PLAYING WITH FIRE.

- Abstract
The article offers information on the promotion of textile flammability standards. It states that for textile manufacturers the only things which forward flammability testing are regulatory requirements and product liability concerns. It is also a challenge for textile manufacturers to comply to all the potential applicable flammability standards. Moreover, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), an independent federal regulatory agency, is responsible in the implementation of federal flammability standards.
