9、bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizat
10、ions, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in th
11、e ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of
12、the member bodies casting a vote. 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 responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 9239-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 92, Fire safe
13、ty, Subcommittee SC 1, Fire initiation and growth. ISO 9239 consists of the following parts, under the general title Reaction to fire tests for floorings: Part 1: Determination of the burning behaviour using a radiant heat source Part 2: Determination of flame spread at a heat flux level of 25 kW/m
14、2ISO 9239-2:2002(E) ISO 2002 All rights reserved vIntroduction ISO/TR 5658-1 describes the development of standard tests for flame spread and explains the theory of flame spread, including horizontal flame spread over floorings. Floorings are not readily involved in fires but if fire develops due to
15、 other contents of a building burning, then floorings may ignite and it is necessary to be able to determine whether the flooring will propagate flames. This part of ISO 9239 provides a simple method by which horizontal surface spread of flame on a horizontal specimen can be determined for comparati
16、ve purposes. Fire is a complex phenomenon: its behaviour and its effects depend upon a number of interrelated factors. The behaviour of materials and products depends upon the characteristics of the fire, the method of the use of the materials and the environment in which they are exposed. The philo
17、sophy of “reaction to fire” tests is explained in ISO/TR 3814. A test such as is specified in this part of ISO 9239 deals only with a simple representation of a particular aspect of the potential fire situation typified by a radiant heat source and flame; it cannot alone provide any direct guidance
18、on behaviour or safety in fire. CAUTION: The possibility of a gas-air fuel explosion in the test chamber should be recognized. Suitable safeguards consistent with sound engineering practice should be installed in the panel fuel supply system. These should include at least the following: a gas feed c
19、ut-off which is immediately activated when air and/or gas supply fail; a temperature sensor or a flame detection unit directed at the panel surface that stops fuel flow when the panel flame goes out. Attention is drawn to the possibility that toxic or harmful gases may be produced during exposure of
20、 the specimens. In view of the potential hazard from products of combustion, the exhaust system shall be designed and operated so that the laboratory environment is protected from smoke and gas. The operator shall be instructed to minimize his exposure to combustion products by following sound safet
21、y practice, e.g., ensuring that the exhaust system is working properly, wearing appropriate clothing etc. The operator should also be aware that the walls and fittings of the test chamber become hot during the test and gloves should be worn to avoid burns.

22、SO 2002 All rights reserved 1Reaction to fire tests for floorings Part 2: Determination of flame spread at a heat flux level of 25 kW/m 21 Scope This part of ISO 9239 specifies a method for assessing the burning behaviour of horizontally mounted flooring systems exposed to a heat flux gradient in a
23、test chamber, when ignited with pilot flames. The radiant heat gradient is higher than the one described in ISO 9239-1 in order to simulate conditions in a corridor adjacent to a room containing a fully developed fire (post-flashover). This method is applicable to all types of flooring such as texti
24、le carpets, cork, wood, rubber and plastic coverings as well as coatings. Results obtained by this method reflect the performance of the flooring, including any substrate if used. Modifications of the backing, bonding to a substrate, underlay, or other changes of the flooring may affect test results
25、. This part of ISO 9239 is applicable to the measurement and description of the properties of floorings in response to heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions. It should not be used alone to describe or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of floorings under actual fire conditions. 2
