There are several industry standards for flammability testing depending on the type of product being tested. Here are some examples:
1. Textiles and Fabrics: There are several standards for flammability testing of textiles and fabrics, including:
- ASTM D6413: Standard Test Method for Flame Resistance of Textiles (Vertical Test)
- NFPA 701: Standard Methods of Fire Tests for Flame Propagation of Textiles and Films
- ISO 6940: Textiles: Burning behaviour: Vertical method
- ISO 6941: Textiles: Burning behaviour: Horizontal method
2. Building Materials: Flammability testing standards for building materials include:
- ASTM E84: Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials
- UL 94: Tests for Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances
- NFPA 255: Standard Method of Test of Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials
3. Automotive Materials: Flammability testing for automotive materials is typically governed by industry-specific standards such as:
- FMVSS 302: Flammability of Interior Materials for Motor Vehicles
- ISO 3795: Road vehicles, and tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry -- Determination of burning behaviour of interior materials
4. Electronics and Electrical Products: Flammability testing standards for electronics and electrical products include:
- UL 94: Tests for Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances
- IEC 60695-2-10: Fire hazard testing -- Part 2-10: Glowing/hot-wire based test methods -- Glow-wire flammability index (GWFI) test method for materials
- IEC 60695-2-11: Fire hazard testing -- Part 2-11: Glowing/hot-wire based test methods -- Glow-wire ignition temperature (GWIT) test method for materials
These are just a few examples of the industry standards for flammability testing. It's important to select the appropriate standard for the type of product being tested and to follow the testing procedures and requirements outlined in the standard in order to ensure accurate and reliable test results.
