cigarette testing compliance

[stump28]

Hi, I've followed a few questions on this forum now and seems a really good source of information. I have a question I hope I can get some info for regarding cigarette testing and match test exempt fabrics. If I'm using a 100% cotton or other exempt fabric with a fire resistant interliner do I still need to send samples/fabric to be tested? If the interliner is manufacturer tested do the exempt fabrics need to be tested regardless? I'll be covering chairs mainly on a one off basis in terms of fabric choice so would I need to send for testing every time I use a new fabric?

I seem to be able to find information regarding requirements for interliners and ratings etc but not much on the actual practical steps of getting things compliant
