EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 12881-2 testing. This standard describes a test method for evaluating fire propagation along a conveyor belt when the belt is exposed to a heat source.
The test method described in this section of EN 12881 is intended to provide an indication of the response of a conveyor belt when exposed to a major fire. The simulated fire is not caused by a local heat source, but by materials around the conveyor belt that ignite after exposure to other heat sources. Attention is drawn to the fact that in assessing the overall flammability characteristics of conveyor belts for particular installations, it is not sufficient to rely solely on any single test method, but consideration must also be given to each site location.
The main purpose of EN 12881-2 is to evaluate the fire performance of conveyor belts under controlled conditions simulating large-scale fires. This test is essential to ensure the safety and reliability of conveyor belts in situations where they may be exposed to potential fire hazards.
The standard outlines the test procedure and criteria for assessing the flammability of conveyor belts. Testing typically involves subjecting conveyor belts to a controlled fire in a laboratory setting, followed by measurement of various performance parameters during and after testing.
It is important to note that EN 12881-2 is only one part of the entire EN 12881 series, which includes several other parts covering different aspects of conveyor belts and fire resistance testing. Collectively, these standards provide a comprehensive framework for testing and evaluating the fire safety properties of conveyor belts.
