I would like to start making my own paper lampshades to sell and although I have sourced suppliers for the lampshade frames and flame retardant backing, I cannot find any information on British safety standards or regulations, so I do not know if I need to use any special materials like flame retardant glue or tape, or if I need to show the maximum wattage for the shade and if so how to work this out?

Lampshade frame suppliers help
Dear Cat, did you really find lampshade frame suppliers? I have spent two evenings searching under every imaginable search word IN VAIN. Please could you share your findings
I always made my own, used to get the the frames from John Lewis in every shape and size. Suddenly they are absolutely nowhere to be found. By the way I spray the inside with flame retardent spray also from John Lewis.
thanks
