Do guest chairs need to meet fire codes?

Yes. In California, all upholstered seating sold for commercial use must meet TB117-2013 for foam fire resistance. Public buildings in many jurisdictions require TB133 (full-scale ignition test) for upholstered furniture. Federal and state buildings have their own specifications. When purchasing for commercial facilities, confirm that the chairs meet the applicable fire standard for your state and building occupancy type.
