2、 designation indicates the year 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 is a fire-test-response sta
3、ndard.1.2 This test method provides a means of measuring smokeobscuration resulting from subjecting essentially flat materials,products,or assemblies(including surface finishes),not ex-ceeding 25 mm 1 in.in thickness,in a horizontal orientation,exposed to specified levels of thermal irradiance,from
4、aconical heater,in the presence of a pilot flame,in a singleclosed chamber.Optional testing modes exclude the pilotflame.1.3 The principal fire-test-response characteristic obtainedfrom this test method is the specific optical density of smokefrom the specimens tested,which is obtained as a function
5、 oftime,for a period of 10 min.1.4 An optional fire-test-response characteristic measurablewith this test method is the mass optical density(see AnnexA1),which is the specific optical density of smoke divided bythe mass lost by the specimens during the test.1.5 The fire-test-response characteristics
6、 obtained from thistest are specific to the specimen tested,in the form andthickness tested,and are not an inherent property of thematerial,product,or assembly.1.6 This test method does not provide information on thefire performance of the test specimens under fire conditionsother than those conditi
