Flooring Radiant Panel Test — FRP

Measures the critical radiant flux of horizontally mounted floor covering systems exposed to a flaming ignition source in a graded radiant heat environment.

Reaction to fire tests for building products — Horizontal surface spread of flame for floor coverings

Flooring Radiant Panel apparatus test equipment

Test overview

The FRP is used to measure the critical radiant flux of horizontally mounted floor covering systems exposed to a flaming ignition source in a graded radiant heat environment. It can also be used to measure this same critical radiant flux for exposed attic floor cellulose insulation.

A smoke measuring system based on DIN 50055 is mounted on a separate frame in the exhaust stack and is used to measure smoke generated in the test.
