EFIC, the European Furniture Industries Confederation, welcomes the opportunity to give input to the amendments on the UK Furniture and Furnishings Fire Safety Regulations (FFRs) via TRIS notification 2025/7003/XI. We have been following closely the UK FFRs over the years and we have contributed to all related public consultations.
The European furniture industry needs a harmonised European regulatory framework to reduce the use of unwanted toxic flame retardants in furniture and support the industry to comply with EU Regulations - such as the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and product aspects like presence of substances of concern, design for recyclability, among others. A harmonised framework will help reduce exposure to harmful chemicals and boost a more circular economy.
In this context, we welcome a new approach to fire safety for furniture and mattresses in the UK and the government’s intention to facilitate a reduction of chemical flame retardants.
Please find attached our main remarks and recommendations on the UK Office for Product Safety and Standards’ Policy Paper “The fire safety of domestic upholstered furniture”, published on 22 January 2025.
