AS/NZS 4088.1: Upholstery materials for domestic furniture -- Smouldering ignitability
AS/NZS 4088.1:Fire test to Upholstery materials for furniture Standard Brief:
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.
