Testing Labs with NIST dual burner
During the Phase I Research, NIST developed a test device consisting of 2 gas burners that reliably simulates the fire that results when a mattress and box-spring are ignited by burning bedclothes. This apparatus is important in allowing researchers to replicate "real world" bedroom fire scenarios.
The list of labs (updated Feb 2008) and other valuable information is available in the State and Federal Flammability Requirements Resource Toolkit. A electronic PDF file is FREE to all ISPA Members, click on the link above for details and to download your copy.
