<p> </p><p>For the past ten months, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills
has been discussing with industry, enforcement authorities and the fire services,
a proposal to bring forward changes to the match and cigarette tests in the Furniture
and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988. We believe this would bring benefits
to both businesses and consumers by reducing the levels of potentially harmful flame
retardant chemicals generally used to meet the requirements of the match test, while
also improving fire safety. Any such changes would be subject to formal public consultation.</p><p>
