Scope

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.
