ISO 12863:2010 PDF

Scope: WARNING — This International Standard involves the use of combustible materials that are exposed to ignition sources. The burning materials emit toxic combustion products. The user shall take proper precautions to avoid thermal injury and inhalation of combustion products. The user shall ensure that all burning has ceased before safely discarding test materials. This International Standard provides a standard assessment of the capability of a cigarette, positioned on one of three standard substrates, to extinguish or to generate sufficient heat to continue burning, and thus potentially cause ignition of bedding or upholstered furniture. This International Standard is applicable to factory-made cigarettes that burn along the length of a tobacco column. This is a performance-based standard; it does not prescribe any design features of the cigarette that might lead to improved or degraded performance in the test method. The output of this method has been correlated with the potential for cigarettes to ignite upholstered furniture.
