Iso8191 test is mentioned in as 3744.1. Are the two tests the same?

AS 3744.1 There are notes in the standard ISO 8191, It is associated with ISO8191.1 The test principle is similar , They are all smoldering cigarette tests for upholstered furniture .

Comparison of the two standard ranges ：

AS 3744.1 A test method is specified , To assess the flammability of the material combination , For example, covers and fillers used in upholstered seats , Flame retardancy when affected by Smoldering Cigarettes as ignition sources . These tests only measure the flammability of the material combinations used for the upholstered seats , The flammability of a particular finished furniture containing these materials is not measured .

ISO 8191.1 This part of the test method is aimed at evaluating the flammability of material combinations subject to smoldering cigarette ignition sources （ Such as the fabric used for soft seats , Fillers, etc ）. The test method only measures the flame retardancy of the cushion seat material combination submitted for inspection to Smoldering Cigarettes , It is not possible to measure the fire resistance of finished products or some materials .

Test principle ：

Make Smoldering Cigarettes act on seats （ by ） Cushion material test block . The sample is installed according to the typical seat cushion and back cushion （ Or seat cushion and push armrest ） The combination of , This test method only tests the whole sample （ Including fabric 、 Lining 、 Fillers and other materials ） Test the ignitability on the cabinet frame . The test results are not applicable to the evaluation of single materials in the whole test block .

Applicable products ：

Sofa ;

Cushioned seats ;

Massage chair ;

Cushion ;

Other upholstered furniture .

remarks ： Soft furniture mainly refers to the use of sponges 、 Furniture with fabric as the main body . The manufacturing process of software furniture mainly depends on manual process , The main process includes nailing the inner frame 、 Backing cloth 、 Sticky sponge 、 The cutting 、 From the car coat to the final process . Like the sofa 、 Beds and other furniture . Software furniture belongs to a kind of furniture , Including casual fabric art 、 Genuine leather 、 imitation leather 、 Leather cloth sofa 、 soft bed .

Flame retardant standards for other upholstered furniture ：

AS/NZS 3744.2 : Assessment of flammability of upholstered furniture － The first 2 part ： source of a fire － Equivalent matching flame

AS/NZS 4088.1: Test of the resistance to ignition of the furniture and furniture decorative materials

BS 5852: Test method for smoldering and flame burning of upholstered seats .
