Textile test methods — Flame resistance — Vertically oriented textile fabric or fabric assembly test
Scope:
Please note the following NOI has been withdrawn on 2019-02-12 as requested by the responsible SDO.
This method determines the burning behaviour of vertically oriented flame-resistant textile fabrics. The specimens tested may be a single layer of fabric, a composite or an assembly of two or more layers. This method provides two configurations for exposing the specimen to a flame: surface ignition (with the burner perpendicular to the surface of the specimen) and edge ignition (with the burner inclined at 30° to the vertical towards the lower edge of the specimen). This method provides two procedures for determining the extent of flame spread. One procedure requires a visual observation of whether or not the flame reaches any edge of the specimen; the other procedure uses a specified force to produce a tear in the damaged area, the length of the tear is reported as the damaged length. Agencies applying this method may require either or both procedures to be reported.
