This document specifies a method for the measurement of ease of ignition of vertically oriented textile fabricsand industrial products in the form of single or multi-component fabrics (coated, quilted, multilayered,sandwich constructions, and similar combinations), when subjected to a small, defined flame.This method assesses the properties of textile fabrics in response to flame contact under controlledconditions. There is a possibility that results do not apply the situations where there is restricted air supplyor exposure to large sources of intense heat.The influence of seams on the behaviour of fabrics can be determined by this method, the seam beingpositioned within the test specimen so as to be subjected to the test flame. Whenever practicable, trimmingsare tested as part of the fabric assembly on which they are, or will be, used.
