LABORATORY DIRECTOR HEAD OF FLAMMABILITY
This report shall not be reproduced except in full without the written approval of HSTTS. In all circumstances, results of tests are implied as
referring only to the sample supplied and should not be construed or interpreted on any other basis. The comments given in the report are for
guidance only and are not part of the results. Opinions and interpretations expressed herein are outside the scope of UKAS accreditation
Procedure
Specimens of fabric, Q4160 were subjected to the test methods described in BS EN ISO 15025:2002,
procedure ‘A’, in the as received condition and after 50 Wash cycles according to BS EN ISO 6330,
Program 2A.
No part of any hole nor any part of the lowest boundary of any flame shall reach the top edge or either
vertical edge of the sample specimen and there shall be no separation of any flaming debris from any
specimen, or if the mean afterflame or afterglow times exceed 2.5 s, the fabric shall be deemed not to
comply with the requirements for type “C” of this British Standard
Results
The following test results relate only to the ignitability of the combination of materials under the
particular conditions of test; they are not intended as a means of assessing the full potential fire hazard of
the materials in use.
They also only relate to the materials tested. They do not guarantee to represent the performance of
production materials.
Comments
The sample submitted complies with the flammability requirements of BS5867-2:2008 for Type C
performance.

REQUIRMENT/CLASSIFICATION:
BS EN 13773: 2003 – Textiles and textile products – Burning behaviour – Curtains and drapes classification scheme
TEST METHODS:
BS EN 1101: 1996 – Burning behaviour of curtains & drapes. Detailed procedure to determine the ignitibility of vertically
orientated specimens (Small flame)
BS EN 13772: 2011 – Textiles and textile products – Burning behaviour – Curtains & Drapes – Measurement of flame spread of
vertically oriented specimens with large ignition source
PRE-TREATMENT:
Prior to conditioning one set of six specimens had been subjected to 12 standard wash cycles in accordance with BS EN ISO
10528: 1995 Procedure A, then line dried in ambient atmospheric conditions.
CONDITIONING:
The sample was conditioned for at least 24 hrs in a specified atmosphere at 20 ± 20C and 65 ± 5% r h.
Authorised By:
Please note: The uncertainty of measurement is taken into account when stating conformance to the specification. The measured
value(s) marked* are compared with the ‘acceptance interval” which is determined by reducing the specification limits by the
expanded test uncertainty Uk=2 (approximately 95% confidence interval). Results outside these limits are declared as ‘fail’. All test
results issued on this certificate refer only to the item under test as supplied by the customer. This test certificate shall not be
