Abstract
Continuing a review of the technical basis of the Flammable Fabrics Act, a group of about 45 plastic materials were comparatively tested by the flammability test of CS192-53 for "General Purpose Vinyl Film" and by the results obtained, use of the test method of CS191-53 for determining the flammability of both textile and plastic materials was recommended for the purposes of the Federal law.
