Standard test method for assessing the ignition propensity of cigarettes (ISO 12863:2010)
ISO 12863:2010 provides a standard assessment of the capability of a cigarette, positioned on one of three standard substrates, to extinguish or to generate sufficient heat to continue burning, and thus potentially cause ignition of bedding or upholstered furniture. ISO 12863:2010 is applicable to factory-made cigarettes that burn along the length of a tobacco column. This is a performance-based standard; it does not prescribe any design features of the cigarette that might lead to improved or degraded performance in the test method. The output of this method has been correlated with the potential for cigarettes to ignite upholstered furniture.
Normprüfverfahren zur Beurteilung der Zündneigung von Zigaretten (ISO 12863:2010)
Diese Internationale Norm beschreibt ein Beurteilungsverfahren für die Fähigkeit einer Zigarette, auf einem
von drei Standardsubstraten entweder zu verlöschen oder ausreichend Wärme zu entwickeln, um den
Abbrand fortzusetzen und dadurch möglicherweise die Entzündung von Bettwäsche oder gepolsterten Möbeln
hervorzurufen. Diese Internationale Norm gilt für fabrikmäßig hergestellte Zigaretten, die entlang der Länge
eines Tabakstrangs abbrennen. Es handelt sich um eine Prüfnorm, die keine Gestaltungscharakteristika der
Zigarette vorschreibt, die zu einer Verbesserung oder Verschlechterung der Testergebnisse im Prüfverfahren
führen könnten. Das Ergebnis dieses Verfahrens ist mit der Neigung von Zigaretten, Polstermöbel zu
entzünden, korreliert worden..
Méthode d'essai normalisée pour évaluer le potentiel incendiaire des cigarettes (ISO 12863:2010)
L'ISO 12863:2010 fournit une évaluation normalisée de la capacité d'une cigarette, positionnée sur un des trois substrats normalisés, à s'éteindre ou à générer suffisamment de chaleur pour continuer à se consumer et, par conséquent, à potentiellement mettre le feu à la literie ou aux meubles rembourrés. L'ISO 12863:2010 s'applique aux cigarettes manufacturées se consumant sur la longueur d'une colonne de tabac. Il s'agit d'une norme fondée sur les performances; elle ne décrit pas les caractéristiques de conception de la cigarette susceptibles d'aboutir à des performances supérieures ou inférieures selon la méthode d'essai. Le résultat de cette méthode a été corrélé avec le potentiel des cigarettes à incendier les meubles rembourrés.
Standardna preskusna metoda za ocenjevanje nagnjenosti k vžigu cigaret (ISO 12863:2010)
Ta mednarodni standard zagotavlja standardno ocenjevanje sposobnosti cigarete, ki je postavljena na eni od treh standardnih podlag, da ugasne ali da ustvari zadostno toploto, da gori še naprej in tako morebiti povzroči vžig posteljne opreme ali oblazinjenega pohištva. Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za industrijsko proizvedene cigarete, ki gorijo po dolžini stolpca tobaka. Ta standard temelji na rezultatih; ne predpisuje kakršnih koli konstrukcijskih značilnosti cigarete, ki bi lahko vodile k izboljšanim ali poslabšanim rezultatom pri preskusni metodi. Rezultat te metode je povezan s potencialom cigarete, da vname oblazinjeno pohištvo.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 12863 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 92, Fire safety, Subcommittee SC 1, Fire initiation
and growth.

Introduction
A very common initiating event in a fatal fire is the dropping of a cigarette onto a bed or piece of upholstered
furniture. The burning cigarette heats the furnishing materials to the point where smouldering combustion
begins, perhaps followed by a transition to flaming combustion. Since limiting the frequency of ignitions is a
principal approach to reducing fire loss, it is desirable to establish a test method for the propensity of a
cigarette to ignite soft furnishings.
