Principle:
A specimen of the fabric to be tested is oriented vertically. A flame is applied to it to determine the burning behaviour.Test method
The test specimen is placed in a vertical metal frame. A flame is applied to the surface and to the bottom edge of a test sample. It is observed whether ignition occurs. After flame time, burn-through to the edges, burning droplets (by means of a cotton wool pad), the charred length and the possibility of surface flash are observed.Result
The test material passes the test if it shows following characteristics:
- afterflame time maximum 5s
- no burn-through to any edges
- no ignition of the cotton wool pad
- average char length maximum 150mm
- no occurrence of a surface flash propagating more than 1mm
