In premises open to the public, every combustible fitting that does not already carry its classification must be treated: hangings and curtains, stage sets, artificial foliage, exhibition-stand furniture, exposed wood. The classification expected is most often M1 for textiles and foliage. It is established by an LNE classification test report and evidenced by the application declaration.
PAB fire standards in France are very strict for obvious reasons. Indeed, Public Access Buildings are subject to safety standards to prevent fires. In particular, they must ensure that they use non-combustible furniture and equipment. This is why PAB suppliers and PAB must ensure that the materials meet the M1 fire protection standards. It is possible to purchase materials or furniture that are already classified M1. But in other cases, the fire-retardant material must be treated. To do this, we suggest fire-retardant treatment the material by spraying fire retardant. Let’s look at some examples where standard M1 fire-retardant treatment of the material is necessary :
