1、Designation: F1870 11Standard Guide forSelection of Fire Test Methods for the Assessment ofUpholstered Furnishings in Detention and CorrectionalFacilities1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1870; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoptio

2、n or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This is a fire-test-response guide.1.2 This guide is intended to provide gu

3、idance for theselection of test methods that are applicable to determiningfire-test-response characteristics of upholstered furniture itemscontained within a detention cell.1.3 This guide is intended for use by those interested inassessing the fire properties of the upholstery products andtheir comp

4、onent materials or composites, within cells and otherareas (such as isolation lounges) of detention and correctionaloccupancies.1.4 This guide includes standard test methods promulgatedby ASTM, NFPA, Underwriters Laboratories, trade associa-tions and government agencies and other proposed test meth-

5、ods. It does not include industrial materials specification tests.The guide indicates some means by which modifications ofstandard test methods lead to potential achievement of certaintesting goals.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to regarded as standard;see IEEE/ASTM SI 10 for further details.

6、 The units given inparentheses are for information only. Some individual stan-dards referenced use inch-pound units for referee decisions.1.6 This guide contains four types of test methods, namely:(1) generic small-scale methods, (2) specific applications ofsmall-scale test methods to particular pro

7、ducts or compositesof products, associated with upholstery items, (3) real-scale testmethods where actual upholstery products are exposed to heator flame, and (4) guides explaining the concepts involved withroom-scale testing.1.7 The main fire-test-response characteristics investigatedin this guide

8、are: ignitability, ease of extinction, flame spread,heat release, smoke obscuration and toxic potency of smoke.1.8 This guide measures and describes the response ofmaterials, products, or assemblies to heat and flame undercontrolled conditions, but does not by itself incorporate allfactors required

9、for fire hazard or fire risk assessment of thematerials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions.1.9 Fire testing is inherently hazardous. Adequate safe-guards for personnel and property shall be employed inconducting these tests.1.10 This standard does not purport to address all of the

10、safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

34、ly in a specific fire, other than in a fire test involvingcontrolled conditions (different from fire-test-response charac-teristic, q.v.).3.2.2.1 DiscussionThe ASTM policy on fire standardsdistinguishes between the response of materials, products orassemblies to heat and flame, “under controlled con

35、ditions,”which is fire-test-response characteristic, and “under actual fireconditions,” which is fire performance. Fire performancedepends on the occasion or environment and may not bemeasurable. In view of the limited availability of fire-performance data, the response to one or more fire tests,app

36、ropriately recognized as representing end-use conditions, isgenerally used as a predictor of the fire performance of amaterial, product, or assembly.3.2.3 fire scenario, ndetailed description of conditions,including environmental, of one or more of the stages frombefore ignition to the completion of

37、 combustion in an actualfire at a specific location, or in a full-scale simulation.3.2.4 fire-test-response characteristic, nresponse charac-teristic of a material, product, or assembly, to a prescribedsource of heat or flame, under controlled fire conditions; suchresponse characteristics may includ

38、e but are not limited to easeof ignition, flame spread, heat release, mass loss, smokegeneration, fire endurance, and toxic potency of smoke.3.2.4.1 DiscussionA fire-test-response characteristic canbe influenced by variables of exposure such as ignitionintensity, ventilation, geometry of item or enc

39、losure, humidity,or oxygen concentration. It is not an intrinsic property such asspecific heat, thermal conductivity, or heat of combustion,where the value is independent of test variables. A fire-test-response characteristic may be described in one of severalterms. Smoke generation, for example, ma

40、y be described assmoke opacity, change of opacity with time, or smoke weight.No quantitative correlation need exist between values of aresponse characteristic for two or more materials, products, orassemblies, as measured by two or more approaches, or testedunder two or more sets of conditions for a

41、 given method.3.2.5 flashover, nrapid transition to a state of total surfaceinvolvement in a fire of combustible materials within anenclosure.3.2.5.1 DiscussionFlashover occurs when the surfacetemperatures of combustible contents rise, producing pyrolysisgases, and the room heat flux becomes suffici

42、ent to heat allsuch gases to their ignition temperatures. This commonlyoccurs when the upper layer temperature reaches 600C or aradiant heat flux at the floor of at least 20 kW/m2.3.2.6 heat release rate, ncalorific energy released per unittime by the combustion of a material under specified testcon

43、ditions.3.2.7 smoke, nairborne solid and liquid particulates andgases evolved when a material undergoes pyrolysis and com-bustion.3.2.8 smoke toxicity, npropensity of smoke to produceadverse biochemical or physiological effects.3.2.9 toxic potency (as applied to inhalation of smoke or itscomponent g

44、ases), nquantitative expression relating concen-tration and exposure time to a particular degree of adversephysiological response, for example, death, on exposure ofhumans or animals.3.2.9.1 DiscussionThe toxic potency of the smoke fromany material, product, or assembly is related to the composition

45、of that smoke which, in turn, is dependent upon the conditionsunder which the smoke is generated.3.2.10 upholstered furniture, nunit of interior furnishingthat (1) contains any surface that is covered, in whole or in part,with a fabric or other upholstery cover material, (2) containsupholstery paddi

46、ng or filling materials, and (3) is intended forsitting or reclining upon.3.2.11 upholstery cover fabric, noutermost layer of fabricor other material used to enclose the main support system orupholstery padding, or both, used in the furniture item.3.2.12 upholstery padding, npadding, stuffing, or fi

47、llingmaterials used in a furniture item, which may be either loose orattached, enclosed by an upholstery fabric, or located betweenthe upholstery fabric and support system, if present.3.2.12.1 DiscussionThis includes, but is not limited to,materials such as foams, cotton batting, polyester fiberfill

48、,bonded cellulose or down.4. Summary of Guide4.1 The test methods identified in this guide can be subdi-vided in four groups, namely: (1) generic small-scale methods;(2) specific applications of small-scale test methods applied toparticular products or composites of products, associated withupholste

49、ry items; (3) real-scale test methods where actualupholstery products (or full-scale mock-ups) are exposed toheat or flame; and (4) guides which explain the conceptsrequired to conduct room-scale testing, or design specific testmethods.4.2 The small-scale test methods relevant to upholsterymaterials or products for use in detention cells, determine thefollowing fire-test-response characteristics: ignitability, ease ofextinction, flame spread, heat release (both amount and rate),smoke obscuration, and toxic potency of smoke.4.3 Applications small scale test met
