The short answer
Yes, artificial greenery can be fire-safe.
Our fire-retardant planting has been tested to EN 13501-1 and achieves Euroclass B-s2,d0. Which requirement applies to your building is determined with your fire safety consultant or the local authority. We provide the proof: with every delivery, you receive the certificate in the name of your project.
B
Very limited contribution to fireOnly (virtually) non-combustible materials score higher: A1 and A2.
s2
Smoke productionThe smoke class ranges from s1 to s3.
d0
No burning dropletsNo burning droplets or falling parts: the strictest droplet class.
The Euroclasses
This is how B compares to the rest.
EN 13501-1 divides construction products into seven classes, from A1 to F. The higher the class, the smaller the contribution to a fire.
- A1No contribution to fire
- A2Virtually no contribution to fire
- BVery limited contribution to fireOur fire-retardant planting
- CLimited contribution to fire
- DAcceptable contribution to fire
- EAcceptable fire behaviour with a small flame
- FNot tested or not classified

Tested and certified
Our fire classifications.
Class B1
The German standard for the fire behaviour of construction materials, for the fire-retardant leaf material of our artificial plants.
Cigarette and flame
Tested for ignitability by a smouldering cigarette and a flame (equivalent to a match).

By situation
What applies where?
The fire safety requirements depend on the application. Choose your situation.
01 / 05
Construction material or decoration?
The fire safety requirements for products depend on the application. Artificial plants are usually seen as decoration and sometimes as construction material. In the latter case, the requirements are set out in the applicable standard: NEN-EN 13501-1 (2019), Fire classification of construction products and building elements – Part 1: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests. See the website of NEN.

Buildings
If you use a building or own one, fire safety is your responsibility. National rules apply to the fire safety of buildings. Among other things, you must:
- – prevent a fire from spreading;
- – be able to detect a fire in time with smoke detectors and fire alarm systems;
- – have an evacuation plan and escape routes;
- – be able to fight fire with sufficient, checked extinguishing equipment;
- – ensure your building is accessible to emergency services;
- – reduce the risk of fire spreading with fire-retardant materials.
So, by definition, the fire safety of buildings benefits from fire-retardant artificial plants.
03 / 05
Hospitality
As a hospitality business owner, you have to meet many requirements, including in fire safety. Your premises must be accessible to the fire brigade, you must have sufficient extinguishing water and enough certified fire alarms. The interior also has to meet certain requirements. Fire-retardant artificial plants are not only decorative and atmosphere-enhancing, they also make a valuable contribution to fire safety. The rules may vary by local authority, so always check which requirements apply to your business. Also read about artificial plants for hospitality.
04 / 05
Office
Fire safety in the office is an important point of attention. Does your office have sufficient escape routes? Are there enough fire alarm systems, and is your extinguishing equipment up to date? Of course you have thought about this. You can take it one step further: choose fire-retardant artificial plants. Our plant walls are not only atmosphere-enhancing; with fire-retardant artificial plants, you make your workplace even safer.

Trade fairs and events
Fire safety at a trade fair involves many points of attention because of its temporary nature. The building itself will of course already comply with the rules, such as emergency exits and escape routes. But every trade fair layout is different, and stands and display materials are made from different materials. Because a trade fair attracts many people, organisers need to think carefully about safety, including fire safety. Fire-retardant artificial plants help with that.
Because greenery has a positive and calming effect, it is a good idea anyway to decorative artificial plants to place at a trade fair, or to create the layout with green walls. This quickly transforms a trade fair venue into a beautiful, inviting place. The positive effect of greenery boosts sales, and its calming effect encourages potential customers and partners to stay longer. Green walls with sound-absorbing material also improve the acoustics. And what it means for safety that the artificial plants are fire-retardant speaks for itself!
Fire-retardant artificial plants at a trade fair are therefore an excellent investment, both commercially and for safety.

What does Euroclass B-s2,d0 mean?+

Are artificial plants building material or decoration?+
Artificial plants are usually seen as decoration and sometimes as building material. In the latter case, the requirements are set out in NEN-EN 13501-1. Which requirement applies to your building should be agreed with your fire safety adviser or the local authority.
Will I receive a certificate?+
Yes. The certificate is included with your delivery, in the name of your project and with the delivered items listed. This means the inspection can immediately see that it concerns these plants. Which classification belongs to which product is stated with the product in the webshop.
Are green façades also fire-retardant?+
Yes. The CoolPlantWall® outdoor for green façades is UV-resistant and fire-retardant, Euroclass B-s2,d0.
Which standards do you have?+
Euroclass B (B-s2,d0) according to EN 13501-1, DIN 4102-1 class B1 for the fire-retardant foliage material, and BS EN 1021-1 and -2 (smouldering cigarette and flame).
