2、option 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.Scope*1.1 This fire-test-response standard contains a test methodfor small-scale labor
3、atory procedures to be used to determinethe relative burning characteristics and the resistance to burn-through of plastics using small bar and plaque specimensexposed to a 125-mm(500-W nominal)flame.1.1.1 Use Test Method D3801 for assessing comparativeburning characteristics of solid plastics in a
4、vertical position.NOTE1This test method is equivalent to IEC 60695-11-20 and UL 94(Section 9).1.2 The results are intended to serve as a preliminaryindication of their acceptability with respect to flammability fora particular application.The final acceptance of the material isdependent upon its use
5、 in the end-product that conforms withthe standards applicable to such end-product.1.3 The classification system described in Appendix X1 isintended for quality assurance and the preselection of compo-nent materials for products.1.4 If found to be appropriate,it is suitable to apply therequirements
6、to other nonmetallic materials.Such applicationis outside the scope of this technical committee.1.5 Fire testing is inherently hazardous.Adequate safe-guards for personnel and property shall be employed inconducting these tests.1.6 This standard is used to measure and describe theresponse of materia
7、ls,products,or assemblies to heat andflame under controlled conditions,but does not by itselfincorporate all factors required for fire hazards or fire riskassessment of materials,products,or assemblies under actualfire conditions.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concern
8、s,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.See 6.1.1 for a specific hazard statement.1.8 This international standard
