The Standard reaches the FABRIC as well as the finished garment, where the material is intended or promoted for sleepwear use — so a mill selling into that end use is inside it. The pass criteria are measured on five specimens: an average char length not exceeding 17.8 cm (7.0 in), and no individual specimen reaching the full-specimen limit.

The flammability standards for clothing textiles and vinyl plastic film — 16 CFR parts 1610 and 1611 — are superseded by this part insofar as they apply to items defined in § 1615.1(d).

Recorded because reading this register's 16 CFR 1610 record alongside this one would otherwise suggest two tests where the regulation says one. For an item inside 1615 the general Class 1/2/3 clothing standard steps aside; it does not apply in addition.
Quoted from § 1615.2(c).
This is a register, not advice. It records what an instrument says and when it applies. Whether it applies to a particular company, product or shipment is a question for somebody who knows that business, and the answer is frequently not what the summary above would suggest.
