Are there fire or safety codes that apply to reception desks?

Commercial reception desks in office environments typically need to comply with ANSI/BIFMA X5.5 for surface flammability. In some jurisdictions, California Technical Bulletin 133 applies to any upholstered components. The desk itself (laminate on panel substrate) is generally low-flammability and meets most commercial codes without additional treatment. In healthcare and government buildings, verify specific local fire codes before ordering. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries BIFMA-compliant commercial reception desks — call 888-719-4960.
