The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member bod
11、y interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrote
12、chnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO
13、 documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held r

17、 changes compared to the previous edition are as follows: Clause 2 has been updated; Clause 3 has been updated; the precision data have been moved to Annex A.iv ISO 2017 All rights reservedBS ISO 12992:2017ISO 12992:2017(E)IntroductionThin flexible plastic films and sheets are widely used in product
18、s for packaging, building, housing, industries and transport media, in various applications. The burning behaviour, in particular, the vertical flame spread of flexible plastic films and sheet, is a concern for fire safety of these applications. This document gives a method of determination of verti
19、cal flame spread of flexible plastic films and sheets by small flame source.This document is also intended as a pre-selection test for materials used for parts in devices and appliances. The final acceptance of the material would be dependent upon its use in complete equipment that conforms with the
20、 standards applicable to such equipment.It should be noted that the test results obtained alone by the test specified in this document cannot give whole aspects of fire hazard of plastics films and sheets.

28、fication of seat of flame4 Significance of the test4.1 Results obtained using the method described in this document can provide a sensitive measure of the burning characteristics of material under certain controlled laboratory conditions, and hence, may be useful for preselection or quality control
29、purposes.4.2 Results obtained from specimens of differing thickness, with different ignition sources and/or by different procedures are not comparable. Correlation with flammability behaviour under other fire conditions is not implied.4.3 This test is not relevant for specimens which distort away fr
30、om and out of reach of the test flame without ignition. Other test methods should be explored for such specimens.2 ISO 2017 All rights reservedBS ISO 12992:2017ISO 12992:2017(E)4.4 Results obtained by this document shall not be used alone to describe or appraise the fire hazard presented by a partic
31、ular material type or shape under actual fire conditions. The results may be used as one element of a fire risk assessment, which takes into account all the factors which are pertinent to the assessment of the fire hazard of a particular end use for the material.Precision data are given in Annex A.5
32、 Principle5.1 A defined flame from a specified ignition source is applied to film or sheet specimens that are vertically oriented, for a specified period of time.5.2 The flame-spread time (3.2) is recorded and the flame spread rate between these two markings is calculated.5.3 Other properties relati
33、ng to flame propagation, such as flaming droplets, extinguishing characteristics and afterglow, are observed and recorded.6 Apparatus6.1 Laboratory fume hoodThe laboratory fume hood shall have an inside volume of at least 0,5 m3. The chamber shall permit observation of tests in progress and shall be
34、 draught free while allowing normal thermal circulation of air past the test specimen during burning. The inside surfaces of the chamber shall be of a dark colour. When a light meter, facing towards the rear of the chamber, is positioned in place of the test specimen, the recorded light level shall
35、be less than 20 lx.For safety and convenience, this enclosure (which can be completely closed) shall be fitted with an extraction device, such as an exhaust fan, to remove products of combustion that may be toxic. The extraction device shall be turned off during the test and turned on again immediat
36、ely after the test to remove the fire effluents. A positive closing damper may be needed.NOTE The amount of oxygen available to support combustion is naturally important for the conduct of these flame tests. For tests conducted by this method when burning times are protracted, chamber sizes greater
37、than 0,5 m3can be needed to provide reproducible results.6.2 Conditioning room or chamberThe conditioning room or chamber shall be capable of being maintained at (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity.6.3 Specimen holderAs described in Figure 2 to Figure 4, the specimen holder shall be capable of s
38、upporting the specimen securely in a vertical position without excessively stressing it and providing support for marker rods across the front of the specimen.

Two timing devices are required to conduct the test.6.9 Measuring scaleThe measuring instrument shall be gra
46、duated in millimetres to measure the length, width and thickness of the test specimen and the height of the test flame.

48、rs and thicknesses, will be different. For materials with properties which vary over a range, the test specimens shall be representative of the whole range.7.1.2 Test specimens with densities at the extremes of the range shall be tested and, if the test results yield the same flame test classificati
49、on, all specimens within the range shall be considered representative of the range. If the burning characteristics are not essentially the same, the results of the evaluation shall be considered to apply only to materials with the densities tested. Additional test specimens with intermediate densities shall be tested to determine the range of applicability.7.1.3 Uncoloured test specimens and test specimens with the highest level of organic and inorganic pigment loading shall be
