Pursuant to CA AB 2998, enacted in 2018, California law requires ISPA to survey which flame-retardant (FR) materials mattress manufacturers use to meet 16 CFR 1633. Mattress manufacturers that are based in California are required to complete this survey. The law also requires that ISPA identify to the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services (BHGS) the names of all California-based mattress manufacturers that do not complete the FR Survey.  Affected companies must fill out and return the survey by December 17th. If you need additional time or information, please reach out to the contacts below.  

Background: In 2018, California enacted FR chemical bans for many consumer products. ISPA negotiated important exclusions for adult mattresses, but the law requires ISPA to survey the mattress industry every three years regarding the materials it uses to meet 16 CFR 1633. ISPA, working with Vault Consulting, completed two of these surveys and submitted the reports to BHGS in 2020 and 2023. The next report is due January 31, 2026. 

ISPA has again retained Vault Consulting to collect and tabulate data from individual companies. To protect the confidentiality of member information, Vault may not disclose collected data to ISPA staff or any other party and may only release aggregate data to ISPA for use in the California report.

Please contact Alison Keane, ISPA President, at 571-482-5460 with any questions you may have about the program. If you have questions about submitting data or confidentiality concerns, please contact Silvia Dreher – Vault Consulting at [email protected]. 

On behalf of ISPA, we thank you in advance for your time.
