Fire & Safety Certifications
OrangePiel's fire safety certifications including NFPA 701, California Title 19, and flame resistance testing for commercial installations.
Fire & Safety Certifications
OrangePiel fabrics meet the strictest fire safety standards required for commercial, hospitality, and institutional installations. All our window treatment fabrics are tested and certified to the following standards.
NFPA 701 Certification
All OrangePiel shade fabrics pass NFPA 701 (Standard Methods of Fire Tests for Flame Propagation of Textiles and Films), the industry standard for fabric used in commercial and public spaces. This certification is required by most building codes for window treatments in hotels, hospitals, schools, offices, and public buildings.
NFPA 701 testing evaluates both flame propagation and dripping behavior, ensuring fabrics self-extinguish when exposed to flame and do not produce dangerous dripping material.
California Title 19
Our fabrics meet California Title 19 fire safety requirements, which are among the most stringent in the United States. California Title 19 Section 1237 governs flame resistance of draperies, curtains, and window treatments used in public spaces and multi-family residential buildings.
Documentation & Compliance
We provide fire test certificates and letters of certification for every fabric in our product line. These documents are available upon request and can be included in your project's submittal package for code review and building department approvals.
For architects and specifiers, our submittal package includes fire test certificates, fabric specifications, and installation details formatted for CSI MasterFormat specifications.
Fire-certification questions, answered
What is NFPA 701?
NFPA 701 is the National Fire Protection Association's flame-propagation test for textiles used in public and commercial interiors — the standard building inspectors ask about for window treatments. All OrangePiel shade and acoustic fabrics pass NFPA 701, and the test certificate is downloadable from Trade Downloads for permit and specification packages.
What does ASTM E84 Class A mean for acoustic panels?
ASTM E84 measures surface burning behavior: a flame-spread index (FSI) and a smoke-developed index (SDI). Class A — FSI ≤ 25, SDI ≤ 450 — is the strictest classification and the IBC Chapter 8 requirement for most commercial occupancies. OrangePiel printed acoustic panels and acoustic murals are Class A per ASTM E84; the full test report ships with trade spec packages.
Which certificate does my project need?
Window treatments: NFPA 701. Wall-mounted acoustic panels and murals in commercial occupancies: ASTM E84 Class A. Schools, healthcare, and LEED or WELL projects usually also require UL GREENGUARD Gold for indoor air quality. All three certificates are downloadable as PDFs from the Trade Downloads page, and our team assembles per-project compliance packets on request.
