Fabric Certification & Testing

Fire Retardent Fire retardant (FR) fabric options are tested and approved for indoor use where municipal and federal code requires. In case of a building fire, flame retardant shade materials resist burning, allowing occupants more time to escape, and first responders additional time to clear the space and put out the f ire. Fire retardant fabric testing is defined by and complies with NFPA 701. Bacterial and Fungal Resistance SI offers anti-bacterial and anti-fungal fabric options that offer protection against bacteria, mold, mildew, and other hazardous microbes, and are tested in accordance with AST standards and guidelines. Antimicrobial fabrics are may be treated topically to inhibit the growth of pathogens, or by using yarns and materials which have inherent antimicrobial properties. Air Quality Understanding, and eliminating or controlling common pollutants will help mitigate the risk to occupants from air quality concerns. SI offers many shade fabrics with the GREENGUARD Certification and/ or RoHS Compliance certifications for low- or no-pollutant emmitance use in occupied spaces. Environmentally Responsible In addition to IAC testing and certifications, many fabrics carry Cradle to Cradle certifications. CtoC rated fabrics are assessed using the five critical performance categories of Material Health, Material Reutilization, Renewable Energy & Carbon Management, Water Stewardship, and Social Fairness
