Frequently Asked Questions
CEN/TC 248/WG 24 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Test methods for the flammability of textiles". This committee has published 6 standards.
CEN/TC 248/WG 24 develops CEN standards. Currently, there are 6 published standards from this working group.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
This European Standard specifies a procedure to determine the flame spread of textiles for curtains and drapes by testing a vertically oriented specimen in accordance with EN ISO 6941.

ISO 6940:2004 specifies a method for the measurement of ease of ignition of vertically oriented textile fabrics and industrial products in the form of single or multi-component fabrics (coated, quilted, multilayered, sandwich constructions, and similar combinations), when subjected to a small, defined flame. This method assesses the properties of textile fabrics in response to flame contact under controlled conditions.
