- Abstract
- This Part of the standard lays down a test method to assess the ignitability of material combinations, such as covers and fillings used in upholstered seating, when subjected to a smoldering cigarette as an ignition source. The test measures only the ignitability of combination of materials used in upholstered seating and not the ignitabiity of a particular finished item of furniture incorporating these materials. They give an indication of, but cannot guarantee, the ignition behavior of the finished item of furniture.
