Part 1 describes a procedure in which the textile material is held vertically in a frame and ignited with a small flame. The duration of flame contact to ignite the specimen is measured. The mean of a number of measurements is made.RECONFIRMATION NOTICETechnical Committee CS-086 has reviewed the content of this publication and in accordance with Standards Australia procedures for reconfirmation, it has been determined that the publication is still valid and does not require change.Certain documents referenced in the publication may have been amended since the original date of publication.

This standard sets out a method for the measurement of ease of ignition of vertically oriented textile fabrics intended for apparel, curtains and draperies in the form of single or multi-component (coated, quilted, multilayered, sandwich construction and similar combinations) fabrics.NOTE: This standard takes into account the development of ISO 6940 and is technically identical with that standard. The Explanatory Report of the development of ISO 6940 is given in the annex to this standard.
