ASTM D2843 Test for Smoke Density from Combustion or Decomposition of Plastics

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D2843 standard. This standard specifies a laboratory procedure for measuring and monitoring the relative amounts of smoke blackening resulting from the combustion or degradation of plastics.

ASTM D2843 Test for Smoke Density from Combustion or Decomposition of Plastics

It is intended to be used to measure the smoke generating properties of plastics under controlled combustion or decomposition conditions. Correlation with other fire conditions is not implied. Measurements are made for loss of light transmission through a volume of collected smoke produced under controlled, standardized conditions. The device is made in such a way that flame and smoke can be seen during the test.

During combustion, gases or vapors, or both, are produced that can be potentially hazardous to personnel. Adequate measures will be taken to protect the operator.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. Values ​​in parentheses are for informational purposes only.

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.

Fire testing is inherently dangerous. Adequate safety precautions will be taken for personnel and property while these tests are carried out.

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.
