Description:  TITLE: Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads; Amendment  
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission  
ACTION: Final rule  
SUMMARY: The Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission, or CPSC) is issuing this final 
rule to amend its Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads. The ignition source 
cigarette specified in the standard for use in the mattress standard's perfo rmance tests, Standard 
Reference Material cigarette SRM 1196, is no longer available for purchase. This final rule amends 
the mattress standard to require a revised Standard Reference Material cigarette, SRM 1196a, which 
was developed by the National Insti tute of Standards and Technology, as the ignition source for 
testing to the mattress standard.
