FR-One Fire Retardant Fabrics is the industry-leader in Inherently Fire-Retardant (IFR) furnishing fabrics for contract, hospitality, and residential use. FR-One Fire Retardant fabrics will not propagate the spread of flames, meaning that they will assist in containing flames by their self-extinguishing characteristics. It is important to remember that if your FR fabric is not certified FR-One, it is not an FR-One fabric.
All FR-One Fire Retardant fabrics are rigorously tested in independent, certified laboratories and testing houses. In order to preserve the Inherent Flame-Retardant characteristics of FR-One fabrics, it is imperative to refuse any additional treatments or finishes as it may affect or alter the fabric’s Inherent Fire Retardant characteristics and quality.

A flame is applied to a vertically oriented test fabric to determine the burning behavior.
A specimen of the fabric for maritime use to be tested is oriented vertically. A flame is applied to it to determine the burning behavior.
The test fabric is exposed to different ignition sources, namely a burning cigarette and butane flame, to examine its burning behavior.
An assembly of upholstery materials for maritime use is subjected to 2 ignition sources: a smoldering cigarette and a flaming source equivalent to a burning match.
Electrical burner test (for 503), complementary rate of flame spread test (for 504) and dripping test (for 505).
For German DIN 4102 (B1), a material is classified as B1 if it fulfils the requirements of a B2-test and the ‘fire shaft’ test.
