Mattresses' flammability testing generally follows international standards and regulations to ensure their safety. Here are some common general standards and regulations for mattress flammability testing:
1. American standards: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has formulated 16 CFR Part 1633 "Flammability Standard for Mattress and Mattress Accessories". This standard requires mattresses to have certain flame retardant properties under fire conditions to reduce the burning rate and smoke production when a fire occurs.
2. European Standards: The European Union has developed the EN 597-1 and EN 597-2 standards for evaluating the flammability of mattresses and mattress components. These standards require mattresses to be tested for ignition and flame spread to evaluate their burning properties and rate of burning.
3. International standards: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) released ISO 17927 "Combustion Characteristics of Mattresses and Mattress Bases and Related Products." This standard describes methods for testing the combustion characteristics of mattresses and mattress-based materials, including ignition tests, flame spread tests, and smoke production tests.
In addition, some countries and regions may have their own mattress flammability testing standards and regulations. For example, the Chinese national standard GB/T 14644-2008 "Furniture Flammability Test Methods" stipulates the flammability test method for mattresses.
It’s important to note that mattress flammability testing standards and regulations may vary by country, region and product type. If you have more detailed requirements for specific standards and regulations, it is recommended that you refer to local regulations and relevant industry standards to ensure compliance with applicable safety requirements.
