Specifies requirements for fabrics, trims, and labelling of children's nightclothes in sizes from 0 to 14, in three categories, viz. garments made from fabric of low hazard type, garments designed to reduce fire hazard, and garments which do not comply with these categories. Also covers labelling of envelopes containing paper patterns.

This Standard specifies design, performance and labelling requirements for four categories of children's nightwear, together with some garments commonly worn both day and night. It also covers requirements for the labelling of paper patterns for these garments.NOTES:Appendix A is a flow chart which will be of assistance in interpreting the Standard when designing children's nightwear. Appendix B provides a general indication of the burning characteristics of different types of fibres; however, it is not possible to accurately predict the burning behaviour of any garment solely on the basis of the fibre content of the component fabric or fabrics. Prediction of the burning behaviour of garments incorporating fibre blend is not possible from data on the individual fibres in the blend (see warning in Appendix B). There are some garments which will not meet the requirements of any of the categories in this Standard and therefore cannot comply with this Standard.
