LOFAssured initiative gains strength across the garden furniture industry with 14 members already certified
 

LOFA's "LOFAssured" initiative  ensures that all cushions sold by members comply with current government fire safety regulations.

LOFA is raising awareness of fire safety standards/regulations for garden furniture cushions in this young campaign and, already, fourteen members are certified with 24 in progress and soon to be completed.

Certified members are -

A Mir & Co - www.a-mir.co.uk

Europa Leisure - www.europaleisure.co.uk

One of the conditions of LOFA membership is that members must adhere to a code of conduct, part of which is compliance with all current legislation; it is this culture of propriety that the retailer and customer buy into when they source product from LOFA members. LOFAssured is a distinguishing factor setting LOFA products apart from other non-compliant suppliers. LOFA appointed FIRA (Furniture Industry Research Association) and entered into a Primary Authority Partnership with HertfordshireTrading Standards to aid the members in their quest for full compliance.
