This review has two main objectives, to identify the current effectiveness of the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 (FFRs) and to assess what benefits can be ascribed to each of the tests, in particular the Crib 5 test. This was to enable the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) to establish if the additional stringency of the flammability requirements in the FFRs, above that of the European provisions, continue to be effective and necessary.
