Does your sheeps wool insulation have a fire rating?

Thermafleece CosyWool passes the BE EN 11925 Ignitability test and has a Class E Euroclass rating as is the case for other natural fibre insulation. BS EN 11925 involves applying a flame source to the bottom edge of the insulation and ensuring the flame does not spread beyond 150mm above the original flame tip. The test is repeated 6 times with the product passing only if all 6 tests meet the standard. A degree of flaming is allowed in the test. It is possible if you put a flame to CosyWool it may support a flame for a few seconds but the flame will self-extinguish.
In addition to the Euroclass test, Thermafleece CosyWool passes the British Standard test for smoulder resistance and spread of flame. This standard also requires that combustion is limited to a specific small area and that combustion is not sustained.
