The Flame Retarded Textiles Network, UK (FRETWORK) has launched a Primary Authority partnership with Nottingham County Council Trading Standards to enable participating companies to benefit from formally assured advice. FRETWORK members have developed a Code of Good Practice (FCoGP), see pinfa Newsletter n°86, for flame retardant application to furniture textiles, covering treatments made and process control, testing, compliance with the UK Furniture Fire Safety Regulations, and ensuring supply chain traceability. An audit scheme of FCoGP code compliance is now being developed with the County Trading Standards.
