BS 6807:2006 - Method of test for assessment of ignitability of mattresses, upholstered bed bases with flaming types of primary and secondary sources of ignition.

The standard is used to assess the ignitability of mattresses, upholstered divans and upholstered bed bases, when subjected to different ignition sources of gas flames and small wooden cribs. The thermal output of the ignition sources shall approximate that of a burning match up to four sheets of a full-size newspaper.

The filling used in domestic mattresses, mattress pads, divans and bed bases (low hazard) are also subjected to Government Regulation the “Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988” with amendments.

In the United Kingdom, all non-domestic mattresses, mattress pads, divans and bed bases, are required to be classified by the hazard categories - low, medium, high and very high risk. Depending on the use of the mattress, mattress pad, divan or bed base, different test standards are referred to by BS 7177.

The tests are performed in a test cabinet with a calibrated air flow. The test specimen is located on top of a steel rig. The ignition sources are located on top of the mattress and on a specified distance below the mattress (the distance varies with the ignition source). There are six different ignition sources, numbered 2-7. ignition sources 2-3 are gas flames and ignition sources 4-7 are wooden cribs (the higher number the larger gas flame/crib).

During the gas flame tests the test assembly is not allowed to smoulder for more than 15 minutes from the start of the test (60 minutes for wooden cribs). The test assembly is not allowed to show evidence of charring more than 100 mm in any horizontal direction from the nearest part of the original position of the ignition source. The gas flames are removed after 40 seconds (ignition source 2) or 70 seconds (ignition source 3). No flaming is allowed to continue for more than 120 seconds after removal of the burner tube. No flaming is allowed to continue for more than 10 minutes after start of the test with ignition source 4-5 (13 minutes with ignition source 6-7).

A test report, in Swedish or English, is delivered with the test results after testing.

Material needed for testing:

 The tests can be performed either in full scale or in small scale.

• Full scale test: 1 mattress with scale 1:1.
• Small scale test:3 test specimens, rectangular in shape and of minimum size 450 mm x 350 mm x nominal thickness of the finished mattress. The type of proposed edge finishing system shall be incorporated, e.g. plain, piped or tape edged. Representative tension shall be maintained in the cover. The proposed mattress finish shall be represented in the test specimen, e.g. tufted or quilted.

We perform accredited testing of radio characteristics for type approval in the EU, USA and Canada and verify and analyse various radio communication equipment requirements.

In order to place a radio product on the European market, it must be CE marked according to the Radio Directive (RED). Among other things, the essential requirement "effective use of spectrum" must be met.

One way to meet this requirement, is to perform testing according to the organization's ETSI harmonized standards. If such standards are not available, an "EC-type examination certificate" issued by a notified body, Notified Body (NB) is required. RISE is a Notified Body for the Radio Directive.

Accredited radio tests from Hz to GHz

We offer accredited radio testing according to the most common European standards (ETSI) for both analogue and digital radio equipment from the low frequency Hz range up to the microwave range (GHz).

FCC testing for the US market

For the US market, it is a requirement that all radio transmitters must be certified / type-approved by the US frequency authority, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). RISE is approved for FCC testing of the most common radio equipment over the frequency range 9 kHz to 220 GHz.

Radio transmitters for placement in the US and Canadian markets

RISE, as the only one in Sweden, has been appointed by the FCC to be a TCB (Telecommuncation Certification Body). This means that we have the opportunity to perform the certification required by the FCC for radio transmitters and thus issue approval for the US market.

We can also perform equivalent tests for Canada (ISED) and assist with certifications / approvals (FCB) for the Canadian market.

RISE is a "Recognized laboratory" for both FCC and ISED.

EMC testing of radio transmitters

EMC testing of radio transmitters consists of two parts. Emission requirements, which impose requirements on what the equipment sends out for undesirable emissions on cables and power supply, as well as immunity requirements which impose requirements on the interference resistance of radio equipment. Testing is performed both radiated and conducted on external cables.

RISE can offer accredited EMC testing according to the most common parts of the standard series ETSI EN 301 489 and other international EMC standards. We also have long experience of EMC testing in specific areas such as military and vehicle testing.

RISE provides a test report with accreditation status that confirms that a third party testing institute has tested your products in accordance with applicable directives and / or standards.

RISE offers type testing and quality assurance of wood-burning stoves and pellet stoves, as well as inserts, cookers and tiles toves (heavy fireplaces). RISE's combustion laboratory is SWEDAC accredited and offers measurement of performance and emissions as well as safety tests.

New fireplaces, inserts and stoves that use solid fuels, such as wood, pellets and briquettes, must now have an energy label. The idea of ​​energy labeling is to make it easier for consumers to make energy-smart choices, so that they can choose an efficient product with low wood or pellet consumption. In addition, in 2020 and 2022, energy labeling was supplemented by an eco-design requirement from the EU with requirements for efficiency and emissions, which will reduce emissions from small-scale biofuel heating. Properly used and with efficient equipment, small-scale biofuel burning can help achieve climate and energy policy goals, since the fuel is renewable.

Testing is carried out in RISE's own combustion lab in Borås by experienced staff. We offer tests that can be used by manufacturers as a basis for CE marking of their products.

Accredited testing of luminous flux for lamps, light sources and luminaires. 

Luminous flux is often an important parameter in the marketing of a light source. An accredited test provides a precise value of the luminous flux and luminous efficacy of the light source. We also perform long term lumen maintenance testing which shows how the luminous flux decreases with time in order to evaluate the expected lifetime of the light source. 

Luminous flux and related quantities are measured in accordance with an internal method which is based on existing international standards and recommendations. 

The luminous flux is measured in an integrating sphere with either 1,5 m or 3 m diameter depeding on the size of the light source. 

The electrical parameters of the light source are also measured as well as the relative light spectrum which is used to calculate the corrolated colour temperature, colour rendering index and colour coordiantes of the light source. 

The results are presented in a test report in english which states that the test was performed as an accredited test.

RISE erbjuder typprovning och kvalitetssäkring av vedpannor, pelletspannor, vedkaminer, pelletskaminer och pelletsbrännare. Vi genomför mätning av prestanda och utsläpp. Vi erbjuder ett oberoende, nationellt unikt och ackrediterat testlabb med erfarna medarbetare.

Nya vedpannor och pelletspannor som använder fasta bränslen, exempelvis ved, pellets och briketter måste ha en energimärkning. Tanken med energimärkningen är att det ska bli lättare för konsumenter att göra energismarta val, så att de kan välja en effektiv produkt med låg ved- eller pelletsförbrukning. 2020 kompletterades energimärkningen med ett ekodesignkrav från EU med krav på effektivitet och emissioner, vilket ska minska utsläppen från småskalig eldning. Rätt använt och med effektiv utrustning kan småskalig fastbränsleeldning bidra till att uppnå klimat- och energipolitiska mål, eftersom bränslet är förnybart.

Provning utförs i RISE egna förbränningslabb i Borås av erfarna medarbetare. Vi erbjuder provningar som kan användas av tillverkare som underlag för CE-märkningar av sina produkter. Våra medarbetare är aktiva inom standardiseringsarbeten, vilket ger oss god insyn i andra länders regelverk.
