ISO 8191-2 Fire test to Upholstered Furiture - Standard Title:
ISO 8191-2:1988 Furniture - Assessment of ignitability of upholstered furniture - Part 2 ignition source: match -flame equivalent
ISO 8191-2 Fire test to Upholstered Furiture - Standard Brief:
This part of ISO 8191 lays down a method of test to assess the ignitability of material combinations, such as covers and fillings used in upholstered seating when subjected to a small flame as an ignition Source.
The tests measure only the ignitability of a combination of materials used in upholstered seating and not the ignitability of a particular finished item of furniture incorporating these materials. They give an indication of, but cannot guarantee, the ignition behaviour of the finished item of furniture.
ISO 8191-2Atmospheres for conditioning and testing:
Atmospheres for conditioning and testing
1) Conditioning
The materials to be tested and the cigarettes shall be conditioned for 16 h
immediately before the test in one of the following atmospheres(‘preferred):
a) temperature: 20 plus or minus 2 “C
relative humidity: (65 plus or minus 2) %
b) temperature: 23 plus or minus 2 “C
relative humidity: (50 plus or minus 5) %
c) temperature: 27 plus or minus 2 “C
relative humidity: (65 plus or minus 5) %
2) Testing
The test shall be carried out in an atmosphere having a temperature between 10 and 30 “C and a relative humidity between 15 % and 80 %.
