1 Scope
This standard specifies determination of flammability of rigid cellular plastic with vertical burning method.
This standard is applicable to the assessment of vertical flammability of rigid cellular plastic under laboratory conditions.
This standard is not applicable to materials subject to melt-dropping and sintering during burning.
This standard does not serve as a basis for evaluating the risk of fire under actual service conditions.
