NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS

The National Bureau of Standards ' was established by an act of Congress March 3, 1901. Today,

in addition to serving as the Nation's central measurement laboratory, the Bureau is a principal

focal point in the Federal Government for assuring maximum application of the physical and

engineering sciences to the advancement of technology in industry and commerce. To this end

the Bureau conducts research and provides central national services in four broad program

areas. These are: (1) basic measurements and standards, (2) materials measurements and

standards, (3) technological measurements and standards, and (4) transfer of technology.

The Bureau comprises the Institute for Basic Standards, the Institute for Materials Research, the

Institute for Applied Technology, the Center for Radiation Research, the Center for Computer

Sciences and Technology, and the Office for Information Programs.

THE INSTITUTE FOR BASIC STANDARDS provides the central basis within the United

States of a complete and consistent system of physical measurement; coordinates that system with measurement systems of other nations; and furnishes essential services leading to accurate and

uniform physical measurements throughout the Nation's scientific community, industry, and commerce. The Institute consists of an Office of Measurement Services and the following technical

divisions:Applied Mathematics—Electricity—Metrology—Mechanics—Heat—Atomic and Molecular Physics—Radio Physics 2—Radio Engineering -—Time and Frequency -—Astrophysics -—Cryogenics.2 THE INSTITUTE FOR MATERIALS RESEARCH conducts materials research leading to im- proved methods of measurement standards, and data on the properties of well-characterized

materials needed by industry, commerce, educational institutions, and Government; develops,

produces, and distributes standard reference materials; relates the physical and chemical properties of materials to their behavior and their interaction with their environments; and provides

advisory and research services to other Government agencies. The Institute consists of an Office of Standard Reference Materials and the following divisions: Analytical Chemistry—Polymers—Metallurgy—Inorganic Materials—Physical Chemistry.

THE INSTITUTE FOR APPLIED TECHNOLOGY provides technical services to promote

the use of available technology and to facilitate technological innovation in industry and Government; cooperates with public and private organizations in the development of technological standards, and test methodologies; and provides advisory and research services for Federal, state, and local government agencies. The Institute consists of the following technical divisions and

offices: Engineering Standards—Weights and Measures — Invention and Innovation — Vehicle Systems Research—Product Evaluation—Building Research—Instrument Shops—Measurement Engineering—Electronic Technology—Technical Analysis.

THE CENTER FOR RADIATION RESEARCH engages in research, measurement, and application of radiation tb the solution of Bureau mission problems and the problems of other agencies and institutions. The Center consists of the following divisions: Reactor Radiation—Linac Radiation—Nuclear Radiation—Applied Radiation. THE CENTER FOR COMPUTER SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY conducts research and

provides technical services designed to aid Government agencies in the selection, acquisition,

and effective use of automatic data processing equipment; and serves as the principal focus

for the development of Federal standards for automatic data processing equipment, techniques,

and computer languages. The Center consists of the following offices and divisions: Information Processing Standards—Computer Information — Computer Services — Sys- tems Development—Information Processing Technology.

THE OFFICE FOR INFORMATION PROGRAMS promotes optimum dissemination and

accessibility of scientific information generated within NBS and other agencies of the Federal government; promotes the development of the National Standard Reference Data System and a system of information analysis centers dealing with the broader aspects of the National Measure- ment System, and provides appropriate services to ensure that the NBS staff has optimum accessibility to the scientific information of the world. The Office consists of the following

organizational units: Office of Standard Reference Data—Clearinghouse for Federal Scientific and Technical Information ! —Office of Technical Information and Publications—Library—Office of Public Information—Office of International Relations.

Abstract

As recognition of the urgency of the flammable fabrics problem, the

Flammable Fabrics Act of 1953 was amended in 1967 to include all items

of wearing apparel and interior furnishings. In order to facilitate

research and assist in the development of new standards and test

methods in these areas, a series of bibliographies is being prepared by

the NBS Office of Flammable Fabrics. The first three, on wearing apparel, bed fabrics and carpets and rugs, are included in this Technical

Note.

Fabric Flammability Bibliographies

Preface

The Secretary of Commerce, under the 1967 Amendment to the

Flammable Fabrics Act, was authorized to conduct research on the

flammability of products, fabrics and materials, conduct feasibility stu- dies on reduction of flammability, develop flammability test methods

and offer appropriate training in the use of flammability test methods.

