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.
