4.1 FLAMMABILITY USA

4.1.1 16 CFR 1610 STANDARD FOR THE FLAMMABILITY OF CLOTHING TEXTILES (ADULT AND CHILD)

Mandatory for: all adult and children’s clothing (excluding sleepwear for children).

Mandatory certification: for children only. Issued by a notified body (CPSC approved laboratory).

Test: the test (16 CFR 1610) is to be performed on either the fabrics (before cutting and sewing) or the finished garment. Exceptions: the standard does not apply to the following items:

- hats - gloves (not longer than 14 inches ~ 35,6 cm)

- footwear - interlinings

Additionally, the following are exempt from flammability testing (but subject to certification):

- textiles with a plain surface superior to 2.6 ounces per square yard (~88 g/m2). NB: carefully asses the effective textile weight

- textiles either with a plain or raised surface, obtained totally or with a combination of the following fibers, regardless of weight: acrylic, modacrylic, nylon, olefin, polyester, wool

Requirements: The method provides for 3 flammability classes determined by their burning time:

- Class 1 = normal flammability

- Class 2 = intermediate flammability

- Class 3 = rapid and intense flammability.

CLASS PLAIN SURFACE TEXTILE FABRICS (*) RAISED SURFACE TEXTILE FABRICS (**)

Flame spread is less than 4.0 seconds with base burn (127 mm fabric sample)

4.1.2 16 CFR 1611 STANDARD FOR THE FLAMMABILITY OF VINYL PLASTIC FILM

Mandatory for: textile base with plastic film coating ≤ 0.254 mm used in the manufacture of adult and children apparel

Mandatory certification: yes, accredited CPSC laboratory

Requirements: Plastic films used in the manufacture of apparel with a thickness of ≤ 0.254 mm; textile base with plastic film coating (test 16 CFR 1610 on textile base) → Flame spread < 3 cm / sec.

Mandatory certification: yes, accepted testing laboratory CPSC

Requirements: Children’s sleepwear must be:

- flame resistant and self-extinguishing based on laboratory tests; or

- tight fitting and in compliance with standards 16 CFR 1610 and 16 CFR 1611.

Tight-fitting garment means a garment which:

- does not exceed the maximum dimensions (chest, waist, seat, upper arm, thigh, wrist, or ankle) specified by the standard

- has no item of fabric, ornamentation or trim, which extends more than 0 635 cm (1/4 inch)

- has sleeves which diminish in width gradually from the top of the shoulder to the wrist

- has legs which diminish gradually in width between the thigh and the ankle

- in the case of a one-piece garment, has a width which diminish gradually from the chest to the waist, and from the seat to the waist

- in the case of a two-piece garment, has an upper piece with a width which diminish gradually from the chest to the bottom of that piece; in the case of an upper piece with fastenings, have the lowest fastening within 15 2 centimeters of the bottom of that piece

- bears a label stating the size of the garment

- bears a label stating that the garment is not flame resistant and must be worn tightly since loose-fitting garments are more likely to catch fire.

CHILDREN

The regulation SOR / 2016-169 Children's Sleepwear regulations gives provisions regarding the flammability for home and children's clothing. The standard distinguish between two categories of clothing: loose-fitting sleepwear5 and tight-fitting sleepwear6, for which there are separate requirements:

A. TIGHT-FITTING SLEEPWEAR REQUIREMENTS:

Flame spread must be greater than seven seconds. Flame spread time should be in accordance with standard CAN/CGSB-4.2 No.27.5 Textile Test Methods: Flame Resistance - 45° Angle Test - One-Second Flame Impingement.

B. LOOSE-FITTING SLEEPWEAR REQUIREMENTS:

Must have:

an average char length7 for five specimens that does not exceed 178 mm not more than one specimen with a char length8 equal to the full length of the specimen Test method is described in SOR/2016-169 Annex 1.

In addition, garments treated with flame retardants must undergo toxicity tests in order to exclude the presence of toxic elements that can lead to erythema formation, edema formation, gene mutation, chromosomal aberration and cancer. For further details, see SOR / 2016-169 Annex 2.

Presence of flame retardant must be declared on a label that is permanently affixed to garments that displays in a clear and legible manner the words “flame retardant” and “ignifugeant”; moreover, label must contain instructions for the care of the sleepwear, particularly cleaning procedures, to ensure that it is not exposed to agents or treatments that could reduce its flame resistance.

 SOR/2016-194 Textile flammability regulations, provides instruction on flame spread times for textile products: the flame spread time for textile products without a raised fibre surface must be greater than 3.5 seconds; the flame spread time for textile products with a raised fibre surface that exhibits ignition or fusion of its base fibres must be greater than 4 seconds The flame spread time must be determined according to the standard CAN/CGSB-4.2 No. 27.5, Textile Test Methods: Flame Resistance 45° Angle Test OneSecond Flame Impingement.
