A brief analysis of the test standards and methods for the flame retardant properties of materials

Flame retardant test is a test that many industries need to test at present. There are different test standards and methods for different materials. This article briefly describes the flame retardant test standards and detection methods of building materials from the aspect of building materials. 1. Test methods and standards for flame retardant properties of plastics 2. Test method for combustion characteristics of automotive interior materials FMVSS——U.S. Federal Automotive Safety Standard n SAE——American Society of Mechanical Engineers n ISO 3795——International Standard n GB 8410——China National Standard n and Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Volkswagen, BMW, General Motors, etc. have their own standards. n 3. Test method for fire hazard of electronic and electrical products. Due to fault, abnormal use or wrong operation, the live circuit will cause excessive temperature, short circuit, flashover and other phenomena, thus causing the possibility of fire. Commonly used test methods are:·Glow Wire Test Method Glow Wire Test.·Needle flame test methods IEC and GB/T have corresponding regulations. 4. Summary of test methods for combustion performance of building materials·Combustion test of building materials in the United States ASTM vertical furnace combustion standard nUBC standard on heat release of building materials n UL related standards for surface combustion of building materials· European Union Fire Tests for Building Materials EN Classification of Fire Performance of Structural Products and Building Components. n EN Combustion Response of Building Materials n ISO Non-flammability Test of Building Materials n ISO Determination of Heat of Combustion of Building Products——Radiant heat n·China's relevant fire test of building materials GB classification method of fire performance of building materials—Non-combustibility test n GB/T test method for calorific value of building materials n UL vertical burning UL vertical support test n UL vertical burning test n UL horizontal burning test n IEC vertical burning similar n IEC measurement of combustion gas volume n GB single wire and cable horizontal burning and inclined burning n GB wire and cable fire resistance n Six, fire protection Summary of test methods for fire resistance of coatings Related test methods n GB decorative fire retardant coatings (applicable to intumescent decorative coatings) n There are three common methods: large plate burning method, tunnel burning method and small chamber burning method. n 7.
