BS 7177:2008+A1:2011

This standard BS 7177:2008+A1:2011 Specification for resistance to ignition of mattresses, mattress pads, divans and bed bases is classified in these ICS categories:

• 97.140 Furniture

This British Standard specifies requirements for the resistance to ignition of mattresses, mattress pads, divans and bed bases when tested in accordance with BS EN 597‑1, BS EN 597‑2 and BS 6807 including those used in areas vulnerable to arson. It does not apply to mattress protectors. The levels of ignition resistance have been set after careful consideration of the fire risk of the particular end-use environment involved. These levels do not necessarily reflect the behaviour of the mattress, mattress pad, divan or bed base in a fully developed fire.

NOTE Guidance on the applicability of hazard categories to particular premises is given in the notes to Table 1.
