This paper reviews the current position on flame retardant fabrics in the United Kingdom, with particular reference to the impact of the legislation on imported fabrics. The various test methods which are used to ensure conformance with the legislation, are also decribed. The principle techniques used to ensure conformance with this legislation are also briefly covered. The final section of this paper describes some of the work currently being undertaken at Bolton in the area of flame retardancy and discusses a novel approach to the flame retardancy of wool fabrics using a reactive phosphorus compound.
