This European Standard specifies a test method to assess the ignitability of material combinations, such as
covers and fillings used in upholstered seating, when subjected to a smouldering cigarette as an 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.
NOTE Test specimens prepared from materials taken from furniture that has been used may give different results
to the same materials before use.
