What are the flammability ratings of composite material outdoor ottomans?
Composite material outdoor ottomans are popular for their durability and weather resistance, but understanding their flammability ratings is crucial for safety. These ratings are determined by standardized tests that measure how easily materials ignite, spread flames, and release heat. Common flammability standards include ASTM E84 (Surface Burning Characteristics) and UL 94 (Plastic Flammability). Composite materials often achieve Class A or B ratings, indicating low to moderate flame spread. Always check manufacturer specifications to ensure compliance with local fire safety regulations for outdoor furniture. Proper placement away from open flames and heat sources further enhances safety.
