Claims Halogenated Flame Retardant Free

Chemical exclusion

The source claims the product contains no halogenated flame retardant chemicals under some stated or unstated scope.

You might see it written as: HFR free · no flame retardants · flame retardant free · no halogenated flame retardants

Speaks to: Human health · Ecosystem health

High greenwash risk

Often stated without the evidence to back it up — verify before specifying.

Several HFRs appear on the LBC Red List; a current Declare label is strong support.

What backs it up

  • Chemical Exclusion Statement

    Must be at least: Manufacturer declared

    Check it states: Chemical Family, Scope, Threshold

    Flammability code compliance may still require other treatments — ask what replaced the HFRs.

  • Declare Label

    Must be at least: Programme operator

    Check it states: Declare Status, Valid Until
