Printed version of this is available at library. To request, please e-mail to referencepk@usm.my and include a copy of this record in your e-mail.
This British Standard specifies requirements for the
resistance to ignition of upholstered furniture used
for seating when tested in accordance
with BS 5852, BS EN 1021-1 or BS EN 1021-2, as
appropriate. The levels of ignition resistance have
been set after careful consideration of the fire risk
of the particular end-use environment involved.
These levels do not necessarily reflect the
behaviour of the upholstered seating in a fully
developed fire.
This standard includes advice on predictive tests
for small orders in annex A. This is included to
extend the applicability of the standard to
situations involving orders of 200 identical units or
less where direct tests would be unduly onerous.
The predictive test is not intended to be used as a
screening procedure or a prerequisite for furniture
or in the selection of covers for orders greater than
this limit.
Upholstered seating for domestic use and transport
are not covered by this standard.
NOTE. Guidance on the applicability of hazard categories to
particular premises is given in the notes to table 1.
