- Abstract
- As recognition of the urgency of the flammable fabrics problem, the Flammable Fabrics Act of 1953 was amended in 1967 to include all items of wearing apparel and interior furnishings. In order to facilitate research and assist in the development of new standards and test methods in these areas, a series of bibliographies is being prepared by the NBS Office of Flammable Fabrics in Cooperation with the NBS Library. The first three bibliographies, on warning apparel, fabrics used on beds, and carpets and rugs, were published in NBS Technical Note 498. This one is on interior furnishings. It includes all of the references on bed fabrics and carpets and rugs that appreared in TN 498, along with those on upholstered furniture, draperies, curtains, and materials that are used in interior furnishings.
