Common Fire Regulations & Test Standards
(Applicable standards may vary by market and application)
Fire-resistant bedding is typically evaluated and certified according to one or more of the following internationally recognized standards:
International & European Standards
- EN ISO 12952-1 / 12952-2
Assessment of ignitability of bedding items using a smouldering cigarette and small open flame
→ Widely used for hotels, healthcare facilities, and public institutions - EN ISO 15025
Limited flame spread test for textile materials
→ Evaluates flame propagation, afterflame/afterglow time, and molten debris - BS 7175 (UK)
Fire safety requirements for bedding and bed-related products
→ Commonly specified for hospitality, healthcare, dormitories, and public buildings
United States Standards
- 16 CFR Part 1632 / 1633
Flammability standards for mattresses and bedding products
→ Designed to reduce fire risks associated with bed ignition, widely applied in healthcare and accommodation markets
Fire-Resistant Bedding: More Than Passing a Test
High-quality fire-resistant bedding should deliver verified protection while maintaining usability and durability:
- Reduced ignitability, tested to recognized standards
- Slower flame spread to delay fire development
- No molten dripping or flame-promoting behavior
- Durable fire performance after repeated laundering
- Compliance with regulatory and procurement requirements in target markets
