ISO 1182 Reaction to Fire Tests for Products - Flammability Test

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 1182 standard. This standard specifies a test method for determining the flammability performance of homogeneous products and key components of inhomogeneous products under certain conditions.

This fire test, although not completely inert, has been developed for use by those responsible for the selection of building products that produce only a very limited amount of heat and flame when exposed to temperatures of approximately 750°C.

The limitation of application area for testing homogeneous products and important components of inhomogeneous products was introduced due to problems in defining specifications for samples. The design of the sample of inhomogeneous products strongly influences the test results, so the inhomogeneous products cannot be tested according to this international standard.

The attention of all persons involved in administering and conducting this test is drawn to the fact that fire testing can be dangerous and that toxic, harmful fumes and gases are likely to be produced during testing. Operational hazards may also arise during testing of samples and disposal of test residues.

An assessment of all potential hazards and risks to health should be made, and safety measures should be identified and provided. Written safety instructions should be published. Appropriate training should be given to the relevant personnel. Laboratory personnel should ensure that they follow written safety instructions at all times.
