The amendment removes the reference to TB 133 and its requirements under Section 1374 Title 4 of the California Code of Regulations. The removal of this requirement aligns this section with Section 1374 and establishes TB 117-2013 as the standard for furniture in publicly-occupied buildings. Section 1374.3 is also amended to remove the requirement to have labels on upholstered seating furniture for products meeting TB 133.

This is effective January 22, 2019.
