2、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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This fire-test-response t
3、est method covers a small-scalelaboratory screening procedure for comparing the relativelinear rate of burning or extent and time of burning,or both,ofplastics in the form of bars,molded or cut from sheets,plates,or panels,and tested in the horizontal position.NOTE1This test method,and test method A
