This Standard specifies testing and performance requirements for the ignitability of filling and covering materials used in upholstered furniture intended for use in domestic situations. Covering and filling materials are tested either individually or, if actual composites, together using a smouldering source. The requirements cover accidental application of a smouldering ignition source but not deliberate acts of vandalism.
