Analysis of BS5852 Furniture Fabrics Burning Performance Test Experiment
BS5852 furniture fabric flammability test is currently a routine fire safety monitoring standard in Europe, especially for Chinese enterprises to improve the quality of fire safety. This article focuses on the interpretation of the experimental methods and requirements for furniture fabric flammability testing. British Standard: BS5852-Furniture Fabrics Fire Performance Test 1, BS 5852 Furniture Fabrics Fire Test, Fire Test - Standard Name 2, BS 5852-2006: Test Method for Assessment of Fire Performance of Soft Seats Using Smoldering and Combustion Ignition Sources3 、BS 5852-2006: Methods of test for assessment of the ignitability of upholstered seating by smouldering and flaming ignition sources Flammability of material combinations (eg soft seat coverings and filling materials). All styles of home upholstered furniture in the UK must meet“Furniture Fire Safety Clauses”, 1988 Amendments to BS 5852 Part 1 and BS 5852 Part 2 were withdrawn by BSI but still apply to the clauses mentioned in the cited standard. Test Requirements: Test Method The test must be carried out in a laboratory with standard air flow. The covering material and filling are placed in a test equipment used to make a small sofa with a base and backrest at 90o. The ignition source is placed at the connection between the base and the back of the sofa. There are 6 different ignition sources, numbered 2-7, of which 2-3 are gas burning sources, 4-7 wood products burning sources (more Higher numbers represent more intense fire sources in the same group). During the gas combustion process, the smoldering time shall not exceed 30 minutes from the beginning (the wood product combustion source shall not exceed 60 minutes). If the test cannot show that the fire source is 100mm upward and charred in different directions, the gas flame shall be charred within 40 seconds. After removing (fire source 2) or after 70 seconds (fire source 3), it is allowed to continue until the combustion tube is removed for more than 120 seconds when there is no flame, and it is allowed to continue when there is no flame. 13 minutes for sources 6-7). Related standards: BS EN 1021-1 Furniture - Determination of flammability testing of upholstered furniture - Part 1: Source of ignition: Burning cigarette BS EN 1021-2 Furniture - Determination of flammability testing of upholstered furniture - Part 2: Source of ignition : Equivalent to the ignition source of a match
