22、the generation of heat (thermal hazard), and also toxic effluent, corrosive effluent and smoke (non-thermal hazard). Fire hazard increases with the burning area leading in some cases to flashover and a fully developed fire. This is a typical fire scenario in buildings. The surface spread of flame be
23、yond the area of ignition occurs as a result of the creation of a pyrolysis front on the surface of the material, ahead of the flame front, arising from the heating by the flame and external heat sources. The pyrolysis front is the boundary between pyrolysed material and unpyrolysed material on the
24、surface of the material. Combustible vapours are generated within the region of pyrolysed material, which mix with air and ignite, creating the flame front. The surface spread of flame rate is the distance travelled by the flame front divided by the time required to travel that distance. The surface
25、 spread of flame rate depends on the heat supplied externally and/or by the flame of the burning material ahead of the burning zone and on the ease of ignition. The ease of ignition is a function of the minimum ignition temperature, thickness, density, specific heat, and thermal conductivity of the
26、material. The heat supplied by the flame depends on the heat release rate, specimen orientation, air flow rate and air flow direction relative to the surface spread of flame direction. In general, materials show one of the following types of surface spread of flame behaviour: a) non-propagation: the
27、re is no flame propagation beyond the area of ignition; b) decelerating propagation: flame propagation stops before reaching the end of the surface of the material; and c) propagation: flame propagates beyond the area of ignition and eventually affects the entire surface of the material. Properties
28、of the materials that are used to describe the surface spread of flame behaviour are associated with surface preheating and pyrolysis, generation of vapours, mixing of the vapours with air, ignition, combustion of the mixture and generation of heat and combustion products. Flame retardants and surfa
29、ce treatments are used to modify the surface spread of flame behaviour. Factors that need to be considered for the assessment of the surface spread of flame behaviour of materials are: 1) the fire scenario (including such parameters as surface orientation, ventilation and the nature of the ignition
30、source); 2) measurement techniques (see 5.5); and 3) the use and interpretation of results obtained (see 6).
