The regulation at 16 CFR Part 1632 prescribes requirements for testing prototype designs of mattresses and mattress pads to assess ignition resistance to smoldering cigarettes. The standard requires manufacturers to maintain records concerning the mattress or mattress pad prototype, testing results, and substitute materials. The regulation at 16 CFR Part 1633 establishes requirements to test mattress prototypes using a flaming ignition source (a pair of propane burners) that represents burning bedclothes. The standard requires manufacturers to maintain certain records to document compliance with the standard, including records concerning prototype testing, pooling, and confirmation testing, and quality assurance procedures and any associated testing for open-flame ignition sources.

Combined the burden from 16 CFR 1633 (previously under OMB control number 3041-0133) with the burden from 16 CFR 1632 (OMB control number 3041-0014). OMB control number 3041-0133 will be cancelled following approval of this request. Cost burden has been eliminated due to correction of previous error in mislabeling hourly burden as cost burden.
