AS 3744.2: Assessment of the ignitability of upholstered furniture Part 2: Ignition source - match flame equivalent

AS 3744.2 Fire test of upholstered furniture -Standard Brief：

This part of AS 3744 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.

 
AS 3744.2 Fire test of upholstered furniture - Test Conditioning:


             at least 16 h at T:23±2ºC, H: 50±5%
