ASTM E1474 Standard Test for Heat Dissipation Rate of Upholstered Furniture and Mattresses

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM E1474 testing. This test method is used to determine the sustained flammability and heat release time of materials and composites subjected to a predetermined initial test heat flow in a cone calorimeter apparatus.

This test method allows measurement of continuous ignition time, heat release rate, peak and total heat release, and effective heat of combustion at a constant initial test heat flux of 35 kW/m2. This test method is also suitable for obtaining heat release data at different heat fluxes. The sample is oriented horizontally and a spark ignition source is used.

Tests are performed on desktop scale specimens incorporating furniture or mattress shell components. Frame elements are not included.
