We are delighted to announce Sileather's successful compliance with the rigorous M1 flame retardancy standard - a milestone reinforcing our commitment to safety and quality.
Understanding M1 Certification

The M1 classification represents one of Europe's most stringent flame resistance ratings, primarily used in France for building materials and furnishings. Materials achieving M1 certification demonstrate exceptional fire safety performance, with limited smoke emission and slow flame spread during combustion. This standard is particularly crucial for public spaces, transportation, and commercial interiors where fire safety regulations are paramount.
Why This Matters
Sileather's M1 certification validates its suitability for high-risk environments requiring premium fire-rated materials. Our vegan leather now offers:
- Reduced flame propagation speed (<15 cm/minute)
- Limited smoke density (flue gas opacity <50%)
- Non-combustible droplets during burning
- Compliance with NF D 32-074 and NF P 92-507 standards
Applications & Benefits
This achievement expands Sileather's applications to:
✓ Mass transit interiors (trains, buses)
✓ Healthcare facilities
✓ Hospitality installations
✓ Office partitions and contract furniture
For designers and manufacturers, this certification eliminates the need for additional flame-retardant treatments while maintaining Sileather's signature characteristics: abrasion resistance, easy maintenance, and premium aesthetics.
Commitment to Safety
Our recent third-party testing at [Lab Name/Institution] confirms Sileather's consistent performance under direct flame exposure. As fire safety regulations tighten globally, this certification positions Sileather as a responsible choice for projects prioritizing both design excellence and occupant protection.