These responsibilities were delegated to the National Bureau of Standards.

In order to facilitate these four areas of investigation, it is neces- sary to have a thorough knowledge of what has been accomplished and

what is being done by others in the field. Therefore, as part of the program of the Office of Flammable Fabrics, a series of bibliographies is being developed in cooperation with the staff of the Library of the

National Bureau of Standards.

Each bibliography deals with a specific facet of the fabric flammability problem, such as flammability of wearing apparel, flammability of

carpets and rugs, smoke and noxious products of combustion, etc. These

bibliographies are working documents and will be updated and reissued

as warranted. All of the items listed will be on file at the National

Bureau of Standards and available for inspection by those interested.

However, copyright restrictions prevent the distribution of copies of

these documents.

Citations for these bibliographies have been collected through a review of abstracting and indexing journals, such as Chemical Abstracts. Applied Science and Technology Index, Engineering Index, and

Business Periodicals Index for the period 1960 through May 1969, as well as from various footnotes and bibliographies. The elements of each

citation will vary with the type of publication cited. Initially, they will

include: author or issuing agency; title of article or paper; title of journal; title of book, chapter and chapter number; volume number, issue

number; edition other than first; publisher, place and date of publication, inclusive pages; and number of references given. Later versions

will include abstracts.

Arrangement is alphabetical by surname of the first author or by

title if there is no author. When readily available the AD, PB, NSA or STAR numbers are supplied. Author and subject indices are provided.

The following symbols signify certain types of citations:

* — a publication that has not been seen by the compilers of

this bibliography.

** — a short item such as a news note, or subsection of an article. *** — a photocopy or reprint for which the citation has not been

verified in all details.

FABRIC FLAMMABILITY BIBLIOGRAPHIES

The literature on the flammability of fabrics is highly fragmented

and difficult to cover completely. Consequently, some items in the literature may have been omitted, and, it would be greatly appreciated if those using the bibliographies would inform the Office of Flammable

Fabrics, National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D.C. 20234 of any

items of which chey have knowledge that are not included.

The first three bibliographies are being published together under

one cover in this Technical Note.

Part 1. Wearing Apparel

Introduction

Available statistics indicate that many deaths or injuries result

from wearing apparel fires every year. Large numbers of publications

reflect the general concern with this problem. This concern with

clothing fires is not a recent development. Studies of fire retardants for

fabrics have been recorded as early as the seventeenth century; an article in the Scientific American in July 1861, on the occasion of the tragic

fire death of Mrs. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, urged more attention

to the flameproofing of ladies' garments.

This bibliography contains over 180 citations to the literature on

flammability of wearing apparel. Only those references related specifically to wearing apparel are included. General treatments on test methods, legislation and retardant treatments will be presented in

separate bibliographies.

Part 2. Fabrics Used on Beds

Introduction

Fabrics used in or on beds are involved in numerous fires resulting

in many deaths or serious injuries to humans annually. These fires

frequently are started by small ignition sources and are characterized

by long periods of smoldering. Often the victims have been found

anesthetized by the toxic products of this smoldering combustion either

with or without burn injuries. In the extreme cases, the combustion

products have produced fatalities. In other instances rapidly burning

fires have been encountered.

Part 2 contains over 75 citations related to fabric products used in

and on beds. These range from mattresses and springs to bedspreads

and blankets. The citations are directly related to these finished

products; they do not include general references to the materials from

which they were made, the combustion products or to general methods

of test. These items will be covered in later bibliographies directed

specifically to them.

Part 3. Carpets and Rugs

Introduction

In recent years carpets and rugs have become progressively more

important as floor coverings in homes and places of gathering and

public accommodation. More and more frequently entire floor and stair areas have been covered. Psychophysicists and acoustic engineers are currently recommending carpets for use on walls and ceilings to control

sound levels. New fibers and construction techniques have been in- troduced fairly regularly. As the uses of carpets and rugs increase, their

potential involvement in fires also increases. Both consumer and manufacturing interests are keenly aware of the potential hazards that are being imposed by these broader uses of carpets and by the proliferation

of new fibers and techniques used in their construction.

Part 3 has been prepared to meet this rapidly increasing interest in

flammability of rugs and carpets. It contains approximately 65 citations

directly related to this category. General references on test methods, re- tardant treatments or products of combustion will be covered in other

bibliographies of this series.
