I have been operating under the federal cigarette-ignition standard (16 CFR 1632) for many years. Does compliance with TB603 mean that I no longer need to comply with it?
You will need to pass both the cigarette-ignition test under 16 CFR 1632 and the open-flame test under TB603. A product that is open-flame resistant might not be cigarette-ignition resistant and vice versa since the fire dynamics are very different, so both types of ignitions hazards must be protected against. As a result, a producer selling in California would need to comply with both the federal and the California requirements.
