On an exhibition stand, every visible combustible element must be able to evidence its reaction-to-fire classification: carpet, hangings, partitions, furniture, artificial foliage and sets. The level asked for by the organiser is most often M1 for textiles and foliage. The evidence expected is the classification test report, together with the application declaration.
In the world of trade shows, fairs, and exhibitions, your stand is your commercial showcase. However, behind the aesthetics lies a strict legal obligation: fire safety compliance. Whether you are an event agency, a decorator, or an exhibitor, fire safety is non-negotiable in Public Access Buildings (ERP).
The materials used for the structure, furniture, or decoration (fabrics, wood, cardboard, artificial plants) are often combustible and represent a major risk. At Alfaflor, experts since 1984, we supply the products and the method for your installation and we deliver with every order the compliance file: the classification test report, the instructions for use and the application declaration to be completed by the applying company.

Get your fire-retardant treatment classification test report to validate your stand opening
Fire treatment for your stand is not an option; it is required by French law and safety commissions. This requirement aims to prevent the rapid spread of flames. Regulations require the use of materials with a fire rating, generally the M1 standard (M1-classified materials).
To be compliant, every installation must be able to present an official document (fire-retardant treatment classification test report) proving that each material has received adequate treatment. You can buy our ready-to-use solutions for immediate compliance.
Choose the right fire retardant product for your materials
An exhibition stand is rarely made from a single material. Identifying combustible supports and choosing the right container of fire retardant is the most important step. Here are the solutions to achieve the M1 fire rating on your main surfaces:
Protect your textiles with M1 fabric fire retardant
Decorative fabrics (velvet, sheer curtains, drapes) are the primary culprits for rapid fire spread. It is imperative to use a liquid flame retardant that penetrates the fiber without altering the aesthetics.

Bring your decor up to standard with cardboard fire retardant
Cardboard is prized for its flexibility, but its combustible nature requires rigorous treatment. The only way to use this material legally is to proceed with its fire-retardant treatment. To transform your supports, simply equip yourself with a specific spray or applicator.

Secure your structures with wood fire retardant
Whether it involves raw or painted wood, the M1 rating is essential for your structures and podiums:
- For raw wood: Using EUROMASSIF BOIS is the simplest solution. This product, which is easy to apply by spray, guarantees compliance.
- For painted wood: An intumescent varnish system is necessary. It reacts to heat by swelling to isolate the wood from the fire.

Secure your atmosphere with artificial plant fire retardant
Green walls are often highly combustible. To guarantee safety, these elements must also undergo specific spraying.
