Reaction-to-fire testing for construction products exposed to thermal attack from a single burning item.
Reaction to fire tests for building products excluding floorings exposed to thermal attack by a single burning item
The specimen is mounted on a trolley that is positioned in a frame beneath an exhaust system. The reaction of the specimen to the burner is monitored instrumentally and visually. Heat and smoke release rates are calculated, and physical characteristics are assessed by observation.
The parameters that are quantified in this test and used within the classification criteria are Total Heat Release (THR), Fire Growth Rate Index (FIGRA) and Smoke Growth Rate Index (SMOGRA).
Sample dimensions, quantities, mounting, substrate and conditioning requirements for this test are confirmed with you before testing begins. Contact our technical team for the sample requirements for your product.
EN ISO 11925-2
Determines the ignitability of building products in the vertical orientation when subjected to impingement of a standard small flame.
EN ISO 1182
Determines the non-combustibility performance of homogeneous products and substantial components of non-homogeneous building products.
EN ISO 1716
Determines the potential maximum total heat release of a product when completely burning, regardless of its end use.
EN ISO 9239-1
Measures the critical radiant flux of horizontally mounted floor covering systems exposed to a flaming ignition source in a graded radiant heat environment.
Send us a datasheet or a short description of your product and we will tell you exactly which tests apply, before any testing is booked.
