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 -—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 ip 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.

Fabric Flammability Bibliographies

Preface

The Secretary of Commerce, under the 1967 amendment to the

Flammable Fabrics Act, was authorized to conduct research into the

flammability of products, fabrics and materials, conduct feasibility studies 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 necessa- ry 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 the items listed will be on file at an Information

Center 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 World Textile Abstracts, Chemical Abstracts, Applied Science and Technology Index, Engineering Index, and Business Periodicals Index for the period 1960

through 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, NASA or STAR numbers are supplied. Author and key word indexes 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. 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

that are not included of which they have knowledge.
Acknowledgement

The authors wish to express their appreciation for the assistance

provided by many people at the National Bureau of Standards in the

preparation of these bibliographies. Special thanks are extended to Mrs.

Mary E. Roger, for typing the many citations on magnetic tape, and to Mr. Rubin Wagner and Mrs. Sharon F. Holdridge, Computer-Assisted

Printing Section, for preparing the material for computer printing.
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 in cooperation with the NBS

Library. The first three bibliographies, on wearing apparel, fabrics used

on beds, and carpets and rugs, were published in NBS Technical Note

498. This one is on interior furnishings. It includes all of the references on bed fabrics and carpets and rugs that appeared in TN 498, along with

those on upholstered furniture, draperies, curtains, and materials that

are used in interior furnishings.

Key words: Bedding; beds; blankets; carpets; curtains; drapes;

fabrics; fibers; fire; flames; flammability; flammable;

floor coverings; furnishings; furniture; interior

furnishings; mattresses; pads; pillow cases; pillows;

plastics; rugs; sheets; springs; upholstered furniture;

upholstery.
Part 4. Interior Furnishings

Introduction

The December 1967 amendment to the Flammable Fabrics Act ex- tended the coverage of that Act to include interior furnishings containing fabrics and related materials. This extension served to recognize the

fact that interior furnishings may be involved in a significantly large

number of fires each year that lead to death, injury or significant property loss. The Secretary of Commerce has chosen to examine various

items of interior furnishings separately, rather than collectively,

because of the large variations in their involvement in fires. He has

found that unreasonable fire risks are involved in the use of carpets and

rugs and may be involved in the use of bedding. Separate bibliographies

for these two categories have been published in NBS Technical Note

498.

However, there is a large interest in the entire field of flammability

of interior furnishings and, consequently, this bibliography is being

published. It contains over 245 citations relating to interior furnishings.

Separate bibliographies will appear later on test methods, smoke and

other combustion products, fire and flame retardants and other specific areas currently within the coverage of the 1967 amendment to the

Flammable Fabrics Act.
