The fire performance of a product depends on the materials from which it is made, the design of the produc
32、t and its environment.Industry needs to test products used for different applications for regulatory, quality control, development and pre-selection purposes.Numerous regulations and regional, state and local codes make reference to combustibility tests and standards, and ranking of products derived
33、 from these tests are the most commonly available means of comparing the various combustion characteristics of products. More than one test and possibly intermediate- or full-scale tests may be necessary to qualify products containing plastics for intended or proposed use or representative product e

Such plastics can be elastomers, fibres or foams (cellular materials) and can contain additives (including fibre rei

47、 for air ventilation systems in e.g. ships, trains, aircraft; containers for liquids (e.g. oil, kerosene); waste containers (for recycling materials or for rubbish).NOTE This list is not exhaustive.2 ISO 2014 All rights reservedCopyright British Standards Institution Provided by IHS under license wi
