Public Consultation: Irish Furniture Fire Regulations

11/07/2025 Post Brexit, we believe it is timely to examine this area of regulation (which is based on UK standards) and align with EU methodology. We, at VOICE, call for the department to follow option 2 as outlined in the call; Repeal the Irish Furniture Fire Regulations, and Rely on the General Product Safety Regulation. We do this for three reasons; a)more sustainable design, b) reduces conflicting regs and c) due to the adverse effects, and questionable effectiveness of many of the existing flame retardants and testing regime used in the UK.
