1.1 This test method evaluates the relative flammability of textiles and garments intended for use in children’s sleepwear. The procedures of this test method follow testing and laundering procedures used to evaluate the flammability of children’s sleepwear contained in US Federal Regulations 16 CFR 1615 and 1616.

1.2 A textile used in children’s sleepwear must be tested in its original state and after 50 laundering and drying cycles to assess the flame resistance of the textile relative to its use life.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard; inch-pound units are provided for information only.
