Beds are a prevalent combustible in fatal fires in the United States effective 1 July 2007, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission promulgated a standard to severely reduce the heat release rate and the early heat output from mattresses and foundations when ignited by a flaming ignition source. This study estimates the Standard's success over its first decade using fire incidence, US population, and mattress sales data. The technique mitigates the influence of some exogenous factors that might have changed during this decade. The Standard is accomplishing its purpose, preventing approximately 65 fatalities (out of an estimated 95 fatalities in 2002‐2005) from bed fires annually during 2015‐2016, although not all pre‐Standard mattresses had yet been replaced. Compared to residential upholstered furniture fires, which were not affected by the Standard, the numbers of bed fires decreased by 12%, injuries by 34%, and deaths by 82% between 2005‐2006 and 2015‐2016. Per bed fire, injuries decreased by 25% and fatalities decreased by 67%, indicating that the severity of bed fires is being reduced.

评估床垫消防安全标准 16 CFR Part 1633 对床火灾结果的影响

自 2007 年 7 月 1 日起，床是美国致命火灾中普遍存在的可燃物，美国消费品安全委员会颁布了一项标准，以严重降低床垫和地基在被燃烧的火源点燃时的热释放率和早期热量输出。这项研究使用火灾发生率、美国人口和床垫销售数据估计了标准在其第一个十年的成功。该技术减轻了在这十年中可能发生变化的一些外在因素的影响。该标准正在实现其目的，在 2015-2016 年期间每年防止大约 65 人死亡（2002-2005 年估计有 95 人死亡），尽管并非所有标准前的床垫都已更换。与住宅软垫家具火灾相比，在不受标准影响的情况下，2005-2006 年至 2015-2016 年间，床位火灾数量下降了 12%，受伤人数下降了 34%，死亡人数下降了 82%。每发生一次床位火灾，受伤人数减少 25%，死亡人数减少 67%，表明床位火灾的严重程度正在降低。
