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.
Upholstered seating for domestic use and transport is not covered by
this standard.
NOTE Guidance on the applicability of hazard categories to particular
premises is given in the Notes to Table 1.
