Test Results:

The following test results relate only to the ignitability of the combination of materials under the
particular condition of test. They are not intended as a means of assessing the full potential fire hazard
of the materials or products in use.

nd
test
(A) Progressive smouldering (Clause 4.1 of BS 5852: Part 2: 1982)
4.1 b) Any composite that product externally detectable amounts of smoke, heat or
NO NO
glow 60 min after ignition of the crib.
4.1 c) Any composite that displays escalating combustion behaviour so that it is
NO NO
unsafe to continue the test and requires forcible extinction.
4.1 d) Any composite that smoulders until it is essentially consumed within the test
NO NO
duration relevant to the source
4.1 e) Any composite that smoulders to the extremities of the specimen viz upper or
NO NO
lower margins, either side or to its full thickness, within the duration of the test.
4.1 f) Any composite that, on the final examination, shows evidence of charring other
than discolouration, more than 100 mm in any direction apart from upwards from the NO NO
nearest part of the original position of the source.

(B) Flaming (Clause 4.2 of BS 5852: Part 2 :1982)
4.2 b) Any composite that continues to flame for more than 10 minutes after the
NO NO
ignition of the crib.
4.2 d) Any composite that displays escalating combustion behaviour so that it is
NO NO
unsafe to continue the test and forcible extinction is required.
4.2 e) Any composite that burns until it is essentially consumed within the test duration
NO NO
relevant to the source.
4.2 f) Any composite on which any flame front reaches the lower margin, either side or
NO NO
passes through the full thickness of the specimen within the duration of the test.
(C) Mass Loss (Clause 5 in Schedule 1 Part1 of UK Regulations)
If failure against the criteria of clause 4 of BS 5852:Part 2 has occurred but only by
way of damage exceeding the limits defined in clause 4.1(e), 4.1(f) and 4.2(f) and
26 g 33 g
provided that the resultant mass loss is less than 60g the foam passes the ignitability
test.

Conclusion: PASS
Remark: N/A--Not Applicable; N/C--Not Conduct;
#1—Pass, flaming but self-extinguishment, the resultant mass loss is less than 60g;
#2—Fail, flaming but self-extinguishment, the resultant mass loss is more than 60g;
#3—Fail, extinguished by operator, escalating flaming combustion;
#4—The first test failed, so retest was not conducted;

III. Acceptance Criteria:

1. A single mock-up test specimen fails to meet the requirements of this test procedure if any of the
following criteria occurs:
a) The mock-up test specimen continues to smolder after the 45 minute test duration;
b) A vertical char length of more than 1.5 inches develops on the cover fabric.
c) The mock-up test specimen transitions to open flaming.
2. The resilient filling material passes the test if three mock-up specimens pass the test.
3. If more than one specimen fails, the resilient filling material fails the test.
4. If any one of the three initial specimens fails, repeat the test on additional three specimens.
5. If all three additional specimens pass the test, the resilient filling material passes the test. If any one
of the additional three specimens fails, the resilient filling material fails the test.
