ASTM D3801 Test for Comparative Combustion Properties of Solid Plastics in Vertical Position

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D3801 standard. This standard specifies a small-scale laboratory procedure for determining the comparative combustion properties of solid-plastic material using a 20 mm (50 W) premixed flame applied to the bottom of specimens held in a vertical position.

ASTM D3801 Test for Comparative Combustion Properties of Solid Plastics in Vertical Position

This test method and ANSI/UL 94's 20 mm (50W) Vertical Burn Test (V-0, V-1 or V-2) are equivalent.

This test method has been developed for polymeric materials used for parts in devices and devices. The results are intended to serve as a preliminary indicator of their flammability acceptability for a given application. The final acceptance of the material is dependent on its use in the complete equipment that complies with the standards applicable to the equipment in question.

The classification system described in the annex is designed for quality assurance and pre-selection of component materials for products.

It is possible that this test is applicable to non-metallic materials other than plastics. Such application is beyond the scope of this technical committee.

This test method is used for building construction, finishing or wall and floor coverings, furniture, decorative objects, etc. It does not cover plastics when used for contents such as In addition, fire resistance (in terms of hourly rating), flame spread, smoke characterization and heat release rate are not evaluated by this test. Other fire tests are available and will be used to evaluate the flammability of materials in this intended end-use product configuration.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

This standard is used to measure and describe the response of materials, products or assemblies to heat and flame under controlled conditions, but does not by itself cover all the factors necessary for a fire hazard or fire risk assessment of materials, products or assemblies. under real fire conditions.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
