Test results that qualify a manufacturer as eligible to participate in the UFAC Make Life Safer program means that (1) the level of flame retardant chemicals found in the furniture is no more than those which would be found as an acknowledged trace contaminant, in this case judged as not to exceed 1,000 parts per million (ppm) or 0.1% and (2) that no FR chemicals have been added intentionally to the product or any of its component parts.
