In 2006, the United States government implemented a federal standard that requires mattress manufacturers to subject their products to controlled "open flame testing" at government approved facilities. This is also known as CPSC 16 CFR Part 1633, Standard for the Flammability (Open Flame) of Mattress Sets; Final Rule. The mattresses are ignited by a torch and need to burn, but not spread, for a specified length of time in order to pass the testing. Only then will the manufacturer, importer, or reseller be permitted to distribute the product to consumers."Why was this law set in place?"The main purpose behind the law is to ensure consumer safety. If, for example, a burning cigarette is dropped, mattresses that pass the testing will bear smaller sized fires with slower growth rates, reducing the possibility of rapid spreading. This gives you time to distinguish the fire, or in the worst case, get out of the house before the fire spreads and you get hurt."Has Novosbed passed CFR 1633 testing?"Of course!
