Scope

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