NFD60-013  Ignitability test to seat - Introduction

Flammability requirements for seating in France

In the French regulations for public buildings ERP, some changes have occurred for building interiors (Aménagements Intérieurs AM). Under Article AM18, the French M tests for seats in cinemas have been replaced by NF D60-013 of June 2006 (Protocol for evaluating the ignitability of upholstered seating – Ignition source equivalent to a burning 20 gram paper cushion – covers and upholstery). The burner is a smaller Belfagor burner. This standard is based on the EN 1021-3 draft, which was finally not adopted as a European standard.
