The Flammability Aspects of Decorative Trimmings Part 3: Decorative Trimmings Used on Soft Furnishings- A New Test Method

摘要

A new test method has been developed to investigate the flamma- bility of trimmings used on soft furnishings. The trimming was attached to a sam- ple of the soft furnishing fabric by steel pins. The trimming/fabric combination was then fixed on a specially designed steel frame that could be slotted on the BS 5438:1976 test rig. The frame supporting the trimming could be rotated along The vertical plane so that the trimming/fabric junction could be inclined at vari- Ous angles with respect to the flame.
