Soft furniture, bedding, curtains and other household articles in the home environment, especially furniture materials and textile products, have combustion-prone characteristics, easy to burn the human body or cause fire. At present, the world including domestic and major European and American countries have very strict flame retardant requirements for upholstered furniture, home furnishing and other related products. Therefore, furniture manufacturers, buyers, exporters, traders must regularly test their products for fire resistance, flammability and flame propagation before they can be sold on the market.
