EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of DIN 53438 testing. Tests according to this standard serve to determine the behavior of combustible materials when ignited with a burner according to DIN 50050 in a combustion box according to DIN 50051 under specified test conditions.
Test methods are suitable for checking and comparing the homogeneity of products in terms of combustion behavior. In addition, test results can only provide indications of the combustion behavior of products under conditions that deviate from the test methods.
Burning time is the time from the start of flame application with a burner according to DIN 50051 until the flame on the sample goes out or the tip of the flame reaches the upper Me13 mark.
In a combustion box according to DIN 50050, a vertically arranged sample is exposed to the flame of a burner according to DIN 50051, in case of edge flare (method K), according to DIN 53438 part 2, on the surface of the sample facing the burner at the bottom open edge DIN In the case of surface flaming according to section 53438 of 3, it is determined whether and when the flame tip reaches a certain mark on the sample.
Experience has confirmed that both edge flare and surface flare must be defined to evaluate flammability properties. After careful consideration, it was decided not to include a test and evaluation method for dripping or falling burning parts, as the classification of materials in this respect could be very problematic or even misleading.
Test methods according to this standard were originally developed for plastics and tested in trials. However, this method As wood, paper etc. suitable. Similar standards exist for the textile industry.
