EN ISO 11925-1 Tests for Reaction to Fire - Flammability of Construction Products Exposed to Direct Impact of Flame - Part 1: Standard Test for Flammability Guidance

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 11925-1 testing. This White Paper provides guidance on "flammability" testing for building products. Explain the flammability principles and characterize the different ignition sources.

The results of small scale flammability tests can be used as a component of the overall hazard analysis of a given fire scenario. It is therefore important to fully characterize the selected flame or radiation source so that relevant conclusions can be drawn from the test results.

This fire test method was developed to describe the response of products to fire performance. The method specifies a test to determine the flammability of products by direct small flame impingement under zero affected radiation using test specimens oriented vertically.

While the method is designed to assess flammability, this is addressed by measuring the spread of a small flame on the vertical surface of the sample after a small (match-size) flame is applied to the surface or edge of a sample. Determining the production of flame droplets depends on whether the filter paper placed under the sample is ignited.
