Companies that treat or manufacture yardage goods may print their name, or the name of their fabric if registered, on the selvage (at least once every three yards) instead of affixing the label or tag as above. Combustible materials of 3/8” or more in thickness or glass cloth may be used without flame retardant treatment. Plywood which is ¼” or over is not required to be treated by flame retardant material. Oilcloth, tar paper, sisal paper, nylon and certain other plastic materials cannot be made flame retardant and their use is prohibited. Table coverings must be flame retardant unless they lie flat with an overhang no greater than 6”.
