Excerpt from Full-Scale Burning Behavior of Upholstered Chairs A test program was conducted to determine the fire behavior of a variety of upholstered chairs subjected to a flaming ignition. Major variables were materials and construction of chairs, room ventilation, and type of ignition sources. A total of 16 types of traditional and modern design chairs were tested in a full - scale, otherwise unfurnished room. A folded up newspaper at the seat area was used as the standard ignition source. Room tenability criteria were based on smoke, concentra tions of gaseous combustion products, and heat flux.
