21、E)ForewordISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards 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
22、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 Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matter
23、s 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 documents should be noted. This docum
24、ent 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 responsible for identifying any or all suc
25、h patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does
26、 not constitute an endorsement.For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISOs adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary Informat
27、ion The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 4, Burning behaviour.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 13927:2001), which has been technically revised.

28、nFire is a complex phenomenon; its behaviour and effects depend upon a number of interrelated factors. The behaviour of materials and products depends upon the characteristics of the fire, the method of use of the materials, and the environment in which they are exposed (see also ISO 13943).A test s
29、uch as the one specified in this International Standard deals only with a simple representation of a particular aspect of the potential fire situation, typified by a radiant heat source, and it cannot alone provide any direct guidance on the behaviour or safety in fire. A test of this type can, howe
30、ver, be used for comparative purposes or to ensure the existence of a certain quality of performance (in this case, heat release from a composite material or an assembly) considered to have a bearing on fire performance generally. It would be wrong to attach any other meaning to performance in this
31、test.The attention of all users of this test is drawn to the warning that immediately precedes Clause 10.vi ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 13927:2015Plastics Simple heat release test using a conical radiant heater and a thermopile detector1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies a method
32、suitable for the production control or product development purposes for assessing the heat release rate of essentially flat products exposed in the horizontal orientation to controlled levels of radiant heating with an external igniter. The heat release rate is determined by the use of a thermopile
33、instead of the more accurate oxygen consumption techniques. The time to ignition (sustained flaming) is also measured in this test. Test specimen mass loss can also be measured optionally.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document

The output (in mV) which represents temperatu
41、re (in C) is converted into heat release rate per unit area (in kW/m2) by use of a calibration graph obtained previously by burning methane gas of known calorific value in the same apparatus. The specimen mass loss rate during the test can also be measured by continuously recording the specimen load

45、e shape of a truncated cone (see Figure 2). The heater shall be encased on the outside with a double-walled, stainless-steel cone filled between the walls with a refractory blanket of nominal thickness 13 mm and nominal density 100 kg/m3. The heat flux from the heater shall be maintained at a pre-se
46、t level by controlling the average temperature of three type K sheathed stainless-steel thermocouples symmetrically disposed and in contact with, but not welded to the heater element (see Figure 2). 1,0 mm to 1,6 mm outside diameter sheathed (unearthed) thermocouples with an unexposed hot junction m
47、ay be used. The heater shall be capable of producing heat fluxes on the surface of the specimen of up to 75 kW/m2. The heat flux shall be uniform within the central 50 mm 50 mm area of the exposed specimen surface to within 2 % for an irradiance of 50 kW/m2.The cone heater shall be provided with a r
