CEN/TC 248/WG 24 - Test methods for the flammability of textiles

This European Standard specifies a procedure to determine the flame spread of textiles for curtains and drapes by testing a vertically oriented specimen in accordance with EN ISO 6941.

Specifies a classification scheme for the burning behaviour of bedding items based on two ignition sources (smouldering cigarette and small open flame)

This European Standard specifies a method for the measurement of flame spread of vertically oriented textile fabrics intended for curtains and drapes in the form of single or multi-component (coated, quilted, multilayered, sandwich construction and similar combinations) fabrics using a large ignition source.

This European Standard specifies a procedure to determine the ignitability of textiles for curtains and drapes by testing in accordance to EN ISO 6940.

ISO 6940:2004 specifies a method for the measurement of ease of ignition of vertically oriented textile fabrics and industrial products in the form of single or multi-component fabrics (coated, quilted, multilayered, sandwich constructions, and similar combinations), when subjected to a small, defined flame. This method assesses the properties of textile fabrics in response to flame contact under controlled conditions.

ISO 6941:2003 specifies a method for the measurement of flame spread times of vertically oriented textile fabrics and industrial products in the form of single or multi-component fabrics (coated, quilted, multilayered, sandwich combinations, and similar combinations) when subjected to a small, defined flame.
