<\/p>\nThe most unsafe is clothing that is loose-fitting (airy) and made of easily combustible materials.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Because it is difficult to take everything into account at once, the rules have been kept simple. This was already the case in America and has been adopted with us: all substances must meet a simple minimum requirement.<\/p>\n
All normal fabrics must comply with:
\n1. at 1 second flame contact time, flame displacement slower than 127 mm per 4 sec, plus:
\n2. no stinging flame over the fabric surface.
\nFound in: ASTM D 1230 \/ Dutch regulation of 8 Feb 2008.<\/p>\n
This requirement is primarily practical. In fact, substances are now being declared safe based on m2 weight and composition:<\/p>\n
There are separate requirements for nightwear, which can be found in the following standards:
\n1. For infants and children: EN 14878 (fire behavior of children’s nightwear).
\n2. For adults: Covenant Nightwear\/ EN 1103<\/p>\n
Any questions? Need more details? A great way to manually test if your clothing is satisfactory? Let me know.<\/p>\n
