The safety of carpets and rugs is of paramount importance, especially in terms of fire safety. Therefore, accurately testing the surface flammability performance of carpets and rugs is a critical step to both improve product quality and ensure the safety of consumers. In our laboratory, we perform surface flammability tests of carpets and rugs in accordance with 16 CFR 1630 standard. This test minimizes potential fire risks by measuring the fire resistance of carpets and rugs.
Application Process of the Surface Ignition Test
During this test, carpets and rugs are exposed to a source of fire at a specific temperature. The test measures how long the flame remains on the carpet and how quickly the flames begin to spread. This provides clear information about the product’s fire resistance and safety.
16 CFR 1630 Standard and the Importance of Flammability Testing
16 CFR 1630 is a standard in the United States that specifies the non-flammability properties of carpets and rugs. This standard tests the safety of carpets against surface flammability and prevents products that pose a fire risk from being sold on the market. Conducting tests in accordance with these standards guarantees that carpets and rugs comply with international legal requirements. Supporting your CE approved products with these tests provides a competitive advantage and increases your credibility in the international market.
CE Approved and Legally Compliant Products
Products that successfully pass the 16 CFR 1630 test can be offered to the European market with CE approval. This approval shows that the products have high standards in terms of fire safety and meet legal requirements. This ensures both consumer safety and legal compliance when marketing your products.

Improving Product Quality and Ensuring Safety
Surface ignition tests measure how fire-resistant carpets and rugs are, while also improving the quality of the product. The risk of using products that do not pass fire safety tests is quite high. These tests offer consumers a safe use and at the same time prove to manufacturers that their products are of high quality.
Contribution to Environmental and Human Health
Fire resistance of carpets and rugs is important not only for fire safety, but also for the environment and human health. Avoiding the damages caused by fires is the key to creating an environmentally friendly and healthy living space. Thanks to these tests, it is possible to protect against damages that may occur both during and after a fire.
Results Obtained in the Test Process and Reporting
Results and Reporting from the Testing Process Data from the tests provide detailed reports on the safety performance of carpets and rugs. These reports show the level of fire resistance of the products, while also providing an important reference for manufacturers, retailers and importers to ensure legal compliance. By having your products tested, you gain a competitive advantage and gain customer confidence by proving your quality.
Gain Competitive Advantage with Testing
Products that comply with safety standards, are CE approved and fire resistant provide a significant competitive advantage in the market. If your carpets and rugs pass surface ignition tests, your product creates an image that prioritizes quality and safety. In this way, you can reach more customers and increase brand value.
