CDG Inspection Limited offers specialized testing services to ensure compliance with EN 1021-1:2014 and EN 1021-2:2014, which specify the ignition resistance requirements for upholstered furniture used in residential and commercial settings.Key Aspects of EN 1021-1:2014 & EN 1021-2:2014 TestingIgnitability Testing (EN 1021-1:2014): We evaluate the ignitability of upholstered furniture materials using a smoldering cigarette test. This involves exposing the upholstery to a smoldering cigarette to assess its tendency to ignite and sustain combustion, ensuring that the materials resist ignition from casual smoking.Flame Resistance Testing (EN 1021-2:2014): We conduct tests to assess the flame resistance of upholstered furniture using a match flame test. This test involves exposing the upholstery to a small open flame to evaluate its reaction and resistance to ignition, ensuring that it does not contribute excessively to fire spread.Material Evaluation: Our tests assess the performance of various materials used in upholstery, including fabrics, foams, and fillings. We evaluate their reaction to ignition sources to ensure they meet the required safety standards and do not pose a significant fire risk.Component Testing: We test individual components of upholstered furniture, such as cushions and padding, to verify their compliance with ignition resistance standards. This includes assessing how well these components resist ignition from smoldering and open flame sources.Compliance Verification: We ensure that the upholstered furniture adheres to the requirements specified in EN 1021-1:2014 and EN 1021-2:2014. This includes verifying that the materials and construction methods meet the prescribed ignition resistance criteria.Safety Analysis: Testing includes evaluating safety features such as flame retardant treatments and barriers. Documentation and Reporting: We provide detailed reports on the test results, including compliance status and any identified issues. This documentation is essential for regulatory compliance and for providing transparency to consumers.Benefits of EN 1021-1:2014 & EN 1021-2:2014 ComplianceEnhanced Fire Safety: Compliance ensures that upholstered furniture meets rigorous ignitability standards, reducing the risk of fire and enhancing safety for users.Consumer Confidence: Certification provides assurance to customers that the furniture has been tested for ignition resistance and meets required safety standards, boosting trust and satisfaction.Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to EN 1021-1:2014 and EN 1021-2:2014 facilitates compliance with European fire safety regulations, helping manufacturers meet legal requirements and avoid potential issues.Market Access: Meeting these ignition resistance standards can be crucial for accessing various markets and meeting retailer requirements, especially in regions with stringent fire safety regulations.Competitive Advantage: Demonstrates a commitment to high safety standards, offering a competitive edge by highlighting your dedication to fire safety and consumer protection.CDG Inspection Limited offers thorough testing for upholstered furniture to ensure compliance with EN 1021-1:2014 and EN 1021-2:2014.
