Combining a State Law Label and The TB117‐2013 SB1019 Label
Note: Labels are not to scale
IABFLO has agreed that the state law label and the TB117‐2013 SB1019 flammability label may be printed on the same
piece of material, provided that they are separated by a bold, black line. All forma ng requirements s ll apply.
The two labels may be arranged either side‐by‐side or one above the other. If the labels are printed side‐by‐side, then
the state law label must go on the le and the TB117‐2013 SB1019 label on the right, separated by a ver cal, bold,
black line. If the labels are printed one above the other, then the state law label must go on top and the TB117‐2013
SB1019 label on the bo om, separated by a horizontal, bold, black line. The choice is a company’s to make.
Both scenarios are illustrated below:
