This study was designed to test the hypothesis that given a situation where a chair or other item of furniture becomes the first item to burn in a room (providing the ceiling and walls are non-combustible), there is little reason to expect involvement of the carpet in the fire beyond the immediate vicinity of the burning object. Four small-sized carpet fire tests and eight full-scale burn room fire experiments were conducted. Experimental data for temperature distribution and incident heat flux to the floor covering were measured in the rooms. From this study, carpet systems used in rooms will not normally spread fire provided they meet the requirements of DOC FF 1-70 (the pill test).
