Recently, Baker et al. [1] conducted a programme of furniture calorimeter experiments of a mock-up armchair made of polyurethane (PU) foam. In three repeated experimental runs the ignition time and the heat release rate of the armchair were recorded. A gas burner with 100 kW output at a distance of 300 mm was used as ignition source. The objective of this research
