ISO12949∶2011提供了一种确定床垫或床垫和基础的热释放速率和总热释放的全尺寸试验方法。将试样暴露在一对模拟燃烧床单的气体燃烧器中点燃。测量能力设计用于低可燃性的床垫组，即峰值热释放率低于300 kW。 ISO12949∶2011适用于床垫、床垫和基础设备。ISO 12949:2011不适用于床垫、枕头、毯子或床垫顶部使用的其他物品。 ISO 12949:2011是一项性能标准，没有规定任何特定组件、阻燃化学品或材料的使用，也没有规定任何可能导致床垫性能改善或降低的设计特征。

ISO 12949:2011 provides a full-scale test method for determining the heat release rate and total heat release from a mattress or a mattress and foundation. The test specimen is ignited by exposure to a pair of gas burners that simulate burning bedclothes. The measurement capability is designed for mattress sets of low flammability, i.e. having a peak rate of heat release below 300 kW. ISO 12949:2011 applies to mattresses and mattress and foundation sets. ISO 12949:2011 does not apply to mattress pads, pillows, blankets, or other items used on top of a mattress. ISO 12949:2011 is a performance standard and does not prescribe the use of any specific components, fire retardant chemicals, or materials, and does not prescribe any design features that might lead to improved or degraded performance of a mattress set.
