ASTM E1352 Flame Retardance Test of mock-up upholstered furniture
ASTM E1352-08a Flame Retardance Test of mock-up upholstered furniture - Standard Title:
ASTM E1352-08a Standard Method of Test for Cigarette ignition resistance of mock-up upholstered furniture assemblies
ASTM E1352-08a Flame Retardance Test of mock-up upholstered furniture - Significance and Use:
This test method is intended to measure the performance of upholstered furniture material assemblies under conditions of exposure to smoldering cigarettes. This is accomplished by testing furniture assemblies.
This test method is recommended for upholstered furniture used in facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, residential-custodial care and supervisory facilities, or in the public area of facilities such as educational, assembly, or residential occupancies.
This test method is not intended to measure the performance of upholstered furniture material assemblies under conditions of open-flame exposure, and does not indicate whether the assemblies will resist the propagation of flame under severe fire exposure or when tested in a manner that differs substantially from the test method.
The results obtained with a material assembly tested in mock-up in accordance with this test method do not necessarily indicate the performance of the same material assembly in other geometric configurations, such as in production furniture.
ASTM E1352-08a Flame Retardance Test of mock-up upholstered furniture - Standard Scope：
This is a fire-test-response standard.
This test method is designed for the assessment of the resistance of upholstered furniture mock-up assemblies to combustion after exposure to smoldering cigarettes under specified conditions.
Mock-up testing is useful in assessing the relative resistance of combustion of materials used in upholstered furniture such as cover materials, cushioning materials, welts, etc., in representative combinations disregarding the geometric arrangement of the seating surfaces, backs, and sides of furniture items.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
This standard is used to measure and describe the response of materials, products, or assemblies to heat and flame under controlled conditions, but does not by itself incorporate all factors required for fire hazard or fire risk assessment of the materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions.
