BS5852-3000: Furniture Flammability Tester

Overview
The BS5852-3000 evaluates the ignitability of upholstered furniture fabrics per BS 5852 (UK standard) using a gas burner to simulate smoldering cigarettes and open flames. Critical for compliance with UK building regulations and BIS certification.

Core Features

1. Dual Ignition Sources: Cigarette simulator (15 mm lit filter) and open flame (50 W) with adjustable dwell time.
2. Smoldering Resistance Test: Measures char length and afterglow duration on fabric-textile composites.
3. Automated Sampling: Motorized stage positions samples (up to 600 mm x 600 mm) for repeatable tests.
4. Compliance Automation: Preloaded BS 5852 protocols generate reports with pass/fail criteria.

Applications

• Upholstered Furniture: Certify sofas, mattresses, and car seats for BS 5852 compliance.
• Hospitality: Validate hotel furniture fire resistance.
• Aerospace: Test cabin interior materials for flammability.

Compliance
BS 5852 Part 1 & 2, ISO 9239-1, NFPA 260.

Optional Add-Ons

• Multi-layer fabric fixtures.
• High-speed cameras for ignition analysis.
• Data integration with LIMS systems.

Conclusion
The BS5852-3000 ensures upholstered products meet UK fire safety standards, safeguarding public spaces and consumer goods.
