What safety certifications exist for flame-retardant fabric outdoor planters?
Flame-retardant fabric outdoor planters are increasingly popular for their safety and durability. To ensure these products meet rigorous fire safety standards, several certifications are available. Key certifications include UL 94 (Underwriters Laboratories), which tests flammability of plastic materials, and NFPA 701 (National Fire Protection Association), a standard for fire-resistant textiles. Additionally, ASTM E84 evaluates surface burning characteristics, while CAL 117 addresses flammability in furnishings. For outdoor use, look for certifications like FMVSS 302 (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard) for automotive-grade flame resistance. Always verify certifications to ensure compliance with local safety regulations.
