ISO 8191-2 Fire test to Upholstered Furiture

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 %.
