2、r oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This fire-test-response standard provides for measuringthe res
3、ponse of materials exposed to controlled levels ofradiant heating with or without an external ignitor.1.2 This test method is used to determine the ignitability,heat release rates,mass loss rates,effective heat of combustion,and visible smoke development of materials and products.1.3 The rate of hea
4、t release is determined by measurementof the oxygen consumption as determined by the oxygenconcentration and the flow rate in the exhaust product stream.The effective heat of combustion is determined from a con-comitant measurement of specimen mass loss rate,in combi-nation with the heat release rat
5、e.Smoke development ismeasured by obscuration of light by the combustion productstream.1.4 Specimens shall be exposed to initial test heat fluxes inthe range of 0 to 100 kW/m2.External ignition,when used,shall be by electric spark.The value of the initial test heat fluxand the use of external igniti

7、;this is used for exploratory ordiagnostic studies only.1.5 Ignitability is determined as a measurement of timefrom initial exposure to time of sustained flaming.1.6 This test method has been developed for use for materialand product evaluations,mathematical modeling,designpurposes,or development an
8、d research.Examples of materialspecimens include portions of an end-use product or thevarious components used in the end-use product.1.7 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.8 This standard is used to measure and des
9、cribe theresponse of materials,products,or assemblies to heat andflame under controlled conditions,but does not by itselfincorporate all factors required for fire hazard or fire riskassessment of the materials,products,or assemblies underactual fire conditions.1.9 This standard does not purport to a
