    (a) Purpose. This part 1633 establishes flammability requirements 
that all mattress sets must meet before sale or introduction into 
commerce. The purpose of the standard is to reduce deaths and injuries 
associated with mattress fires by limiting the size of the fire 
generated by a mattress set during a thirty minute test.
    (b) Scope. (1) All mattress sets, as defined in Sec.  1633.2(c), 
manufactured, imported, or renovated on or after the effective date of 
this standard are subject to the requirements of the standard.
    (2) One-of-a-kind mattress sets may be exempted from testing under 
this standard in accordance with Sec.  1633.13(c).
    (c) Applicability. The requirements of this part 1633 shall apply to 
each ``manufacturer'' (as that term is defined in Sec.  1633.2(k)) of 
mattress sets which are manufactured for sale in commerce.
