ISO 12952-2:2010
Scope
WARNING — This test relates only to the ignitability of materials under the particular conditions of
testing. It is not intended as a means of assessing the full potential fire hazard of the bedding item in
use. Particular attention is drawn to the possibility of ignition of lower parts of a bedding assembly
when using bedding items which are not themselves ignited. The performance of beds and mattresses
requires reference to testing and performance standards other than those described in this part of
ISO 12952.
This part of ISO 12952 specifies tests for assessing the ignitability of all bedding items when subjected to a
match-flame equivalent.
This part of ISO 12952 applies to bedding items, which can normally be placed on a mattress, for example:
- mattress covers;
- underlays;
- incontinence sheets and pads;
- sheets;
- blankets;
- electric blankets;
- quilts (duvets) and covers;
- pillows (whatever the filling) and bolsters;
- pillowcases.
This part of ISO 12952 does not apply to mattresses, bed bases and mattress pads.
