When inspecting decorative interior materials, you’re looking for evidence that the fabric or finish will resist ignition in real-use conditions, and for maintenance details that keep that protection effective over time. The label typically tells you whether the material is flame-resistant, the date the flame-retardant treatment was last applied, and the recommended interval for reapplication. This information is what you need at a glance to verify current compliance and to plan re-treatment so the material continues to meet fire code requirements. While other details—like the manufacturer’s name or exact test numbers—may appear on some labels, the essential, inspection-relevant data is the flame-resistance status plus the treatment date and reapplication guidance.
