The Association for Contract Textiles (ACT) is a non-profit trade association that sets up industrial standards related to contract fabrics. Their guidelines specify the tests that are necessary for a textile to be certified depending on its construction and intended use. The flammability test examines how a fabric will perform when it is exposed to flames or other sources of ignition. The ACT icon for flammability is given to woven, coated, and knit products. The detailed testing standards are found below.
