  1. Check the appropriate Rule / Ban / Standard / Regulation(s) that applies to that Style/VPN. Fill in the City and Country where testing occurred. Fill in the Month/Day/Year the test report was issued
  2. The test report will indicate which Rule / Ban / Standard / Regulation (s) apply to this Style/VPN.
  3. If fabric is exempt from flammability testing under FFA then indicate 'exempt' in the location of test and leave the date of test blank.
  1. Identification of third-party laboratory on whose testing the certificate depends, including name, full mailing address and telephone number of the lab.
