Fires are sometimes caused by the ignition of bedding items by smokers' materials.
The ignitability of bedding items by a smouldering cigarette or a small open flame is therefore an important feature in the assessment of the risk of fire. It cannot be assumed that protection against a smouldering ignition source will automatically give protection against flaming ignition.
Users of this standard should therefore submit test specimens to both cigarette and flaming ignition tests. ISO describes test methods with a smouldering cigarette as the ignition source.
ISO contains the testing with a small open flame as the ignition source. This standard can be used for the assessment of ignitability of individual items of bedding and of composite arrangements.
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. Depending on the design of beds and mattresses, a reference to test and performance requirements other than those described in this part of ISO is necessary.
This part of ISO specifies test methods for assessing the ignitability of bedding items when subjected to a smouldering cigarette.
This part of ISO 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.
BS EN ISO specifies a general test method common to all bedding items, for assessment of their ignitability when subjected to a small open flame. A specific test method for bedding items, which can normally be placed on a mattress, for example:. This standard does not apply to mattresses, bed-bases and mattress pads. Light the propane emerging from the burner tube, adjust the gas flow to the rate and allow the flow to stabilize for at least s. Place the ignition source in the prescribed position.
Leave the ignition source in position for 15 s, then remove it from the test specimen. Observe the specimen for any evidence of progressive smouldering ignition or flaming ignition. If progressive smouldering or flaming ignition of the test specimen is observed, extinguish the test specimen, note the time the test was stopped and the reason, record that ignition had occurred and discontinue testing. If flaming ignition of the test specimen is not observed, repeat the test at a fresh position.
