gain more experience in meeting TB603. The mattress producer today has a number of options to consider when designing and building TB603-compliant bed sets at different price points. The increased cost of the finished product will depend upon which mattress design and fire blocking system is used and how that system is applied to the bed set.
