SATRA Technology has expanded its programme of free technical webinars to include more topics of interest to the furniture and floorcoverings sectors.
The webinars will be free of charge and will give the opportunity to hear about a topic and then for registrants to discuss further via a Q&A session. Registration is via SATRA’s website.
Currently-planned webinars include: 25 February 2021: An introduction to the Furniture & Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations. The UK’s legislation for the fire safety of domestic furniture is one of the most stringent and complex in the world. This session provides an introduction to the requirements of the regulations for manufacturers, retailers and importers.
10 March 2021: Furniture and the General Product Safety Regulations: The safety of most domestic furniture is governed by the General Product Safety Regulations.

12 May 2021: Flooring and the UKCA mark: The UK adopted its own flooring legislation on 1st January 2021 with the introduction of the new ‘United Kingdom Conformity Assessed’ (UKCA) mark, which will need to be placed on products as a means of showing conformance to UK requirements.
