Frequently asked questions
What do BS 5852 Crib 5 and Crib 7 mean?
BS 5852 is the British Standard method for assessing the ignitability of upholstered seating. Crib 5 and Crib 7 are two of its wooden-crib ignition sources; Crib 7 is the larger and more demanding of the two.
Which fabric meets Crib 7?
CHANCE Crib 7 | B1. It is also certified to DIN 4102 B1 and NF P 92-507 M1, and is designed for high-traffic venues such as stadiums and auditoriums.
Do these fabrics carry other fire certifications?
Yes. Each collection lists its full set of fire certifications on its product page — for example EN 1021-1+2 and IMO 2010 FTP Code Part 8 on several collections. Ask our team for the test reports your project requires.
Does the fabric certificate cover the finished chair?
A fire test covers the fabric as tested with the composite described in its report. Confirm the full upholstery build — foam, interliner and fabric — for your own project.
Can I order samples?
Yes — samples are free. Add them to your cart from any collection, or contact us for project specifications.
