Does Your Safety Net Comply With the Latest EU Safety Rules?

With the full implementation of the latest EU Building Products Regulation (CPR EU 2024/3110), previous fire safety declarations and basic flame retardant labels will no longer pass on-site inspections. Local building authorities and general contractors across Europe are now requiring certification of compliance with EN 13501-1 standards, particularly B-s1 and d0 grades.

So, what does this standard represent? We will explain in detail below.

EN 13501-1 Standard Explained

Unlike previous flame tests, the EN 13501-1 standard rates three key performance characteristics based on actual combustion situations:

1. Class B / C  (premium flame retardant): Scaffolding netting and construction dust control netting resist ignition and limit the spread of flames on the building.

2. s1 / s2 (Smoke toxicity and concentration): The material produces very little or moderate smoke, ensuring that workers can clearly see emergency exits.

3. d0 (No burning drips): No burning drips/particles fall within 600 seconds of testing.

What Compliance Information do Buyers Need to Know?

Complete documentation is required for goods to pass through European customs smoothly. To avoid goods being held up at the port or rejected by management, you will need your fire safety net supplier to provide the following information before placing an order:

• CE Marking & DoPC: A clear Declaration of Performance and Conformity issued under European testing standards.

• Digital Tracking: A quick QR code link on the packaging connecting directly to the batch test reports.

• REACH Compliance: Proof that the flame-retardant additives are halogen-free and safe for environment regulations.
