Furniture
All furniture and furnishings provided as part of a rental agreement have to comply with basic fire resistance standards.
Furniture that meets these regulations will have a permanent safety label attached that clearly states that the furniture complies with the 1988 regulations and has passed flammability tests - so look out for these labels on sofas, chairs, cushions, nursery and bedroom furniture.
If you are concerned, get in touch with the Trading Standards Department of Bristol City Council on 0117 922 3604 (Mon - Thurs 9am-4:30pm and Friday 9am-4pm). Alternatively, go via the mainswitch board on 0117 922 2000.
