Are executive chairs subject to fire code requirements?

In some jurisdictions and building types (especially high-rise commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, and certain public buildings), upholstered seating must meet specific fire and smoke requirements. California Technical Bulletin 133 (CAL 133) is the most stringent common U.S. standard for upholstered seating in public occupancies. Other standards include CAL 117 and NFPA requirements. When purchasing executive chairs for commercial spaces — especially in California or for healthcare settings — confirm the upholstery and foam meet the applicable standard. Ask your building manager or facilities director if specific compliance is required. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960 to discuss compliance requirements for specific models.
