Business CRIB 5 Regulations

CRIB 5 REGULATIONS

As a company we aim to provide you with all the information you may require to make the correct purchase for your needs.

It's surprising the number of businesses who order incorrect products for the environment in which it is being used.

The most common subject is CRIB 5 (also known as Source5) products. 

You (the customer) order from us what you have been asked to order. You may not be aware of the regulations regarding Fire Safety when it comes to mattresses and mattress covers made with fabric, so we hope the following guide is useful.

Do you need Crib 5?

If you’re involved in purchasing for the following sectors, the simple answer is YES – your furniture MUST meet Crib 5 (BS7177) standards for commercial use:

  • Offices & Commercial Settings

  • Retailers

  • Hotels

  • Bed & Breakfasts

  • Hostels & Guest Houses

  • Holiday Parks

  • Rental and Property Management (HMO’s)

  • Student Accommodation

What makes a product legally compliant?

If you are looking to order a mattress or fabric bed for commercial use, the product must comply to the specific UK Fire Regulations comprising of the following tests:

  • BS EN597-1 (Cigarette)

  • BS EN597-2 (Match)

  • BS7177 – CRIB 5

Please note that it is YOUR responsibility to determine if your products need to be CRIB 5 compliant. As we do not know where your products are being installed, we cannot be responsible for determining if the products need to be CRIB 5 compliant. We can only offer you advice & guidance.

If you’re unsure whether CRIB 5 is needed in addition to Cigarette & Match test for your project, contact the insurance company linked to your project, or the local Fire Officer, who can advise.

Please note that failure to use a product which does not meet the minimum requirements could lead to prosecution in the event of a fire and invalidate your insurance.

Our standard mattress covers ARE NOT CRIB 5 compliant, they are for domestic use only.

Our advice would be if you are unsure, always go for CRIB 5
