TECHNICAL BULLETIN 117-2013: Requirements, Test Procedure and Apparatus for Testing the Smolder Resistance of Materials Used in Upholstered Furniture
TB 117-2013 Smolder Resistance Testing to Materials Used in Upholstered Furniture- Products Scope：
This is a fire-test-response standard.
These test methods are designed for the assessment of the resistance of upholstered furniture component assemblies to combustion after exposure to smoldering cigarettes under specified conditions.
The tests apply to upholstered furniture components - cover fabrics, barrier materials, resilient filling materials, and decking materials.
TB 117-2013 Smolder Resistance Testing to Materials Used in Upholstered Furniture Test Method：
The individual test methods and the materials to which they apply are as follows:
Cover Fabric Test - Applies to outer cover fabrics.
Barrier Materials Test - Applies to materials that are intended to serve as a barrier (interliner) between cover fabric and the resilient filling materials.
Resilient Filling Material Test – Applies to resilient filling materials used in upholstered
seating furniture.
Decking Material Test – Applies to resilient materials used in the deck under loose cushions.
