Combustion Tester BS 5852
Category:Flammability Tester
Introduction
BS 5852 combustion test equipment is widely used to test the flame retardant properties in Europe and United States soft furniture. It takes the flammability test with 0-7 fire and standard fabrics and sponge.
Application
BS 5852 combustion test equipment is mainly used to determine the flame retardant properties of soft furniture. It’s widely and conveniently use.
Furniture industry: Assessing combustion performance of mattresses, sofas, and related furniture materials.
Fire safety: Providing reaction data of furniture materials under fire for testing organizations.
Quality control: Supporting manufacturers in performance evaluation and certification compliance.
Research institutions: Studying combustion characteristics of new flame-retardant materials.
