BS EN 1021-1:2014

This standard BS EN 1021-1:2014 Furniture. Assessment of the ignitability of upholstered furniture is classified in these ICS categories:

• 97.140 Furniture
• 13.220.40 Ignitability and burning behaviour of materials and products

This European Standard specifies a test method to assess the ignitability of material combinations, such as covers and fillings used in upholstered seating, when subjected to a smouldering cigarette as an ignition source.

The test measures only the ignitability of a combination of materials used in upholstered seating and not the ignitability of a particular finished item of furniture incorporating these materials.
