Fire cert curtains for a guesthouse. needed?

delaphonics

Hi All,

I am in the process of reopening a guesthouse that has been unused for several years. It needs redecorating. I am trying to find out what if the curtains need to have a fire cert or not. The building already has a valid fire cert so the fire brigade are happy. Our insurance broker doesn't seem concerned with a fire cert fabric either, and finally, a local guesthouse said they don't bother. So my question is; is there a regulation that states it must be fire certed and who enforces it?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

just find out the fire rating of what your proposing and ask your local fire officer.
