List of references
Gives requirements for ignition resistance of mattresses, divans and bed bases when tested including those for use in areas which are vulnerable to arson. Ignition resistance levels have been set with consideration of fire risk of particular end-use environment, but do not necessarily cover the behaviour of the mattress, divan or bed base in a fully developed fire.
