Abstract: Flammability testing is arguably one of the most important testing procedures within the textile industry because it has crucial safety implications in the event of a fire. Chapter begins with the discussion on importance of flammability test methods depending on the use for different applications. There is no single flammability standard, which can be applicable for all the different varieties of home textiles and can be adopted as the norm throughout the world. So, different flammability standards that are in force internationally reflect the different ways of approaching the whole flammability issue. The chapter then discusses about the application of various flammability test methods to different home textile merchandises.
