UK - Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) (Amendment) Regulations 2025

This notification intends to alert Members to amendments to the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 (the FFRs).

The proposed draft statutory instrument will amend the FFRs in the following ways:

- Amend the scope of products to which the FFRs apply, notably exclude certain baby and children’s products from scope of the FFRs. A full list of products that will be excluded by the statutory instrument are provided in the notified document;

- Remove the requirement for manufacturers to affix a display label to new products; and 

- Extend the time frame for instituting legal proceedings from 6 – 12 months.

The amended regulations will apply UK-wide, as the current regulations do; for the protection of human health and safety.
