Fire Codes
cSee page 517 for uphol-
stery fabrics available for
use with FCS modification.
Steelcase offers Fire Code
Seating modification (FCS)
on some seating models.
The most rigorous fire codes
in the nation have been
developed in California, and
the Steelcase FCS modifi-
cation is designed to meet
those codes. Fire Code
Seating (FCS) indicates that
a product is constructed
to meet the strict fire code
requirements of high public
occupancy areas such as
theaters, meeting rooms,
and lobbies. The FCS
standards will meet the
State of California Bureau
of Electronic and Appliance
Repair, Home Furnishings,
and Thermal Insulation
Technical Bulletin 133 (Cal
TB 133). Boston adopted
the California Bureau of
Electronic and Appliance
Repair, Home Furnishings,
and Thermal Insulation
Technical Bulletin TB 133
test standard in 1992.
Local codes may have
special requirements for
upholstery.

Programs &
Services
cSee the Surface Materials
Reference Manual for further
detail about programs and
services offered for seating.
The Customer’s Own
Material (COM) Program
offers the opportunity for cus-
tomers to select fabrics that
are not offered through the
standard Steelcase surface
materials program for use on
Steelcase products. Through
the COM program, Steelcase
will test your materials for
application on Steelcase
products. Once approved,
you can place your order.
Steelcase will facilitate the
entire ordering process and
give you a production sched-
ule. Steelcase will order the
COM fabric directly from
the textile manufacturer.
For up-to-date information
regarding fabric test results
for all COM fabrics and
details regarding yardage
requirements for most
Seating lines, visit the COM
website. To locate the COM
