EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of UNI 8457 testing. The UNI 8457 standard, developed by the Italian National Standards Institute (UNI), describes a test method for determining the post-burn time, post-incandescence time, damaged area and drip time of a test sample exposed to the effect of a small flame applied to a face. This standard applies to products that are flammable on one side or the other, but not at the same time.
The said standard is not applicable to building materials with test methods defined in the UNI EN 13501-1 standard. This test method provides an indicative indicator of the fire response of a product in the initial stage of a fire under the influence of a limited volume source of ignition.
In short, both the UNI 8456 standard and the UNI 8457 standard focus on the following factors:
Flame spread during testing is measured along the edges of a vertical or horizontal surface of the sample exposed to a flame. After flashing, the damaged area and dripping condition are observed. Depending on the factors listed above, materials are classified as follows:
