The majority of hospitality businesses in Ireland (through no fault of their own) order the incorrect type of Mattress for the environment the products are being installed into.
The most common subject is CRIB5 (also known as ( Ignition Source 5) products.

What makes a product legally compliant?
If you are looking to install or replace a mattress or fabric bed for commercial use, the product must comply to the specific fire regulations comprising of the following tests:
- BS EN597-1 (Cigarette)
- BS EN597-2 (match test)
- BS7177 – CRIB5
Fire Services Act 1981 & 2003
* While the “duty of care” in respect to fire safety in buildings rests with the owner/occupier under the Fire Service Act, 1981, the fire authorities have various powers of inspection and enforcement for fire prevention/safety measures in existing buildings
Who is accountable for fire safety?
You are accountable for fire safety, if you’re the owner, an employer, an occupier, the landlord, or anyone with control of the vicinity for instance a building or facilities manager, managing agent etc. Failure to use a product that does not meet the minimum requirements could lead to prosecution in the event of a fire and invalidate your insurance.
