The manner in which the fabrics are burned depends on many factors. The fiber content, weight, design, and whether the fabric is treated to retard fire, all play a role in the flammability of a fabric. Understanding the flammability of fabrics is to help minimize possible injuries and damages in the event of a fire.
Each of the textile products has their own fire test method. In most cases, compliance with flammability standards is mandatory and this obligation is contained in legal regulations. For some applications, it is left at the discretion of the manufacturer or the user to carry out flammability tests. Meanwhile, most standards are updated every five years.
The basis for the standards is the flammability of clothing textiles developed by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (16 CFR Section 1610). The first design of this standard extends to the 1950. This standard describes a test method for determining the appropriate classification.
The products covered by the standard are the fabrics intended for use in clothing. This standard applies to all garments for adults or children and fabrics used for day or night wear.
Today, a large number of flammability tests are carried out in advanced laboratories and the methods and standards published by domestic and foreign organizations are followed.
The main tests carried out within this framework are: burning test of clothing and garment fabrics, burning behavior test of nightwear, burning property test of garment fabrics, burning behavior test of children's clothing, classified flame splash test of protective clothing, protective clothing testing of materials with limited flame spread properties , measurement of flame spread properties of textile products in vertical position, determination of flammability property of vertical textile products, test of flammability of upholstered furniture, test of burnability of mattresses and beds, determination of combustion behavior of motor vehicles, toy safety test, primary and secondary ignition sources test of beds with flammability, surface flammability test of carpets and rugs and flammability test of bed materials.
The application is received, the contract and then the product, vehicle and vehicles for which, what kind of service is determined exactly.
The necessary laboratory environment is prepared and the products, tools and instruments requested by the organization are tested by experts with the reference of the existing standards and measurements are made.
The data obtained as a result of meticulously completed tests, measurements and analyzes are evaluated and accredited approved reports are submitted by expert engineers.
