Training Tables — Expert Answer
Do training tables need to meet any fire or safety ratings?
In most commercial building applications, solid-surface training tables (no upholstered components) don't require special fire ratings because the core materials — particleboard, MDF, HPL laminate — don't contribute significantly to fire spread in a typical commercial fire scenario. However, some jurisdictions and building types (healthcare, federal buildings, high-occupancy assembly) may require NFPA 701 flame spread testing for table components or tablecloths. Upholstered training chairs often do require Cal TB 133 or NFPA 260/261 compliance. Check with your local fire marshal for jurisdiction-specific requirements.
