# §1616.1. Scope and application.

- (a) This Standard provides a test method to determine the flammability of children's sleepwear, sizes 7 through 14 and fabric or related material intended or promoted for use in such children's sleepwear.
- (b) All sleepwear items as defined in [§ 1616.2(c)](/cfr/16/1616.2.md?p=c), are subject to the requirements of this Standard.
- (c) Children's sleepwear items which meet all the requirements of the Standard for the Flammability of Children's Sleepwear: Sizes 0 through 6X (FF 3-71) ([subpart A of part 1615](/cfr/16/part1615-subpartA.md) of this chapter) are in compliance with this Standard. FF 3-71 was issued July 29, 1971 (36 FR 14062), and amended July 21, 1972 (37 FR 14624).
