A flame retardant blanket is not a fireproof blanket
BS 7175 is the British Standard test for how bedding behaves when it meets an ignition source. This blanket is made from flame retardant polyester fibres and the listing says it is tested to meet that standard. It does not give a Crib level or attach a test certificate, and it makes no claim that the blanket is fireproof. It is sold as a thermal blanket for warmth. It is not a kitchen fire blanket, so do not use it to smother a pan fire.
Where it gets used
The listing names homes, hotels, care facilities, dormitories, emergency shelters and camping trips, and says the material is breathable, lightweight and warm. It washes at low temperatures and dries quickly. The listing gives no size, weight or colour, so ring 01204 455755 for the blanket size before you order a box.
Other flame retardant bedding
For a stated size, see the flame retardant cellular blankets, 178 x 228cm. The flame retardant pillows and flame retardant duvets are listed to BS 7175 too, and the rest is in flame retardant and waterproof bedding.

FAQs
Is it a fireproof blanket?
No. It is flame retardant, tested to meet BS 7175, and sold as a thermal blanket for warmth.
Can I use it as a kitchen fire blanket?
Use a purpose-made kitchen fire blanket instead; this is a bed blanket.
What does BS 7175 mean?
BS 7175 is the British Standard test for how bedding behaves when it meets an ignition source. The listing says the blanket is tested to meet it.
Does it have a Crib level?
The listing gives no Crib level and attaches no certificate. If your fire risk assessor needs a Crib level or a test report, ring 01204 455755 and ask before you order. Do not assume a level that the listing does not state.
Can I wash it?
Yes, machine washable at low temperatures. Check the care label for the exact temperature.
How many blankets for a care home?
A single blanket, packs of 4 and 8, or boxes of 18, 36, 90 and 180, with no minimum order. A box of 18 or 36 covers a floor of a care home or a hostel, and the boxes of 90 and 180 suit emergency shelters.
