CPSC 16 CFR 1632 Flammability Test of Bed Pillows and Cushions

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of CPSC 16 CFR 1632 standard. The CPSC 16 CFR 1632 standard, which is a standard that is generally referred to in flammability tests, describes the methods and requirements for testing the preliminary designs of mattresses and pillows before they are offered to consumers. This standard provides a test method for determining the ignition resistance of a mattress or pillow igniting when exposed to a lit cigarette.

CPSC 16 CFR 1632 Flammability Test of Bed Pillows and Cushions

The 16 CFR 1632 standard consists of the following parts: definitions, purpose, scope and applicability, general requirements, mattress test procedure, pillow test procedure, pass replacement procedure.

A mattress is a mattress filled with a flexible material designed to sleep alone or on it, or used in conjunction with other products. This definition includes, but is not limited to, adult beds, youth beds, portable beds, and cradle beds. It also includes water beds, air beds, sofa beds or removable type beds, corner group beds and bunk beds.

In the test method described in the 16 CFR 1632 standard, the ignition resistance of a mattress or mattress is measured by exposing the surface to a lit cigarette in an airflow protected environment.

This method measures the ignition resistance of a mattress or mattress pad by exposing the surface to lit cigarettes in a draft protected environment. Surfaces to be tested include the mattress or mattress surface, if any, smooth, edge edge, and quilted or tufted areas. A two-page test is also done at similar surface locations. In the second test, lit cigarettes are placed between the sheets.

Manufacturers must complete the tests of all mattresses, pillows and cushions covered by the standard in accordance with the 16 CFR-1632 standard before offering them to consumers. At the same time, manufacturers, importers or each of the companies that trade these products have to keep certain records of the beds, pillows and cushions subject to the standard, regardless of whether there is a guarantee or not.
