Are there fire-retardant certifications required for fabrics in public space outdoor tree boxes?
Fabrics used in public spaces, especially in outdoor tree boxes, often need to meet specific fire-retardant certifications to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations. These certifications are designed to minimize fire hazards and protect public property. Common standards include NFPA 701, ASTM E84, and EN 13501, which test fabrics for flame resistance and smoke density. Always check with local authorities to determine the exact requirements for your area. Using certified fire-retardant fabrics not only enhances safety but also helps avoid legal penalties.
