This law section is about regulating the safety of certain clothing and fabric items. It states what is meant by 'article' - essentially anything made from natural or synthetic fibers, like clothes or drapes. A 'vendor' is someone who makes or sells these items.

An 'inflammable article' is defined as any such item that is extremely flammable, posing a fire or injury risk, as determined by the Fire Marshal. The goal is to prevent using highly flammable fibers in making these items to reduce fire hazards.

Due to a lack of specific existing tests, the Fire Marshal is responsible for researching these materials and developing suitable tests. This is crucial in preventing the dangers related to highly flammable fibers in everyday items.

In California, the State Fire Marshal and Deputy State Fire Marshals can enter any vendor's premises during business hours. This is to check if any flammable items are being made or sold there. They can also take a whole item or just samples to analyze them if needed.

This law states that any items or samples taken under a specific regulation will be tested by the Fire Marshal. The Fire Marshal is responsible for deciding whether these items are flammable based on a defined standard.

The State Fire Marshal is allowed to create rules about inflammable items to prevent fires and protect people and property. Any updates to these rules will be sent to vendors and trade groups that ask for them in writing.

If a vendor has flammable items that break the State Fire Marshal's rules, those items can be taken by the State Fire Marshal or their deputies. After they seize these items, they can destroy them at least 30 days after the seizure or 10 days after any legal proceedings end, whichever comes later.

If someone's property is taken by the State under specific regulations, they have 10 days to ask the State Fire Marshal to give it back, claiming it was wrongly taken. The Fire Marshal has 60 days to review the request and must inform the person of the decision. If the property was indeed wrongly taken, it could be ordered returned. However, this decision is final unless the person starts a legal case within 60 days to reclaim their property in a California court.

If a vendor intentionally breaks any rules set by the Fire Marshal about flammable items, they will be committing a misdemeanor, which is a criminal offense.

This law prohibits anyone from making, selling, exchanging, or attempting to sell or exchange eyeglass or sunglass frames made from cellulose nitrate or similar highly flammable materials.

The State Fire Marshal, with the help of the State Board of Fire Services, is responsible for setting fire safety standards for fabrics used in hospitals and nursing facilities, like gowns and bedding, to protect public safety. These rules apply to all areas except hospital operating rooms. The standards have been in effect since January 1, 1976, and not following these rules is considered a misdemeanor.
