Do you all require documentation, when the carpet has to meet "DOC FF-1 "pill test” (CPSC 16 CFR Part 1630) or with ASTM D 2859 ",, showing it does meet the test???

Had a contractor show me from thier supplier that all carpet in the USA meets ""DOC FF-1 "pill test” (CPSC 16 CFR Part 1630) or with ASTM D 2859 """, without listing the carpet that was installed.
 
The link has a lot of info The carpet or invoice should have the info

Are there any requirements for labeling?

Yes, if the carpet or rug has had a fire-retardant treatment or is made of fibers that have had a fire-retardant treatment, it must be labeled with the letter T. The letter T should be legible and conspicuous on the label and/or invoice or other paper related to the carpet and rug, if commercially installed.

Small carpets and rugs not meeting the acceptance criterion of the standard must be permanently labeled with the following statement: FLAMMABLE (FAILS U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE STANDARD FF 2-70): SHOULD NOT BE USED NEAR SOURCES OF IGNITION.
