Great question, and yes—our benches are fully compliant with the fire safety codes required for public transit areas. We understand that in spaces like train stations, bus terminals, and airport waiting zones, safety isn’t just a priority; it’s a non-negotiable standard.
Our benches are constructed using materials that meet or exceed key fire safety regulations, such as the ASTM E84 (Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials) and NFPA 130 (Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems). This means they have been tested for flame spread, smoke development, and overall combustibility, ensuring they perform reliably in high-traffic, enclosed environments.
We use specially formulated, flame-retardant foam and upholstery in our seating, paired with metal or treated wood frames that resist ignition. Our manufacturing process also includes rigorous third-party testing to verify compliance with local and international codes, including Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines for accessibility and safety.
Beyond code compliance, our benches are built for durability and easy maintenance—key factors for transit authorities that need long-lasting, safe seating solutions. Whether you're retrofitting an existing station or designing a new transit hub, we can provide certification documents and test reports upon request.
If you have specific fire code standards in mind (e.g., California TB 117 or European EN 1021), let us know—we can tailor our benches to meet those requirements as well. Safety is built into every seat we sell.
