Overview

This European Standard specifies a classification scheme for the burning behaviour of bedding items based on two ignition sources (smouldering cigarette and small open flame). The classification is applied to single bedding items only and not to complete bed assemblies. This document (EN 14533:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 207 "Furniture", the secretariat of which is held by UNI (Italy). The responsible German standardization committee is Joint Working Committee NMP/NHM NA 062-05-43 GA "Brennverhalten von Textilien, Textil- und Polsterverbunden" ("Burning behavior of textiles, textile and upholstered compounds") of the DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing (NMP).
