BS 7175: Fire test to bedcovers and pillows 1. BS 7175: Fire test for bedcovers and pillows - Standard Title: BS 7175:1989:Methods of test for the ignitability of bedcovers and pillows by smouldering and flaming ignition sources 2. BS 7175: Fire test for bedcovers and pillows - Standard Brief: BS 7175 describes methods of test for the ignitability of bedcovers and pillows when subjected to smouldering and flaming types of ignition sources of differing severities. 3. BS 7175: Fire test for bedcovers and pillows - Products Scope: This British Standard describes methods of test for the ignitability of following products: > Bedcovers > Pillows 4. BS 7175: Fire test for bedcovers and pillows - Test Method: The materials to be tested and the ignition sources shall be conditioned immediately before the test for 72 h in indoor ambient conditions and then for at least 16 h in an atmosphere having a temperature of 20 ± 5 °C and a relative humidity of 65 ± 5 %. BS 7175, for the testing, a draught-free environment having a temperature of 15 °C to 30 °C and a relative humidity of 55 ± 20° shall be used. If the test is not carried out immediately after conditioning, place the conditioned specimens in a sealed container until the start of the test. Begin testing each specimen within 10 min of removing it from either the conditioning atmosphere or the sealed container. 5.
