We are looking to procure some bean bags for our university and the supplier has confirmed that those that they supply have been tested in accordance with the BS5852 part 1:1979, Cigarette test and the BS5852 part 1:1979, match test (i have seen the certification for this) Does anyone know if the BS5852 is the correct testing standard or if another should be used instead?

Many thanks for this. So would you say that, bearing in mind its a smoke free environment, that the furtniture would be better complying with the BS5852 1982 and 2006 examples that you provided?
