I'm planning on making a range of fabric household goods to sell (aprons, laundry bags, bunting, etc).
Are there specific regulations I need to meet for the aprons? Would I be able to market them as craft/household aprons rather than specifically for cooking and avoid fire safety regs? Could I use a fire retardant spray to treat them - would that be an acceptable level of cover?
Thanks for any help - I'm a complete novice so all advice very welcome.

Fire retardant spray will wash out after several washes. In kitchens -in my opinion an apron is solely there to control infection and as long as its clean its ok

Only a partial answer (as this Standard isn't included in my subscription), but BS EN 1103:2005 'Textiles. Fabrics for apparel. Detailed procedure to determine the burning behaviour' sounds like the document you need to source.

No there are no specific regulations but be sure that they are made from material that is fit for purpose
