19、mited re propagation without the use of sprinklers. 1.3 Variations from the construction or conditions that are tested are capable of substantially changing the performance characteristics of the plastic. 1.4 This standard is not intended for evaluation of small plastic components used in semi-condu

20、ctor tool constructions such as tubing or wiring. 1.5 This standard does not measure mechanical or structural properties of plastic, and this standard does not measure the hazards from the smoke generated by the plastic material. 1.6 A product that contains features, characteristics, components, mat

21、erials, or systems new or different from those covered by the requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of re or of electric shock or injury to persons shall be evaluated using appropriate additional component and end-product requirements to maintain the level of safety as originally a

22、nticipated by the intent of this standard. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conict with specic requirements or provisions of this standard does not comply with this standard. Revision of requirements shall be proposed and adopted in conformance with the me

23、thods employed for development, revision, and implementation of this standard. 2 General 2.1 Units of measurement 2.1.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 2.2 Undated references 2.2.1 Any undated reference to a cod

24、e or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard.

25、tic material covered by this standard shall be subjected to: a) Four cone calorimeter ignition response tests, see 4.1; b) Three cone calorimeter combustibility tests, see 4.2; and c) Three large scale parallel panel tests, see Parallel Panel Test, Section 5. When the average ame propagation index i

27、ults shall be utilized in determining the classication of the plastic material tested. 4 Cone Calorimeter Tests 4.1 Cone calorimeter ignition response test 4.1.1 Four cone calorimeter ignition response tests are to be conducted in accordance with ASTM E1354- 97 a using a sample size of 3.9 by 3.9 in

The co

30、ne calorimeter ignition response tests are terminated when sustained ignition has occurred. When ignition does not occur at values below 75kW/m 2 , then intermediate radiant heat ux values shall be selected so that at least four cone calorimeter ignition response tests have ame ignition test results

See 4.3 for test calculations. 4.2 Cone calorimeter combustibility tests 4.2.1 Three cone calorimeter combustibilty tests are to be conducted in accordance with ASTM E1354- 97 b using a sample size of 3.9 by 3.9 inches (100 mm by 100 mm) with a thickness representative of the nal product, up tro 2

34、0 kW/m 2 radiant heat ux setting. 4.3 Fire performance calculation methodology 4.3.1 Thermal Response Parameter (TRP) To calculate TRP, the time to ignition date is plotted with 1/ t ig on the y-axis and the radiant heat ux on the x-axis. The equation for TRP is as follows: in which: t ig is the ign

35、ition time at the radiant heat ux and is the radiant heat ux to the sample. A least-square error analysis is used to produce a line (with a slope of m) for the plotted points. Then: 4.3.2 The Fire Propagation Index (FPI) is calculated as follows: in which: MAY 10, 2000 UL 2360 7UL COPYRIGHTED MATERI
