This British Standard specifies the form of assessment of the behaviour of textile floor coverings when subjected to the small source of ignition test described in BS 4790; and gives requirements for conveying the information obtained to domestic and contract users. It is applicable to all types of textile floor coverings used in the horizontal position.
NOTE 1. The test method described in BS 4790 is used in this standard to provide some assessment of the potential hazard of textile floor coverings being ignited from a small ignition source such as a lighted match, a burning cigarette or a glowing coal. In no circumstances should the test results thus obtained be used to assess the contribution the textile floor coverings will make to an established fire.
NOTE 2. The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on page 3.
