FR-ONE FIRE RETARDANT FABRICS

DESIGNING FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR CUSTOMERS

We are dedicated to putting consumer safety and environmental responsibility at the heart of textile manufacturing, to creating safe fabrics that contain no harmful substances. All FR-One inherently fire retardant fabrics are STANDARD 100 certified from the OEKO-TEX® institute. They also comply strictly with the REACH regulation as passed by the European Union.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH STANDARDS

Concerns about sustainability and the impact of plastics have led to an increased demand for ecologically sound fabrics. Environmental awareness is at an all-time high thanks to ongoing scientific research coupled with the explosion of climate change coverage in the media.

Because of all of these factors, all FR-One fabrics meet very high standards.

Let’s look at what our three main standards of excellence are: the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, the EU’s REACH regulation, and our ISO 9001 certification.   

THE OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 

Since 1992, STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® has been a globally standardised, independent mark of quality for raw, semi-finished and finished textile products from all stages of production and for all accessory materials used in the process.

This global certification system assures manufacturers, sourcers, brands, retailers, and consumers around the world that certified products meet the strict limit values for harmful substances of STANDARD 100 and that these substances are not present in critical concentrations. OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 covers a wide array of several hundred harmful substances.

THE REACH REGULATION AND FR-ONE FABRICS

All FR-One fabrics also comply with REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals), a regulation of the European Union that was adopted in 2007 to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals.

An offshoot of the REACH regulation is that it also ardently promotes alternative methods for assessing chemical hazards in order to reduce the number of tests on animals.

 

 

 

ISO: INTERNATIONAL STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE

FR-One is an ISO 9001 certified organization, which means that we will always ensure that our products and services consistently meet our customers’ requirements, and that quality is consistently improved.

We are constantly campaigning to encourage our suppliers to reach ISO 14001 certification, guaranteeing accountable environmental responsibility. 

SUSTAINABILITY AS A WAY OF LIFE

We’re excited to announce that our 2020 fabric range will feature a lot of environmental-friendly collections which contain recycled polyester yarns. Stay tuned, for more!

Also, as part of our commitment to sustainability, we have created our very own FR-One forest of 6,700 trees in an area close to our office space, as part of our own unique approach to helping the environment.
