“…Similarly, Wanna and co-workers [118] also investigated the inter-bolt variability for four bolts of Duck #6 and two types of experimental cigarettes. The results for each of the cigarettes were also reported to have a statistically significant dependence on the bolt used in the mock-up.…”

“…Therefore, it is important that the substrate be fully defined in order to reduce the number of uncontrolled variables and subsequently to assist with the usability of test results for analysis and comparison of different ignition sources. The sources of these variations range from variability among bolts of the same type of fabric [117,118] to the effect of incipient substrate decomposition and/or smoldering. [10]…”

Existing and proposed U.S. flammability standards for soft furnishings such as mattresses and upholstered furniture specify a "standard" cigarette as the ignition source in smoldering resistance performance tests. With the introduction of reduced ignition propensity cigarettes into the marketplace, the specific conventional cigarette that has been widely used in testing for ignition resistance is no longer in production. A standard reference cigarette, SRM 1196, has been developed as a short-term replacement. However, to support furnishings manufacturers and testing organizations in product design and evaluation, and to assist regulators in the compliance evaluation process, a feasible and preferably non-agricultural ignition source with long-term availability is desirable. A key first step in establishing such a standard ignition source is examination of prior characterizations of smoldering ignition sources and the cigarette ignition process. This report documents a literature survey on these topics.

“…It should be noted that, while cotton ducks have military specifications defining some of their properties, they do not have carefully controlled, uniform properties that would make them suitable as standards in the analytical sense. Variations in the properties of the cotton ducks critical for measuring IP have been noted [2,3].…”

The NIST method for measuring the ignition propensity (IP) of cigarettes on a test mockup meant to represent the flat surface of upholstered furniture was revised and tested [1]. The revisions included a number of dele tions and additions. The most important addition to the original test was the in clusion of selected, smolderable upholstery fabrics. The deletions were, in general, procedural details known or believed to be unnecessary. Three replicate runs of the method using the same experimental and control cigarette pair, as well as a series of runs using experimental and control cigarette pairs with deliv eries of 5, 11 and 16 mg of tar, were performed. The modified method provides re peatable and statistically valid data. Adding commercial, nonreversal upholstery fabrics to the test did not add to the ability of the test to measure IP behavior and, therefore, they were eliminated in the final proposed method. A reversal-type fabric should be included in the test, but it should be specially pro duced for this purpose [9]. With these further modifications, the test is consider ably simpler to perform than the original test.
