Take a look at:

BS 5852 (Section 4 1990) Part II, Methods of test for assessment of the ingnitability of upholstered seating by smouldering and flaming ignition sources

crib 5 is one of the test ignition sources against which furniture and furnishings are tested. Crib 5 IIRC is the standard for residential care homes.
I believe BS5852 was updated this March but dont have a copy of the update.
