London -- Flow charts outlining the UK Department for Business, Innovations and Skills' (BIS) proposed changes to furniture safety standards have been released.
The charts were presented at the August consultation meeting by Steve Owen, laboratory manager at Intertek Ltd - which worked with BIS on the proposal documents, as UTECH-polyurethane.com previously reported. BIS later supplied the charts to attendees.
Here are links to the three charts:
