Review on Domestic and International Flammability Test Methods of Textile

Abstract:

Domestic and international testing methods of flammability property of textile, such as oxygen index method, vertical test method, 45 degree test method, horizontal test method and cone calorimeter method, were analyzed via comparing the principles, as well as their requirements of different acts and standards. To comprehensively evaluate the burning behavior of textiles, appropriate combination of methods should be chosen according to the practical application.
