COMMENTARYX1.1 IntroductionIt has been shown that the carefulreplication of realistic fire scenarios is the most appropriatemeans of fire testing of products and systems. However, this isnot always achievable within the confines of a

49、standard testmethod.X1.2 The use of any standard fire test method intrinsicallycarries some limitations, including the source of heat or flame,the specimen size and orientation, the specimen location andthe fire-test-response characteristics measured.X1.3 Fire tests on reflective insulation, sheet radiant barriersand vinyl stretch ceiling materials are often conducted by usingTest Method E84.X1.3.1 The source of heat and flame in Test Method E84 isa set of two gas burners supplying approximately 300 000BTU/h (87.9 kW) onto the test specimen from underneath fora perio
