16 CFR Part 1633 is introduced as follow:
Explaining the Proposed Open Flame
Mattress Flammability Standard
Applicability This document applies to all mattresses sold in the United States that are manufactured in the United States or imported into the United States on - or after - July 1, 2007.
Purpose This new standard establishes performance requirements based on research conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). These improved mattresses should result in significant reductions in deaths and injuries associated with the risk of mattress fires.
Test Method The test method is a full-scale test based on NIST research. The mattress specimen (a mattress alone or mattress and foundation set) is exposed to a pair of T-shaped propane burners and allowed to burn freely for a period of 30 minutes. The burners are designed to simulate burning bedclothes. The burners impose a specified heat flux simultaneously to the top and side of the mattress set for a specified period of time (70 seconds for the top burner and 50 seconds for the side burner). Measurements are taken of the heat release rate from the specimen and energy generated from the fire. The standard establishes two test criteria, both of which the mattress set must meet in order to comply with the standard:
1.The peak heat release rate for the mattress set must not exceed 200 kW at any time during the 30 minute test, and
2.The total heat released must not exceed 15 MJ for the first 10 minutes of the test.
