Church Chair Fire Ratings: What Your Church Should Verify

Fire and flammability requirements are an important part of choosing church seating.

Before ordering chairs, your church should confirm the requirements that apply to your building and jurisdiction. Product standards, upholstery materials, and local code requirements can vary, so this is not an area to guess.

START WITH YOUR LOCAL REQUIREMENTS

Your local fire marshal, building official, or other authority having jurisdiction can tell you what standards apply to your facility. Ask before placing a large order—especially for sanctuary, assembly, or multipurpose seating.

Ask the manufacturer for documentation on the chair’s applicable flammability testing and materials.
Confirm the requirement locally rather than assuming a standard used elsewhere applies to your church.
Keep documentation with your project records in case it is needed later.
