California Title 19 Fire Retardant Code
As your partner, we are sharing information on the California Title 19 FR Code.
Title 19 is an existing California State FR requirement that is not new, and until recently, was rarely enforced. Within the past several months we have experienced a higher level of regulatory oversight for Title 19, which is the reason for this communication.
What does this mean?
The state of California has increased their visibility and enforcement of the Title 19 Fire Code Regulations. Title 19 affects decorative fabrics supplied for window treatments (both interior and exterior), as well as draperies and roller shades in public areas. This includes but is not limited to: restaurants, ballrooms, lobbies, meeting rooms, and areas that accommodate occupancy levels over 50. The regulation requires proof of flame-retardant material, as well as the California State Fire Marshal's Seal on finished draperies.
What does this mean for you and your projects?
The material or fabric used for draperies or roller shades in public areas shall be of flame retardant material or treated with flame retardant solution. Fabrics must be tested and registered with the Office of the California State Fire Marshal. This requires an application process which most of your fabric suppliers should be familiar with, as well as a passing test result to meet CA Bulletin 1237.
What should you expect from Valley Forge and your other fabric manufacturers?
Fabric suppliers are defined as “Manufacturers” who market a flame-retardant fabric or material for use as draperies and/or roller shades. Manufacturers are responsible for the fabric testing and registration process, and are also responsible for providing the applicable registration number to the Purchasing Agent and/or Fabricator.
What should you expect from CDI, A Valley Forge Company and your other fabricator/cut & sew/installation suppliers?
Fabricators/cut & sew/installation suppliers are responsible for coordinating receipt of the registration number, properly printing the approved California State Fire Marshal's Seal labels and attaching labels on the finished draperies/roller shades.
Valley Forge is currently working closely with the State of California Fire Marshal to better understand and develop best practices for Title 19 and the official FR application process. We expect to share additional details in the coming weeks.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or comments as this will start to affect your public area projects within the state of California.
Cord Safety
The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which reports directly to The President of the USA & Congress, is addressing the safety of CORD DRAWN window treatments in the USA.
When passed, the proposed regulation will go into effect in May 2023.
The regulation limits the length of cords used to move window treatments up/down or left/right to a length of maximum 8” and will affect manually operated CORD DRAWN roller shades, roman shades and draperies.
Valley Forge products will be in compliance with this new regulation and clients should expect any products not produced prior to the deadline date in May 2023 to change.
