NFPA 260 Fire test to components of upholstered furniture

 

       NFPA 260 Standard Methods of Tests and Classification System for Cigarette Ignition Resistance of Components of Upholstered Furniture

 

 

       The tests described in this document apply to upholstered furniture components that are tested in a standard, defined composite.

 

       These tests shall apply to cover fabrics, interior fabrics, welt cords, decking materials, barrier materials, and filling/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 foam or feathers and down.

 

 

       These test methods are designed to evaluate ignition resistance of upholstered furniture when exposed to smoldering cigarettes under specified confitions. 

 

       This standard establishes a classification system for determining the resistance of upholstered furniture components to cigarette ignition.

 

       T: 21±2.8ºC, H: less than 65%  at least 4h
