Author(s)

Thomas J. Ohlemiller

Abstract

A dual burner apparatus has been developed for the purpose of assessing the flammability of a mattress/foundation combination in a manner that correlates with its real world fire behavior. This document sets out the detailed procedure for employing this burner assembly so as to obtain maximum lab-to-lab reproducibility.
