What are the fire-retardant certifications required for public fabric sculptures?
Public fabric sculptures must meet specific fire-retardant certifications to ensure safety and compliance with local and international fire regulations. The most common certification is NFPA 701, which tests the flammability of textiles and films used in public spaces. Other standards include CAL 117 for upholstered items and ASTM E84 for surface burning characteristics. These certifications ensure that the materials used resist ignition and slow flame spread, reducing fire hazards. Always verify compliance with local authorities to meet legal requirements and protect public safety.
