Every maritime professional knows that upholstery, curtains etc. must comply with the ignitibility standard laid down in SOLAS’ FTP Code. Most of them are not aware that this Code also applies to all bedding components inside the cabin, including sheets, pillow cases and bed covers...
Scandia® has succeeded in developing a comfortable flame retardant pure cotton bedding range with a smooth surface that is pleasant for sleeping, and whose quality is miles away from the commonly-used stiff and sticky polyester.
If regular cotton bedding catches fire, the fire will propagate within seconds, and the consequences can be disastrous. Scandia’s cotton bedding does not even catch fire when a smouldering cigarette is left on it!
All Safety Bedding components comply with IMO, are SOLAS Wheelmark-approved, and certified by Germanischer Lloyd.
Good night!
