In our ongoing pursuit of innovation and safety, ONE-DNA™️ artificial grass has reached another significant milestone by achieving two crucial fire safety classifications:
With a special product designed for events and indoor applications, we have achieved the highest BFL-S1 certification without infill sand and chemical additives, according to ISO 9239-1.
Proven Fire Safety
ONE-DNA™️ artificial grass has undergone rigorous testing according to the ISO 9239-1 standard, an international standard for determining the fire properties of floor coverings. This has resulted in the highest classification, with no chemical additives required to meet these standards.
Why Fire-Safe Artificial Grass?
Fire safety is critical in many applications, including trade shows, exhibitions, and public spaces. The risk of fire and its consequences, such as damage to reputation and personal injury, can be significantly reduced by using fire-retardant artificial grass.
Strict Fire Safety Requirements
Public buildings and events are subject to strict fire safety requirements for materials. This also applies to artificial grass in indoor areas of public buildings, offices, and businesses, as well as for use at events. Finding artificial grass that is both fire-safe and has a natural appearance is therefore of great importance.
Fire Safety of Artificial Grass
Safety plays a crucial role in choosing artificial grass. A common question is: is artificial grass flammable? In principle, artificial grass is not flammable. It is made of high-quality synthetic material that does not burn but can melt. Infill sand works as a fire retardant, making artificial grass safe for outdoor use. However, stricter fire safety requirements apply for events and public spaces.
Often, artificial grass must be filled with sand or chemically treated to achieve the BFL certification. Important to note: with ONE-DNA™️, we achieve this certification without infill and without chemicals.
Independent Testing and Certification
For use in events and public spaces, it is essential that artificial grass is independently tested to confirm that it has fire-retardant properties. A reliable way to ensure this is through fire certificates.
Fire Certificate for Artificial Grass
To assess the reaction of materials to fire, the Euroclass system is used, the European standard UNE EN 13501-1. This method classifies materials based on their fire behavior. For indoor use, the stringent European standards require a CFL rating, which means that the material may have a very limited contribution to a fire.
