Safety, Installation & Compliance

Safety & Compliance

Clear guidance. Responsible recommendations. Nothing extra.

At Audio iQ, we work exclusively with trusted manufacturers and products that meet established safety, performance, and quality standards. Our goal is to help you make confident decisions while respecting local regulations, building codes, and best-practice installation guidelines.

Product Safety Overview

Many acoustic treatment products—particularly foam-based solutions—are manufactured with fire-retardant materials and tested under industry-recognized standards.

However, safety requirements and building regulations can vary by location, use case, and installation environment.

For that reason:

  • We provide general safety and installation guidance

  • We reference manufacturer-verified specifications where applicable

  • We encourage customers to confirm local requirements before installation

Installation Guidance

Acoustic products are typically designed for surface mounting using adhesives, tabs, or mechanical fasteners approved by the manufacturer.

For best results:

  • Follow the manufacturer’s recommended installation method

  • Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and structurally suitable

  • Avoid installing near open flames or heat sources unless explicitly rated for that environment

  • Manufacturer specifications and local regulations may vary by location and application.

When applicable, manufacturer installation instructions are referenced directly on individual product pages.

Fire Ratings & Compliance

Many products we carry are tested for fire performance under standards such as ASTM E84 or equivalent industry benchmarks.

Please note:

  • Fire ratings may differ by product, batch, or intended use

  • Some products are suitable for residential use but may require additional approval for commercial spaces

  • Local building codes may impose stricter requirements than manufacturer testing alone

For commercial installations or regulated environments, we recommend confirming compliance with a local inspector, fire marshal, or building authority.

Audio iQ partners with established manufacturers who provide:

  • Verified product specifications

  • Installation instructions
