Furniture - Assessment of the ignitability of upholstered furniture - Part 2: Ignition source: Match flame equivalent (ISO 8191-2:1988 modified) EN 1021-2:1993

Publication date:   Mar 19, 2004

Scope

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 subject to a small flame as ignition source. The tests measure 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.
