National Furniture Association Fire Service / Burn Foundation (René Hagen, Ricardo Weewer, Rob Baardse) ManufacturersMinistry of Housing Ministry of Health National Employers Association (VNO-NCW)

Position of organisations  Fire Service Academy Nibra (NIFV)  Fire Service Amsterdam-Amstelland  Burn Foundation  National Fire Service Association (NVBR)  Ministries of Interior, Housing and Health  National Furniture Association (CBM)  National Employers Association (VNO-NCW)  Manufacturers  Greenpeace

Position of organisations  Fire Service Academy Nibra (NIFV)  Fire Service Amsterdam-Amstelland  Burn Foundation Driving forces of the subject in The Netherlands

Position of organisations  National Fire Service Association (NVBR) Did not pay attention to the subject until the Delft burn test and video in July Since the TV show of January 2010, shows strong support for fire safe upholstered furniture; pushes media coverage and attracts the attention of the government.

Position of organisations  Ministries of Interior, Housing and Health All three ministries see the benefits and needs for fire safe upholstered furniture, but do not want to follow any policy other than the EC one regarding flame retardants. The ministry of Interior is the coordinator of this topic for the three ministries.

Position of organisations  National Furniture Association (CBM) They claimed to work on three tracks; first movers (furniture manufacturers), dialogue with chemical branch about alternatives, pressure on the government on regulations for fire safe upholstered furniture.

Position of organisations  National Employers Association (VNO-NCW) A new but very powerful and therefore important player in this field who is very keen on cost-benefit analyses for fire safety measurements such as domestic sprinklers, smoke detectors and upholstered furniture. A dialogue with them is now starting.

Position of organisations  Greenpeace Greenpeace stated that they are not against flame retardants in general, but only against some flame retardants. They stated that flame retardants in upholstered furniture is important for fire safety

Position of organisations  Manufacturers There are now some ‘first movers’ who are producing fire safe upholstered furniture and using it as a selling point.
