Modification of the NIST test for measuring the ignition propensity of cigarettes
The NIST method for measuring the ignition propensity of cigarettes on a test mockup meant to represent the flat surface of upholstered furniture was revised and tested. The revisions included a number of deletions and additions. The most important addition to the original test was the inclusion 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 deliveries of 5, 11 and 16 mg of tar, were performed. The modified method provides repeatable and statistically valid data. Adding commercial, nonreversal upholstery fabrics to the test did not add to the ability of the test to measure ingition propensity 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 produced for this purpose. With these further modifications, the test is considerably simpler to perform than the original test.
