1、Designation:F195515An American National StandardStandard Test Method forFlammability of Sleeping Bags1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1955;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision
2、.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 fire-test response test method contains a method toassess the flammability,expressed as a burn rate,of sleepingbags which use vario
3、us materials and constructions in theirmanufacture.1.2 Sleeping bags that comply with the requirements in thistest method shall be permitted to be labeled as complying withthe appropriate requirements,to facilitate the identification ofproducts conforming to this test method.1.3 This test method is
4、technically equivalent to the flam-mability standard CPAI-75,issued by the Industrial FabricsAssociation International(see 2.2),and which has been in useas a flammability requirement for the sleeping bag industry inthe U.S.NOTE1CPAI-75 expresses burn rate in units of inches/minute whilethis test met
5、hod expresses burn rate in units of centimetres/minute.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.5 This standard is used to measure and describe theresponse of materials,products,or assemblies to heat andflame under
6、controlled conditions,but does not by itselfincorporate all factors required for fire hazard or fire riskassessment of the materials,products,or assemblies underactual fire conditions.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresp
7、onsibility 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.1.7 Fire testing is inherently hazardous.Adequate safe-guards for personnel and property shall be employed inconducting these tests.2.
