ASTM E1353 Flame Retardance Test of components of upholstered furniture

ASTM E1353-08a Standard Method of Test for Cigarette ignition resistance of components of upholstered furniture


ASTM E1353-08a Flame Retardance Test of components of upholstered furniture – Standard Brief：

        These test methods are designed for the assessment of the resistance of upholstered furniture component assemblies to combustion after exposure to smoldering cigarettes under specified conditions.

 
ASTM E1353-08a Flame Retardance Test of components of upholstered furniture –Material under products scope:

          The tests apply to upholstered furniture components – cover fabrics, interior fabrics, welt cords, decking materials, barrier materials, and filling or padding materials including but not limited to: battings of natural or man-made fibers, foamed or cellular filling materials, resilient pads of natural or man-made fibers, and loose particulate filling materials (such as shredded polyurethane or feathers and down).


       ASTM E1353-08a Flame Retardance Test of components of upholstered furniture – Test Method：

          The individual test methods and the materials to which they apply are as follows:
                  Cover Fabric Test - Applies to outer cover fabrics

    Interior Fabric Test - Applies to interior fabrics used in intimate contact with outer fabrics

    Welt Cord Test - Applies to welt cord

Filling/Padding Component Test - Applies to resilient materials used under the cover fabric in seats or in inside vertical walls (inside arm and inside backs)

    Decking Materials Test - Applies to resilient materials used in the deck under loose cushions

    Barrier Materials Test - Applies to materials that are intended to serve as a barrier between cover fabric and conventional polyurethane foam
