There are several test methods relating to establish the fire properties and behaviour of furniture, furnishings and mattresses. The most common ignition sources used are a glowing cigarette and a small gas flame, the size of a match. Depending on where the furniture is to be used (hotel, school, domestic, hospitals, etc.) and also which market it is to be sold on the methods differ. UK generally has the strictest requirements in Europe, both for the domestic and the public market.
There are a few standards covering all of Europe but each country often has their own standards and requirements. There are also specific sector requirements in areas such as maritime, rolling stock and the automotive industry.
